A new volume of #BuddyCops is out now and will be available at my table during my fall shows before hitting #Patreon. Volume 2 is called, The Blockbusters, and it features some of the best duos the genre has to offer. Which buddy cops are your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

After missing it all summer, I finally got back to figure drawing class. I challenged myself to work smaller & limit my materials. I stepped out of my comfort zone, & painted with #acrylics for the longer pose. Ten 1 minute poses vs one 45 minute study. #pen #ink #acrylic #lifedrawing #gesturesketch
