Hey friends,This one’s a bit scary to write—but also a bit exciting. After years of pouring hours (and blood, sweat, and tears) into each of my pencil portrait originals, I’ve made the decision to raise my prices on all original detailed portrait drawings. This isn’t about being fancy or trying to slap a bigger price tag on a piece of paper. It’s about honoring the time, care, emotion, and effort that go into each portrait I create.

Galaxy Quest is SO good. It’s so underrated. And Missi Pyle is just too cute. When I had the chance to meet her at a convention, I knew I wanted to jump at it. I decided to draw her as her alien character Laliari in Galaxy Quest, embracing Tony Shalhoub’s Fred. haha. So great.

In anticipation of meeting E.T.’s Henry Thomas at a convention, I decided to draw E.T. and Elliott for Henry to sign for us. Growing up, it was my one aunt’s faaaavorite movie. So much so, she always had a bowl of Reese’s Pieces out on the counter at her annual picnic. (Yum!) So I made sure to bring a print of this to have Henry sign for her – and then I surprised her with it.

I haven’t seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but I wanted to draw Emilia Clarke — probably after seeing her inĀ Solo. But also to expand my drawing subjects. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Link to purchase prints of the drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/emilia-clarke-drawing-print-85-x-11
