I B'Wana Rock and Roll All Night

Here's a little sketch of B'Wana Beast I did tonight. Fun character.

Star Wars commission in color!

HaHA! Take THAT 2009! I got it done before you ended!

Star Wars Commission WIP

Another toys for art commission - the dude in the middle is the one who commissioned the piece, flanked by two of his favorite alien species.



Next step: Color.

Supercar #11 - Hey there, it's Yogi Bear!

Back during the beginning of October (and therefore not mentioned throughout my Halloween Countdown) I did a piece for a new collaborative art blog I am a (procrastinating) part of, called "the pop project." My first piece combined my love of cartoons and cars with Yogi Bear driving an old Willys Jeep.

Halloween Countdown 2009 LIVES!

This past October, I spent the month drawing unique monsters from my vivid imagination, and the second monster I created was Ducktopus.


Ducktopus was a hit with one of my readers who goes by the moniker Wyrmphreak and writes on her blog Demonals about her awesome stuffed creations. She not only loved my silly drawing of Ducktopus, but with a little nudging even accepted the challenge of MAKING A REAL TOY DUCKTOPUS!

Now I've drawn a great many things in my life, but never has one of them been made into a real toy. So I have been extremely excited as I've followed the progress of this project.

So imagine my utter joy when I opened up the mailbox today to find Ducktopus in the flesh stuffing!

Hahahhaa this is the coolest thing EVAR!

Ducktopus immediately found some familiar faces, who were a little less pleased to see him than he was to see them.

So he hung out with the freaks for a little while. But they were a little too weird for him, and that laughing dog made him nervous.

"I tawt I taw a Ducktopus. I did! I did taw a Ducktopus!"

Finally Ducktopus found some folks who accepted him for who he is on the inside.

It's good to have friends.

I can't thank Wyrmphreak aka Carrie enough for this awesome awesome toy. I seriously believe she could sell a million of them - maybe we need to start a business together! Ducktopus needs his own toyline, clothing, and TV show stat! :)

Halloween Countdown 2009 will live on forever in the form of a little stuffed octopus/duck hybrid.

Thanks again, Carrie. You rock!

Birthday!

They say it's your birthday...well it's my birthday too, yeah!

Halloween Countdown 2009: Monster #31

Because I can't think of anything scarier than a fish with the face of Bob Hope.

Also, this post marks the end of Halloween Countdown 2009!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who followed along, and thanks for your patience during the lull in the middle of the month. Next year (insert part where I say I'm going to prepare ahead of time; but in reality I'm just as likely to be caught unprepared again next year,) so tune in October 1st 2010 for more Halloween goodness!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!

Halloween Countdown 2009: Monsters #26, #27, #28, #29, and #30.

Because dammit, I'm gonna finish this countdown BEFORE November 1st!

Halloween Countdown 2009: Monster #25

[Illustration of Dog-Boy based on eyewitness accounts.]

Dog-Boy was abandoned as a baby and raised by a pack of feral dogs. Taking on all the attributes of the dogs that raised him, Dog-Boy's brain has developed and solidified as he has aged; he cannot ever truly re-enter human society in any normal sense. Not that he isn't intelligent; he can speak and could easily attain a job, own a home, speak, roll-over, and fetch.

It's his utter disdain for pants that really holds him back.

Halloween Countdown 2009: Monster #24

The Phantasmagore appears to children when they enter their school's restroom, turn out the lights, shut their eyes and spin in front of the mirror chanting "Phantasmagore, Phantasmagore, Phantasmagore, Phantasmagore!"

When the spinning stops and the child looks into the mirror, the demonic Phantasmagore appears and eats their soul.

These children grow up to become lawyers.
