At last, a cool perk to being the President, you have a dinosaur named after you.

Inspired by the latest issue of Inc. magazine.

Yer move, Saw Bones!

I'm having shoulder surgery on Friday. When the doctor told me that I had bone spurs, this varmint popped into my head.

The Pooch

Had Thanksgiving at a friend's house, and there were two dogs running about. Very well behaved, and very friendly. So here's a sketch dedicated to all the good dogs out there,
especially Levi and Jake.

"Come in, dear."

Creepy little fairy tale sketch.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
♫ "Come in, dear."♪

Red Guy

Quick sketch to get the day started, the Red Guy.

The Kid

Out of all the anthropomorphic snack cakes, Twinkie the Kid was always my favorite.
I mean, who would want to hang out with a fruit pie?

Plenty of time...

The Haunted Toaster

Twenty eight years ago, the TODAY show had a segment about a woman who was convinced that her toaster was possessed by the Devil. I got to thinking that maybe the problem with her toaster, was, like most toast related difficulties, due to the wrong setting.

Frankenstein's Monster of Fashion!

MOTHMAN...meh.

I have a new dishwasher coming today, so with having it delivered, the old one taken away, and the new one installed, my day is shot.
So...a post from a few years ago, while I wait:
Mothman. What a stupid monster. Today's Monster of the Day is Mothman. Maybe I should explain.When I was a kid, ( well, even now ),I read anything I could, ( can ), get my hands on. Many times I chose a book strictly by its cover. Most times when it had a Frank Frazetta cover, I was in for a great read, but not with the
" Mothman Prophecies ".
Look at this cover:Looks exciting, doesn't it? I bought the book, jumped into it, and was terribly disappointed as only a fat kid in Minnesota, in the dead of winter can be.
I mean look at it. The Mothman is gonna get those people. Lay a beating on the guy, and maybe a little insect-lovin' on the chick.
But no....nothing like that in the story. Based on some "true" events, this book was a yawnfest filled with sightings of glowing eyes, men in black, blah blah blah.
So...today's Monster of the Day is phoning it in...the Mothman.

Gotta admire the optimists!

SMILE

Found a great series of Illustrator tutorials on You Tube, by a talented guy named Clay Butler. Including the rough sketch, this took me about half an hour. Of course, for some unknown reason my program crashed and I had to restart, but even including that bump, I'd say it was closer to 40-45 minutes. I have to practice his technique more, but I am always happy to add to my skills.

As a favor to my artist friends who use Illustrator, here is the link to Clay's site. Enjoy!

Protect Your Monster strives to promote HIV/STD prevention and awareness in a fun and creative way. This is a still from the animated PSA I created for them. It always feels good to get involved with a good cause.

Honey Badger Likes!

Latest cartoon for Sharon O Malley. With summer comes higher energy usage due to running the air conditioner. Awnings and honey comb shades can help to keep you cool, and reduce your bill.
I was very pleased with how this came out, and I really like the look on the house's face, kind of wistful.

New bumper sticker

I think I truly captured the re-election spirit of this year's campaign.

E-Book cartoons

I have been busy for the past few weeks illustrating business cartoons for some e-books.
Great client, that gives me complete freedom to just create what I think will carry their ideas.
A few samples:

Farm Gate to Dinner Plate

These are characters I created and animated for the OnTrace Verified Network presentation.

The Future is CLUCKED!

Artwork from a game I am illustrating. In the future, there will be no more hot wings!
