This is one of my earlier drawings I made with an ink pen, in April of 1995. I drew this while looking at a photograph taken on the Apollo 15 mission, July 26-August 7, 1971.

This is another drawing from my collection of NASA orientated sketches (I told you NASA was a hobby of mine!). This particular piece is Buzz Aldrin, standing on the surface of the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission in July of 1969. Again, it is an ink drawing, done in April of 1995.

This is another NASA orientated (And you didn't believe me when I said I loved all-things-NASA). While visiting the Kennedy Space Center, I came across the command module used in the Apollo-Soyuz mission. It was on that mission that Deke Slayton, the last of the Original Seven got his wings---it took him near 20 years, but he made it to space. This is a pencil sketch done in April of 1995.

The American Civil War is one of my favorite periods in American history. The passion, idealism, and patriotism of the men who fought the war has always captivated me. So it seems only fitting that the Civil War is also one of my favorite subjects when drawing. This drawing of an unknown soldier (ie, one I made up) was very popular with my friends, so I decided to add it to the gallery. This is the first of the pencil drawings on this page, and was done with a single mechanical pencil. This piece was completed in May of 1994.

The greatest battle of the American Civil War was undobutedly the "high water mark of the Confederacy", the battle of Gettysburg. This drawing was inspired from the cover to the soundtrack of the epic movie Gettysburg . This is another drawing I did entirely in ink (with no pencil pre-sketches).

Of the many famous and infamous generals produced during the U.S. Civil War, few could out do Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, United States Army. From the battle of Vicksburg to the surrender at Appomattox, U.S. Grant became known as "Uncondidtional Surrender Grant". I drew this piece from a photograph taken of the general during the war. It is another pencil drawing, again using the single mechanical pencil.

One of the most famous, if not the most famous picture of World War II was the shot taken of six Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima, February 23, 1945. This drawing was sketched following the 53rd anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It remains today as my absolute favorite drawing, and is framed and hanging on my wall at home.

One of my favorite TV shows of all time was SPACE:Above and Beyond. It only ran for one season, but it was a good one. My favorite character of the show was one Colonel T. C. McQueen, a tough as nails U.S. Marine Aviator. As a tribute to his acting, I drew this picture of James Morrison, who played McQueen, and he autographed it! So here it is for all you die hard SAABers out there!

Besides drawing actors, battles, landscapes, etc., I also enjoy drawing wildlife. Among my favorite subjects to draw in the natural kingdom are whales. Although I don't get the chance to go down to the corner and sketch myself a real live whale (there aren't too many of them in Delaware--sorry, Delawhere?) I have to use my imagination (which is pretty powerful in some people's opinions). These killer whales, or Orcas, were drawn using my graphic design pencils.
