The Night Fish and the Star Catcher

From the Drawings Unit a division of the Art Department in cooperation with the Department of Partnerships and Collaborations

I had the unique privilege to design the cover art for this years Inktober Art Box sketchbook, and I'm REALLY happy with how it turned out. This is an excellent sketchbook to draw in and I’m honored to have my art on it.

Here's the original art that I made which was then put on the sketchbook.

The Star Catcher

I created this guy last year for the ArtSnacks print. Not sure who he is, or what he's about, but he's a lot of fun to draw:

And I drew him again for one of my Inktober52 drawings:

I already have several space characters I've created and drawn comics with (Space Skull, Missile Mouse, Lucy Nova) but each of those are grounded in traditional sci-fi tropes. I think with Star Catcher I'm subconsciously wanting to explore a space fantasy that can't exist in reality. I guess this means you can expect to see more of him in the future.
