Robot Monster

Another Sketch Daily sketch.  The topic was Robot monster and when I looked it up this fantastic monster form a 50's b movie came up and I had to draw it.  Enjoy.

Ursula

Started tweeting with sketch dailies.  I'm having a good time with it.  This one is Ursula (hopefully that's obvious.  Can't wait to do more.  Enjoy.

Dia De Los Muertos 2

Dia De Los Muertos

I have been playing around for a while with some Mexican Day of the Dead guys, coming up with a story line and flushing out characters- going to post a few of them here- Enjoy!

K is for King Kong

I actually did this one a few months ago for the ABC book- it is being reviewed by publishers right now and while that is happening I am putting together a dummy book for another one that I have written- keeping that one under my hat for now!  Enjoy!

Giraffe

Sorry for the quality of the image, I took a photo of this awesome giraffe I did for my sister a couple of years ago!  It is hard to tell, but all of those leaves and the sun, grass, etc are cut outs and the giraffe itself is my pencil work with a painted background.  Enjoy!

Sketchin in the ol' sketchbook!

Just something from my sketchbook.  Enjoy!

F is for Frankenstein

As if there was another monster I would pick for F.  Enjoy.

E is for Ectoplasm

I had a hard time coming up with E.  There were quite a few options, but nothing that really stuck with me.  Then my brother mentioned E could be for Ectoplasm.  And even though Ectoplasm isn't technically a monster it had the feel that I was looking for.  I also wanted to draw my daughter covered in blue slime.  Enjoy.

Skeleton Face

Character Sketch

Just a random character sketch from sunday.  Enjoy.

Turtle Sketch

Another sketch from my sketchbook.  Enjoy.

Wolf sketchbook

Just a drawing in the sketchbook.  Enjoy.

D is for Dragon

Here's the fourth one in the series.  My wife told me I should put some of our other kids in the book as well and not just the youngest.  Sounded like a fine idea to me so now my daughter is getting eaten by a dragon.  Any ideas for E?  I've got a few but I'm still open to suggestions.  Enjoy.

C is for Cthulhu

It took way too long to get this one done.  Hopefully I can move more quickly through the rest.  Enjoy.

Random Sketch

Just a random sketch from the sketch book.  Sometimes I just start playing around with lines and shapes with no clear goal in sight.  This one turned out particularly nice.  Enjoy.

Tiger #3

It's taken me too long to get to these.  Here's another tiger.  I've got plenty more rough sketches to clean up and I should be able to put more up here.  For now you get this.  enjoy.

B is for the Blob

Here's page 2 in my sons new monster ABC book.  B was a tough one, there were quite a few options to choose from, Blob(obviously) Bigfoot, Boogeyman, Bride of Frankenstein, etc.  Blob was the one I wanted to do most howeer.  Next up CTHULHU!  Enjoy.

A is for Arachnid

We just had a new baby boy born into our family a little over two weeks ago.  It's so fun having a new baby around.  I decided I wanted to make a little book for him, and subsequently have some art we can hang in his room (when he get's one).  I've been toying with the idea of an ABC book for awhile.  the whole idea is intriguing to me.  to take each letter of the alphabet and have a unique illustration for it.  I've always been into monsters and this seemed like a fun chance.  this is the first one I did.  A is for Arachnid.  Hopefully I will have plenty more of these coming up.  I've managed to find a monster that matches most letters in the alphabet but there are a few that are stumping me.  If anyone has any specific ideas feel free to share.  enjoy.

Stretching Tiger

Here's another tiger sketch.  I tried to push the pose on this one and really stretch the forms.  I need to work on posing my drawings a bit better, it helps sell the story of who this character is.  enjoy.
