PODCAST - Episode 2

Happy Saturday, dear listeners!

Let me keep you company for approximately 17 minutes with the November podcast! In it, I share some thoughts on how things have been going for me as well as things I've been consuming. I already like this episode better than the first, and I hope you do too.

Next time I'll ask ahead of time for questions so that can be a part of the show, but for now, I hope you enjoy!

STICKER - Thirsty Morning

Happy Wednesday, my morning glories!

I was "blessed" to be in a four hour Animation Guild meeting last night, and had lots of time to work on work stuff and then this. I had sketched it several weeks ago and really wanted to turn it into a sticker but wasn't able to find the time.

I'm really hoping to do a Cyber Monday sale next week on my etsy, and would love to have a couple new items. At the very least, I'll have this available! I'll post more about a sale as we get closer.

November Stickers are (Finally) On the Way!

Hey stickies!

Despite my intentions and efforts, the November stickers took a lot longer to get out the door than I wanted. But they're on the move! In fact, this was taken Wednesday afternoon, so they're well on their way!

As always, US Sticker Club members usually get their stickers within a week of sending, and international members typically get them in 2-3 weeks depending on your location. Of course, if it feels like it's been too long, please don't hesitate to ...

December 2024 Mr. Sticker Reveal!

Happy Friday, my eternal flames!

December's snowy-inspired sticker finally has his companion, and it's this cozy campfire Mr. Sticker!

I did a few really quick and ugly sketches for ideas for this one, and I thought it'd be fun to share them:

December Pinup Sticker Club Reveal

Happy Saturday, my chill babes!

The winner of the sticker club theme poll was "Snow" and I thought it would be more fun to lean into the spirit of adventure than the expected cozy December vibes (not that there's anything wrong with that). Bit breezy down there, I suspect!

This one was an ordeal. The US election results really knocked me off my axis and being creative outside of work (and frankly sometimes inside of work) felt just...impossible sometimes....

DOODLES - 11/15/2025

Hey hey, patrons!

It's been a tricky time, emotionally. The landslide Trump win last week has made it hard to be creative on a personal level. That and the fact that I'm VERY busy with my day job at WB and still working on commissions. I'll talk more about how I'm feeling when I do this month's Patreon podcast, but I just wanted to apologize for being kinda MIA for the past week and change. I'd like to ramp things back up. I love Patreon and I want to keep the momentum ...

Pinup Sticker Club - December 2024 Sticker Theme Poll

Happy Monday, sticky buddies!

I know my American patrons are going to vote in the presidential election tomorrow (you ARE going to vote, aren't you?!) but we have an extremely important election right here and today, too: the December sticker theme for the Pinup Sticker Club!

I'm keeping this one simple: weather! Which one of these inclement weather patterns will inspire the cutest pinup sticker? You decide! I'm excited for any of them, really.

Drew Draws Pinups PODCAST - Episode Zero???

Happy Wednesday, my lovely listeners!

I'm happy to present the extremely low-key first episode of my monthly Patreon podcast! Maybe I'll give it a cheekier official name next month, but for now this will act as the sorta test episode, a pilot to see what y'all think.

This is something I've been thinking about doing for a good bit as a means of collecting my thoughts each month and adding more value to your Patreon subscription. So please give it a listen, let me k...

SKETCH - Morning Ritual

Happy Tuesday, my hot brews!

I love mornings in theory, but I hate waking up at a reasonable time, which I have to do now that I have a job again. As such, I'm something of a coffee addict and have a cup first thing once I get to the studio. Couldn't think of what I wanted to draw as a warmup today, but then I looked over at my coffee and it came to me immediately.

Side note, does anybody else find the "sweatpants and nothing else" combo to be incredibly sexy?

I think this c...

SKETCH - 10/25/2024 Doodles

Happy Friday, my lil' scribbles!

Most of my pinup artwork is the kinda stuff you wouldn't feel too weird hanging up somewhere in your home, and that's by design. I love the cheekiness and humor that can come with a lite bit of body positivity, and I find that more explicit work doesn't always convey that as well, or at least not as accessibly. But...sometimes it's fun to draw the naughtier stuff, and today I was feeling like drawing some saucy scribbles to warm up for w...

SKETCH - 10/31/2024 Doodles

Happy Wednesday!

I've got oodles of doodles for you! Well, okay, it's not enough to qualify as an "oodles" but it's some doodles and we like doodles. My current job requires me to loosen up and draw a LOT. Definitely much looser than these sketches, but the high volume of drawing makes it easier to bang out a few cute sketches for Patreon, which is fun.

I look forward to getting back to drawing full pieces again at some point, but right now work takes priority, as...

SKETCH - Roller Blades

Happy Thursday, sk8r bois!

The Warner Bros. job I'm on right now requires me to work a little looser, which is certainly fun. It's a good opportunity to get sloppy with warmup sketches and such.

I have a doodled thumbnail for a really cute piece featuring a guy on roller blades, but haven't taken it to a proper sketch yet. Soon, maybe. Or maybe not. I dunno. But it's on my mind a little bit so here's a doodle of a cutie in blades!

Hope you like!

Pinup Sticker Club - November Sticker Reveal!

Happy Monday, my creamy lil' dollops!

As so often happens, the winning theme for the Pinup Sticker Club won by a total landslide, with almost half the votes. I guess I was pretty surprised, I actually expected "Bread" to win! But we got "Cake," and I'm definitely not mad about it.

This makes me want frosting real bad! I love the aesthetic of cutesy baking, so this was a ton of fun once the design clicked for me. I considered going for a more Autumnal color scheme/...

October Stickers are On the Way!

Happy Saturday, stickies!

If you're a member of the Pinup Sticker Club, you'll be getting your stickers and postcards soon! I dropped them off at the post office last night - the stack was too big to photograph in my hands, so I just took a picture of the bag-full.

As always, US members will usually get theirs in about a week or so, and international members will get theirs in 2-3 weeks typically. If it feels like it's been too long, please don'...

Surpriiiise! Third year in a row I'm doing a werewolf design. It's consistently popular, but more importantly, consistently fun to draw!

October 2024 Sticker Reveal!

Happy Thursday, final gurlies!

Oh my god, do you like scary movies?? The October Pinup Sticker Club theme poll landed on "Scary Movies," and I figured a great point of inspiration would be the 1996 Wes Craven classic, "Scream." Obviously everyone knows Ghostface, but the most iconic scene in the film for me is the opening featuring Drew Barrymore's Casey Becker. Poor Casey!

I like to imagine sexy pinup Ghostface is on the phone with Mr. Sticker. Thes...

SKETCH/WIP - Halloween 2024

Happy Monday, my lil' ookie spookies!

I'm in the process of preparing a couple things for the Halloween season for my store, and the centerpiece of those things is this piece. It's currently intended to be a print and possibly a shirt, and this is of course just the sketch stage. I've got a few things I wanna fix up and change before going into the finishing process, balance it out a little better, but I figured this would be a great way to start the week out here on pa...

WIP - Space Channel 5/Dreamcast Tribute

Evening, patrons!

It's been a somewhat quiet week here as I've got a few things cookin' and have been focusing on commissions as well. As many of you know, this past Monday was the 25th anniversary of Sega's beloved Dreamcast console, and I wanted to do a tribute but certainly wasn't able to get something ready in time. Pity, but what'll ya do. I'm sadly bound to the flow of time like the rest of us, loathe as I am to admit it.

Hey Pinup Sticker Club members!

The September stickers are officially on the way! That's a FAT stack of envelopes, if I do say so myself. So pleased with these stickers and I think you're gonna love 'em too.

I want to address something with the August sticker letters, particularly the postcard. I print them on my thermal label printer, since I like that lo-fi feel, but last time I tried experimenting with halftones and my printer didn't pick up on them. I did...

COMPLETE - Zangief Vs. Ryu

Hello, my lil' hadoukens!

I long wanted to do a Zangief piece, hoping to get something out a year (or more???) ago when Street Fighter 6 released. Alas, it just never materialized, sitting as a post-it note on my Cintiq labeled "Zangief" for quite some time.

This past Saturday was the Art Night Market at Trustworthy Brewing Co. here in Burbank, the second one this year. This time wasn't quite as lucrative as the first, but the spirit was overall good, with lots of...
