PROOFs for my two Kickstarter books!

This is exciting! After a crazy week (last week) of working with my graphic designer,Phil, on the layouts for BOTH books- "The Art of Tom Bancroft" and the bonus book "Outnumbered", those digital files went to the printer in China. Now, about a week later, I get hard copy mock ups of what the books will look like so I can approve trims, colors, page orders,etc. so exciting! I'm trying to get these books back from the printer as soon as possible. I know that after these proofs are approved, it's still usually two months before I will see the finished books (roughly a month to print and a month to ship). I can't wait for you all to get these books! Thanks so much for your support! -Tom B.

Bancroft Brothers Disney Jam drawing!

Here's a for fun #Disney character drawing my bro, Tony, and I did together.  I did the Merida and Tony did the Wart.   It was fun. This is one of two Jam drawings we did together.  The next, I will post tomorrow.  This is for sale in my Store.  

LAST TWO #MerMay drawings!

I forgot to post yesterday's #MerMay mermaid and I'm adding in today's- the LAST mermaid for MAY.  It has been fun.  Yesterday, I took requests on which celebrity I should make into a mermaid and Arianna Grande won.  #MerMay turned out to be great fun and extremely popular (tens of thousands of submissions) so I think i may have stumbled into an annual event!  If you like this Arianna Grandemaid, look for it in my Store, for purchase- along with a couple other mermaid pieces of original artwork. 

Today and yesterday's #Mermays!

Here's the last two days of #MerMay drawings.  I still haven't done the full range of mermaid drawings and styles I want to do.  The Embrace one is at least a little different for me.  I haven't had a ton of time to experiment like I'd like to, so many of these have fallen into my "usual style", which is a bit disappointing for me.  Still, doing a new one (in color, thanks to Jeremiah Skipper) every day (except weekends) is hard enough, right?  Both of these originals are for sale in my Store!  

#Mermay is in FULL Swing!

Hey All!  I haven't been great about posting here with every #MerMay mermaid I've been doing, sorry about that.  The best place to see them is on my Instagram (tombancroft1), but I want to play catch up and post a few here.  Enjoy!  Some original art mermaids coming in the next couple days, so watch for those.  

Happy Graduation from me and Minnie!

I did this for a special friend who is graduating HS Saturday, but I thought I'd share it for all of those out there that are graduating, or have recently.  Me and Minnie say "Happy Graduation"!  Hand inked with Kuretake brush pens, color with Copic markers.  

#MerMay, Day 13- Punk Mermaid

Not all mermaids are cut from the same cloth.  Some like things with a little "edge" to it.  Thanks to Jeremiah Skipper for these awesome colors.  Happy Friday the 13th also.  I'm not posting mermaids this weekend because I'm out of town, see you Monday for more.  ALSO- ONE week left to be a part of my "Art of Tom Bancroft" Kickstarter- of which, this mermaid is going to be included!  

#Mermay, Day 12: Pouty Mermaid

This was inspired by a photo I saw- which was actually of a little girl with long hair- but I liked the attitude and stance.  Mermaidized!  The original is in my Store for purchase, if interested!  ALSO- Its the last 8 days of my Art of Tom Bancroft Kickstarter!  Check it out please.
