New sketch: Shane Zen

His sound lives somewhere between country and folk, with a twist I can’t quite name—but I know it it's there. Shane has smooth sounds and a soothing voice. Keep your eye out for his recordings on streaming sources.

Sketches for social media use are available for $150. All I need is a good picture of you/the subject. You can send me one or I can take it if you're local.
Larger or high-res options available—just ask.

A reminder that I don’t just sketch musicians.

This one’s spoken for—but if you’re thinking about something custom, I’d love to hear the idea.

This share means a lot to me.

michaelsongs shared my live sketch on YouTube today—with my original write-up about his music—in such a thoughtful way.

When I sketch musicians live, I’m not trying to create a portrait—I’m trying to capture what it *feels like* to hear👂them.

Seeing michael share both the sketch *and* my words about his music felt like a full-circle moment. Grateful for my local South Jersey music community and how we take the time out to support each other. 🤍🎶

If you don’t know michael songs’ music, head over to https://www.youtube.com/ and subscribe, then check out his live show every Sunday at noon Eastern.

Just upgraded my sketching setup with a stylus and Procreate on my iPad and wow—what a game changer. The control, the detail, the flexibility… this combo has seriously upped my game. 💥

This newest piece features Dave and Jeff Epstein (See Jeff Sing, ) from Tanner Brewing Co.'s Open Mic. Always a pleasure to sketch musicians who bring such a great vibe to the room, and I love that this duo is using the image as part of their marketing. There’s nothing better than seeing artwork out in the world doing what it was created to do.

From mine to yours, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Sketch Subject: michaelsongs

Just finished this sketch of michael songs — singer-songwriter and, honestly, one of the most prolific musicians I know personally. His songs have a beautiful, lived-in, quality, and are full of both struggle and grace. There’s a depth and rawness to his writing that feels earned, and also like the beauty of a waterfall created by erosion.

I wanted to capture that intensity — the weight of experience, the honesty, and the quiet that comes through when he performs. This piece is less about likeness and more about presence.

If you’re interested in using my art for album artwork, merch, or a custom commission, feel free to reach out — I’d love to collaborate.

Sketch Spotlight: Amber West (Singer & Guitarist, )

What started as a way to stay grounded during open mics—sketching on my iPhone to keep my hands busy and my mind tuned into the music—quickly turned into something bigger. Those early one- or two-color doodles have evolved into detailed, expressive pieces, and the support I’ve gotten along the way has meant everything. I’m not slowing down anytime soon, so follow along for more.

I caught this moment during one of our Fierce & Fretted shows—an all-female musician concert series my friends and I help put together a few times a year. Amber West has one of those voices that grabs you instantly. There’s a raw, captivating quality in the way she performs, and I wanted this sketch to feel alive with that same energy and emotion.

Keep an eye out for her upcoming album Rinney, releasing at the start of 2026. If her live shows are any indication, and I know they are, it’s going to be unforgettable.

These one-of-a-kind designs are available for purchase. Imagine what a piece like this could do as album artwork or personalized merch. If you’re looking for something meaningful, original, and completely custom, I’ve got you.

I started sketching on my iPhone at open mics to help me focus on the music—sketching keeps my hands busy and my brain focused so I can stay fully present in what I'm hearing. What began as simple 1- or 2-color designs has grown into something much more involved, and the feedback I’ve received has been incredible. I have no plans of stopping, so follow me here to see them as I create them.

These one-of-a-kind designs are available for purchase. Imagine what art like this could on the cover of an album or used on personalized merch. If you want something unique and meaningful, I’ve got you covered.

Sketch Spotlight: Jake Langley (Amazing Keyboardist, )

Sometimes the best moments happen when the music takes over. I caught Jake Langley in one of those fully locked-in states—his curls bouncing, the backlight splitting into wild prism colors, and that unmistakable focus only true musicians have.

This profile sketch came from trying to capture that movement, that dedication, that feeling when someone is fully in it.

I just finished creating an online portfolio through Adobe’s Portfolio app and I’m psyched to share it! It highlights the different types of work I do, including a brand-new section of my musician sketches (shout-out to Whiskey Jim Music for the suggestion 🎶).

If you’d like to take a look, here it is:
