  • Erica Goldberg

    In high school, my older sister was a lot like Erica Goldberg: cool, stylish, & popular. She still is! She would call me a dork and could beat me up if she wanted to, but if anyone else tried to do the same she would be right there to stick up for me. Gina introduced me to so much great music back then too, like The Cure and The Smiths, both bands of which have been represented by Erica on the show. I love that Erica has gone through a nerdy phase as well. Now she is cool & confident but deep down we know she still loves Star Wars!

  • Adam Goldberg

    As a child of the 80s, I can relate a lot to Adam Goldberg. I was totally into Voltron, Thundercats, Star Wars… all that geeky stuff! Like Adam, I was also not into sports- I would rather draw or play with toys in my room. And when I did go outside to play, I would wander the entire neighborhood observing creatures big and small. I think that was my yearning for photography before I even had a camera. In high school my friends and I always had a video camera on hand, making lots of meaningless movies.

  • Beverly Goldberg (Happy Smother’s Day!)

    Even if you didn’t grow up in the Philadelphia area in the 80s, The Goldbergs is an awesome show! My family lived in Willow Grove, just two towns away from Jenkintown, where The Goldbergs takes place. We lived there until about 1984 when we moved to Ocean City but I still have vivid memories of that area. I remember when the Willow Grove Park Mall was brand new! My mom would take us clothes shopping there and my favorite part was getting Chipwiches from the ice cream stand inside.

    I love that The Goldbergs captures the 80s so well and every character is hilarious in their own way. That’s why I decided to illustrate each one of them separately, starting with my favorite character: Beverly Goldberg. I hope to have these Smother’s Day cards available by the end of the week. They are perfect for Mother’s Day or any day!

    The Big Lebowski will be 20 on March 6th! What’s your favorite quote, dude?

  • Grumpy Owl

    Almost forgot about this owl sketch I colored. He needs a name!

  • Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

    Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was my favorite movie in middle and high school. I remember seeing it at the Point 4 with my dad and ever since I wanted to be like Ferris (who didn’t?) even though I was more of a Cameron. There are so many classic lines to the movie that I can’t pick just one. What’s your favorite? Bonus points if you can name the artists who’s paintings are on the wall.

  • Vegetarian Chewbacca

    Couldn’t draw this one fast enough. My favorite part of The Last Jedi, without really spoiling it, is Vegetarian Chewbacca! And I thought I couldn’t love my favorite Wookiee more.

  • Cousin Eddie’s RV (PG-13)

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

  • 2017 Best Nine

    top9

    I cheated and made my own #2017bestnine of some of my new work this year. Starting back in January I set out to illustrate all of the pieces that have been on my list for a while, sketch of the days and otherwise. I made more than 30 new pieces this year and I hope I can keep up the pace for 2018, working on more original stuff. Some reoccurring themes this year: big glasses (red ones too), line-ups, Stranger Things, Twin Peaks, mermaids (not pictured), lots of yellow (who knew?), and Christmas lights. Thank you for all the likes!
