The Macho Man

... Randy Savage.

I admit it. Back in the day I loved wrestling. Savage was pretty cool but never really my favorite. Anyway, he died last week after wrecking his car while apparently having a heart attack.

I did this just cuz...

It should be noted that I referenced a photo on the web for this but have no idea who took the original picture. If anyone knows please feel free to let me know so I can properly credit them.

Life in the Woods

I'm reading Doc Meldrums book Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. It's a really compelling and interesting read.

I tend to agree with Dr. Meldrum when he says that while he does not necessarily believe in the existence of bigfoot, there is enough evidence out there of it's possible existence to warrant further exploration.

I included a couple things in this image largely associated with the bigfoot phenomena. The branch "Squatchy" is dropping with it's right hand is associated with the reported "wood knocking". It's believed that this may be a method for long range communication/location of other Squatchys. This is a behavior associated with some primate species.

The other is the the rock it's picking up with it's left hand; reports have campers and hikers, etc. having rocks, pine cones and other sundries lobbed at them by unseen forces. This is also a behavior associated with some primate species.

F.Y.I. - a commission of this sort (minus the copy, since that bit was done digitally) would be $50.00

Another Day In Paradise

Another in a series. I had a story idea for these revolving around various devils and/or demons (from a variety of world religions, both past and present) interacting with random, regular people in todays world. The stories were set from the 50's all the way up to the present day.

Anyway, this little cover mock-up was fun to do.

Portrait Commission

Done for a client who wanted to present the drawing of their kids to his wife for mothers day. I also made it into a greeting card so he and his kids could sign it and present that to her as well.
He seemed to love it when I presented it to him. I'd really like to know what his wife thought of it...

Pencils and Weirdness

Something I blue-lined out while laying in bed last night. In between some other work today I found a couple hours to throw down with some clean pencils.

I still haven't found that sweet-spot for scanning pencils where they come out looking as clean as they do on the page. Also I loose a little bit of the finer details when I scan them like this.
