I'm just a Canadian guy that loves to draw and paint things that make me happy, which results in a lot of fan art. My current line of work has me at Big Blue Bubble as an animator. Enjoy!

Today is my anniversary! My wife and I have been married for 19 years!! As a little gift for her, I drew this picture. Now I just have to have it printed and framed so we can add it to our growing gallery at home. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ElzUngAhD/?igshid=1rlpthci1ixpt

Having fun with a different brush and colour style. Truth be told... I’ve never watched The Three Caballeros. I think it’s on You Tube. I should probably check it out. #thethreecaballeros 🦆 🦜 🐓 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgJQhYAjoW/?igshid=nu2oy7x013om

It’s my wife’s birthday today, so as I do, I drew her a picture. ❤️ Also... fun fact about my family, instead of birthday cake, we have birthday pie. Because pie is superior to cake. 🥧 https://www.instagram.com/p/By0mKpBg_VM/?igshid=1hv6qcqeojy0d

More face practice. Pretty happy with these. I should focus on making them a bit more stylized. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bya8sSmgiUm/?igshid=z9bneqc4g5h

Sometimes I feel like I draw the same faces all the time. So I decided to do some studies. I found these on Pinterest. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXnIRDgFLc/?igshid=1uiqgjjfvhn5z

Wrapping up MerMay with an Octomaiden Burlesque dancer. Watch as she does the Dance of the Seven Seas. I’m quite happy with her. It might be fun to draw more of her in the future. 🐙 #mermay2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIk3ljAzEl/?igshid=100sg0nnyzs1p

A few MerMay’s ago I drew a punk looking tattooed mermaid. I really liked her and I wanted to draw another. I really dig this one. #mermay2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByF4YudANTU/?igshid=v3wfk0xq09mz

Mermay is almost done. If I have any other mermaid ideas, I better draw them quick. Like this Squid Maiden and her little crab friend. 🦑 #mermay2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDRD5wDvwr/?igshid=bz8288ntx3l7

For today’s mermay drawing, I’ve done up an elegant eel maiden. Such poise and grace she has. #mermay2019 https://www.instagram.com/randy_van_der_vlag/p/BxSzM7MlcAz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i8060ahv7gc4

Octomaidens need more love. This one better hurry up or she’ll be late to Celebration of the Seas. 🐙 #mermay2019 https://www.instagram.com/randy_van_der_vlag/p/BxNAxyvFk2T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6t7gui2x85du

Mermay is in full swing, but I’m too busy this year to participate at level I usually do. Oh well... there’s always next year. I see if I can make some mermaid sketches in my spare time though. #mermay2019 https://www.instagram.com/randy_van_der_vlag/p/BxKOUVNFB01/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e60tb7ci9zrb

Time for walkies everyone. Okay... this sketch makes me very happy. I hope it makes you all happy too. 🐕 🐩 https://www.instagram.com/randy_van_der_vlag/p/Bwr2VwmlBx3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=utp5i0jowqap

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is finding their eggs and enjoying their chocolate bunnies. 🐰#easter #chocolatebunny https://www.instagram.com/randy_van_der_vlag/p/BwhQvo8l1jh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=teps01099w7e

Ugh... don’t you hate it when your potions don’t turn out how you expected. I know it’s not the season for witches, but I had this idea and just had to draw it. Happy Easter-ween! 🐣 👻 🐰 🎃 https://www.instagram.com/randy_van_der_vlag/p/BwZQPVulMx0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19gb0bzmgjc85
