The usual guys blankly staring, cats, and below, cute chicks. Just because I go out to events doesn’t mean I’m not a strange recluse. It just means there are a lot of events happening. But the video stuff is fun. Takes a long time to upload. My next challenge there is finding music I can […]

This is a pair of a pair of things. The only connection is that they happened to be on the same pages with each other. Going to do more street scenes. They’re kind of boring, but when I do them I think of the buildings as having some emotion or attitude. This corner apartment above […]

Finished with the labour-intensive event chronicling for now, and back to boring little drawings. They don’t attract as many hits! Still, I’m very happy to have started using the Sony Vegas editing program, and mastered at least a few of the basics. (can’t imagine wanting to use many of those tacky special effects and wipes, […]

Lots of scribbly drawing with the roller pen, while watching the American election results on BBC via internet. And with mild dismay, but that’s what happens. Is America going down the tubes? We’ll see.

But not before I post some new junk, sort of comic related. First, a Daisy Mae: She sorts of fits into my trying to do “good girl” art, related to that burlesque project, which has kind of gone on hold for the moment. Then there’s this item I drew on a Twitter challenge. Unfortunately, I […]

One last zombie-related picture, painted on Hallowe’en night, appropriately enough. A tribute to Remy, the mohawked guy in the picture, whose gory stage makeups inspired me in this project in making regular people scary. It was quite an experience, exploring one’s morbid side. Also freedom in making pleasant faces look as disgusting as possible. A […]
When you’re wandering in dark places, always good to bring your fire-horse/dog/rhino pet. I suppose it’s an escaped Pokemon. This drawing below was on the back of the paper. I’m very cheap and don’t like wasting paper. Also, the question came up last night of where to store all these things. I don’t think they’re […]
Graveyards are pleasant places to sit and think. Look over the names, even paint watercolours. Wait … WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!!! Here’s a watercolour painter and comic artist who’s been an influence on me, lately, explaining her technique, in a graveyard. [link]

But they’re vegetarian Zombies, I tell you. I had the brainstorm, a little too close to Hallowe’en of offering to zombify, vamp or monsterize people’s twitter icons for that frightening evening. So, I’m drawing tons of zombies. Want to set up a web page where I can sell these, and other art things, but haven’t […]
Just to give you a breather amidst all the un-death, here’s a sketch of a Rhinemaiden from The Ring of the Nibelungen. There are three of them in the opera, Woglinde, Wellgunde, and Flosshilde. I guess this is Flosshilde. “Rhinegold” was also the name of an American beer it looks like they might be selling […]

That’s my thing at the moment. This is a link to some of my research material. One of those brilliant ideas I hope works, though I wish I had it earlier. We’ll see how it goes. Tough doing creepy monstrous stuff when you’re mainly used to cute and quirky. But always good to expand one’s […]
Which is which? He’s maybe a missing link, or Dr. Zaius’ cousin. Beauty and the Beast? Just a quick morning sketch.

Feeling more confident about my watercolour work. That means, along with doing stuff in my books, I’ll work on some stretched, better-quality paper, which will make things smoother, and easier to scan. I like painting in the books, and putting a lot of effort into preparing something makes me nervous, and leads to bad drawings. […]
