In honor of Avatar’s new release last, Hunter Gatherer, I thought it was fitting to revisit the drawing I did of the band late last year. Not only because it was my first time drawing the Swedish heavy metal band, but it was also one of the rare instances in the past decade where I’ve drawn something using color! And not pens! It was truly a record for the books. Anyways, expect an album review sometime this weekend, but in the meantime, enjoy this drawing!

Fan Art Friday: Cillian Murphy
The first thing I ever saw Cillian Murphy in was Red Eye a long time ago, and his deranged performance stuck with me. Since then, he’s been in numerous memorable films and shows, like Peaky Blinders and Inception. Of his abundance of work though, my favorites have to be Anthropoid and Free Fire. Worth the watch if you’ve got some time.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Highly Suspect
I suppose more specifically, it is Johnny Stevens from Highly Suspect, but still. Despite sitting on this drawing for such a long time, I was really pleased with how it turned out. I even dabbled with different pen colors rather than black! Still Papermate though. Anyways, I decided to post this drawing because I’ve had some social media interactions with Johnny Stevens this week and it makes me really happy. Also, this could be an homage to the band since my sister and I were supposed to see them in April before COVID ruined everything fun in this life. Enjoy 🙂
Read moreFan Art Friday: Robert Pattinson
Hot off the presses is my latest drawing of Robert Pattinson! Some of the inspiration for drawing him is due to the upcoming release of the novel, Midnight Sun, by Stephanie Meyer, but it’s also because of all of the other awesome stuff he’s been involved with! Seriously, Twilight has to be the worst movie in his filmography. If you really want to watch him shine I recommend, Little Ashes, Good Time, and Damsel. These are all so eclectic and just awesome! I’m also really looking forward to what’s coming next for him, both indie and blockbuster.
Read moreFan Art Friday: One Direction
Look, I know it’s been a relatively short time since I last posted a One Direction drawing, but tough squash! My love for them is deep and I have drawn them A LOT over the years, so you’re just going to have to deal with it. This time it comes with good reason, though! It’s been ten whole years since they originally formed. Sure, they burned out like a dying star after only five years together, but still. Their dominance over pop culture is something I think people will be hard-pressed to forget anytime soon. I had hoped foolishly, like most of the other Directioners out there, for a reunion announcement with this ten-year anniversary, but to no avail. Doesn’t mean I’ll ever stop hoping for it!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Adele
While I’m not the world’s biggest Adele fan, I do appreciate her immense talent and amiable personality. I also really love her album covers! There’s nothing I love more than the striking aesthetic of black and white photographs, so it was a no-brainer for me to pick one of them and draw it. The lucky winner happened to be her third record, 25. I was pretty pleased with how this turned out, and it’s making me consider drawing her other covers, as well. Enjoy!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Fall Out Boy
This drawing is a bit of a throwback, but in this time of quarantine I’ve been listening to a lot of early 2000s Fall Out Boy. That, and I’m sad I’ll have to wait until next summer to see them on their Hella Mega Tour now.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Jessica Chastain
I definitely admire a lot of the films Jessica Chastain has been in over the years (Molly’s Game, for real go watch it), and she’s a beauty, so here’s a drawing of her!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Bad Suns
In celebration of the sixth anniversary of Language and Perspective from Bad Suns, here’s a throwback drawing (one of many) that I gifted them at one of their shows. It even made it onto their old website!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Cillian Murphy
Ever since watching Red Eye back in 2005, I’ve considered myself a Cillian Murphy fan. Sure, he’s been in tent-pole blockbusters like Inception and The Dark Knight Trilogy, but I’m more fond of his indie film ventures, like Free Fire and Anthropoid. Seriously, if you’ve never seen these films, then you must!
