The Chad Frye - Illustration GuyNo matter how big or small, or how young or old, who can resist the alluring siren call of the fuzzy dandelion? Not this dragon. Fuzzy dandelions MUST be blown to spread their seeds of joy so that others may one day have that opportunity to exercise their childlike wonder and whimsy. And also so that gardening shops can sell lots of weed killer.
Today is the grand unveiling of the winner of the Cartoon Caption Contest that has been taking place over on the Chad Frye • Illustration Guy Fan Page on Facebook over the past two weeks. Many folks submitted their ideas for what this illustration could be saying, I chose 5 of the best, and then left it up to the fans to vote for which one should win!
Congratulations to Charlie Eldred for his winning caption! To the other four finalists, Robert Bowman, Edward Murphy, Preston Jones and Matthew Schnittker, thank you for your great contributions!
Charlie has won a nice print of this drawing with his own caption that includes a sketch on it by me, along with a signed copy of my children’s book Jonah and the Very Big Fish.
Thank you to all who participated. Come join the Fan Page where other contests will be held in the future!
This little furry guy started as a sketch in one of my sketchbooks a couple of years ago. I decided to resurrect him and flesh him out a bit more into a fun, furry, happy-go-lucky monster!
Big Mouth has a certain sweet innocence about him, but with a mouth like that, he can swallow you whole. His naivetè makes him not realize doing that is a bad thing.
TOMORROW I will be revealing here on the blog the winning entry in my latest Cartoon Caption Contest that has been taking place on the Chad Frye • Illustration Guy Fan Page over on Facebook for the past two weeks! And yes, it is also of the monster persuasion!

I know, I know. The name of this little guy sounds a bit sappy, but isn’t he the cutest little thing! That’s his charm. Found in nature, he lures you in with his adorableness by purring and batting his baby blues, and then he goes in for the vicious, bloody kill. Lousy nature.
It is not uncommon for colleagues to get together for lunch now and then to discuss business and maintain relationships within the professional field. These get-togethers can be invaluable for future dealings in one’s business, and they build trust. At the end of lunch, there can be little that is more embarrassing than returning to the office with a little food visibly stuck in your teeth. It is a trustworthy colleague indeed, who won’t let you leave the table without letting you know you need a toothpick.
That’s “Wonder” as in “I wonder what that thing could possibly be?”
Well, whatever it is, it sure is red, it looks a little ornery, and it’s wearing a blue cape. All I can say is that you go say “hi” first.
And if you have been keeping track of the Monster Cartoon Caption Contest over on the Chad Frye • Illustration Guy Fan Page on Facebook, you might like to know that five captions have been chosen out of all the entries and are now ready for your votes! CLICK HERE to go to the page and place your vote for your favorite! The winner is completely determined by your votes, and will be announced right here on the blog on Friday!
…we ALL scream about how this monster got his ice cream!
Well, the Good Humor man has had better days than this. Lesson learned – don’t get in the way of a monster and his ice cream! Well, that and it’s probably a good idea to finish college so you can get a desk job.
Today’s monster comes in the form of a creepy, elderly, wizened goat guy. Anytime you see some squinty eyes and a Fu Manchu dangling from a dude’s chin, pay close attention to whatever comes out of his mouth. Those are sure outward signs that he is full of wisdom. And if he has a cool looking cane, also show some respect lest he rap you on the head with it.
