    Otis College of Art and Design Guest Speaker

    I’m excited and honored to say I’ve been asked to be a guest speaker at Otis College of Art and Design! I’ll be discussing my career path, professional tips and my thoughts on what it’s like to be a working artist with an auditorium of mostly graduate art students this Friday morning at 11:30am. So, if you’re on the Westside and want to watch me be awkward in public for an hour, haha... #illustrator #illustration #artist #sketch #doodles #characterdesign #visdev #chrisablesar

    Guest On New Show "Spotlight Studio"

    It was fun being a guest on Jukin Media's new show, Spotlight Studio with @marydoodles and @kvephoto! I don’t get to participate in nearly enough art challenges especially ones involving traditional mediums such as acrylic paints. It was nice to get to do so today despite feeling really rusty throughout it. #illustrator #artist #painting #acrylicpainting #acrylics #artchallenge #chrisablesart

    March For Our Lives Protest

    After connecting with the star of NBC's Parks and Recreation via Twitter, Mr. Offerman was good enough to join us downtown at the Los Angeles March For Our Lives Protest while sporting the tee. "Vote Like Knope..." can be purchased through HunTees.com. All proceeds will be going to the Everytown for Gun Safety organization to help fund gun safety legislation. #marchforourlives #march4forourlivesprotest #guncontrol #nickofferman #votelikeknope #chrisables #chrisablesart #illus

    "Don't Be A Dope, Vote Like Knope, Fuck the NRA"

    I decided to repurpose my Leslie Knope illustration after the NRA’s little attempt at being cute and hip. The message Mike Schur, Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman and Adam Scott sent to them in return is clear, “Don’t be a dope, vote like Knope. Fuck the NRA.” #NRA #guncontrol #guncontrolnow #gunreformnow #enoughisenough #leslieknope #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #illustration #illustrator #digitalart #digitalillustration #chrisablesart
