Happy Thursday, fam! In honor of how close we are to the weekend, let's do the weekly throwback thing! Facebook memories served up three winners this morning, so let's go with those! Fresh Paint 04-2018 by Samax Amen + Michael Lagocki 18 x 20 water-based markers in large sketch pad Me and my buddy Michael teamed up on this marker doodle at FRESH PAINT, a monthly live art + hip hop show at the Independent Bar & Kitchen in Dallas. I'm looking forward to being able to get back out and draw among the people again someday. like/ comment/ share on Facebook Happy 50th Birthday Javier (Muerto) Here's a 30 minute sketch of Javier Hernandez's character Muerto that I drew in 2016 for his 50th birthday. This year, Javier is raising money for the National Center for Victims of Crime, in honor of his brother. CLICK HERE to contribute to his fundraiser. like/ comment/ share on Facebook Millie is With Me by Samax Amen 16 x 20 Sharpie on white board I drew this on this day in 2017 for Art in Grief, a show about coping with loss through art. My ex-wife rescued Millie, a lovely plump black cocker spaniel, years before we got married.  Millie was her first baby, my stepdog from a previous relationship, and Marley's big sister. She died of cancer in March of 2015. ♥ r.i.p. Millie ♥ like/ comment/ share on Facebook A huge thanks to everyone who has been ordering these stickers!
