Monster Monday: Weekly Monster & Creature Sketch & Illustration Blog

This week, being Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I took a different spin on the monster. This is Fred. He’s your average everyday guy but he can put away a turkey like nobody’s business. To you and I he doesn’t seem like a monster, but to a turkey…

Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving.

He’s really quite curious as to why all the other kids run away from him.

Decided for a different take on MonsterMonday.

After creating Frankenstein, the shrunken head and the devil images for MonsterMonday, I was wondering what they could be used for. I showed the shrunken head image to a friend and the made a comment about “creative juices.” That got me thinking about different names for it and I came up with Voodoo Juice. “Hmm,” I thought, “that would make a cool beer in a store.” I played around with it and came up with the Voodoo Juice label and then the light went on. Why not do Monster Brew’s labels and see what they look like? So I took the three I had done and added a pirate themed one and “BAM.”

I love it when one idea feeds another.
