Charcoal Dust and Magic!
These first 6 weeks of 2014 have been a mad sketch fest!

Here’s a small selection of some of my portrait sketches from the last few weeks, starting with a little time lapse video of a quick sketch of Brett Down’s (of the Plywood Hoods) daughter Kelly…

This charcoal piece was commissioned by Ryan Nyquist (team rider for Haro BMX) – his two rad little dudes, Jameson and Tristan…
This piece was for John Buultjens of Haro BMX – his beautiful little girl, Mackenzie Mae…
And a quick sketch of freestyle BMX legend Bob Haro…
