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

Devil’s in the details

sgibbs — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 05:01:01 +0000

It’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve been busy with work projects with lot’s of parts. Having to make sure each item is correct and names are spelled correctly, all I could think was “devil’s in the details.” So… I made it the theme of my monster for today and did a devil. Thanks to Von Glitschka’s “Crumble. Crackle. Burn.” book for the background.

I’m no fan of the Republicans or the Democrats. I say if you want REAL change, “Don’t Be A Zombie, Vote Third Party!” ~ Chops!

A little something something from Monster By Mail

I draw a lot of monsters during the week. Some are good. Some are not as good. Luckily, this is one of the good ones. The person who ordered this wanted a fairy or nymph coming out of the box. I decided to draw a zombie. This is watercolor, colored pencil, ink and prismacolors.

Franky (Redux)

Samurai Cat vs Corny

Brian Moore — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:33:59 +0000

This was done as a birthday card for my brother, who lived in the midwest at the time. With acres and acres of corn filling the state, it’s a foregone conclusion that at least one ear (or more? …) would be mutated by cosmic rays and go on a rampage among the humans. Fortunately, the modern-day descendant of an ancient line of cat samurai is on hand to fight for justice.

Or something like that. Gouache on card stock, cut to shape.
