This is my buddy, my only male cat, Lepton. We occasionally let the adults outside in the yard supervised, so here he is enjoying some grass and watching the grasshoppers. I do take commissions.

There is a great challenge with drawing white animals. I'd been thinking about the polar bear for a while, then one of my reference photos spoke to me. I added the cub and the icy background. This will be the first in a series of mother/baby drawings...

These two geese live in an artificial pond near my house, along with a bunch of ducks. Until recently, I was unsure how to go about the drawing, but then I discovered that charcoal dissolves in water fairly easily. I drew the geese with charcoal penc...

The peregrine falcon is the fastest of all animals, and it wouldn't do to have her just sitting there. When the falcon hunts, it flies high overhead, looking for prey. Then it folds in its wings and dives, headfirst, and knocks out its unsuspecting d...

I've been meaning to draw a wolf for a long time now. Recently, the idea for this drawing came to mind, and while researching "white wolves" I came across this species, the Alaskan Tundra Wolf. 2009.

These are Grevy's zebras, the most endangered of the three remaining zebra species. Their habitat is currently in northern Kenya and parts of Ethiopia. Complete 2009. The original is currently unframed. Limited edition prints are also available.

This is one of my two adult cats. I let them out in the backyard occasionally, and on this particular day I noticed how his fur glistened in the sun. Here he is ready to start chomping on some tall grass.

This Sumatran tiger is my first drawing using Derwent's new tinted charcoal - charcoal with clay pigment added to give it a touch of color. Sumatran tigers are the second most endangered tiger subspecies, with fewer than 500 remaining in the wild. Co...

This Asian elephant at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque will be a grandmother in the next few months.

This is one of my better photos from a recent trip the zoo.

This is a recent photo of one of my cats resting.

This drawing has been my biggest challenge to date. I chose the scene and large size to help me learn colored pencils and patience. Nearly 60 hours spread out over 13 months has taught me valuable lessons. There are a dozen species of coral, five spe...

Narwhals are among the least understood of all the whale species. They live in the arctic (from Canada to Russia) and shy away from humans. These whales have a tusk, like that of an elephant, emerging from their upper left jaw. Nearly all males have ...

Snow leopards have always been my favorite wildcat. This drawing was done with black and white charcoal on a dark gray textured paper. A portion of my profit will go to snow leopard conservation. The original is currently being framed.

I decided to add some color to my drawings. I used four colors in this drawing - black charcoal, white charcoal, sepia Conte, and dark sepia Cretacolor. When I decided to draw an orangutan, the director of RedApes.org contacted me about the drawing b...
