MONSTER MONTH: Day 24 – Dandelion Dragon

No 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…

MONSTER MONTH: Day 22 – Big Mouth

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…

MONSTER MONTH: Day 17 – Goat Guy

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…
