  • 2016 Monster Month: Day 20 – Dangerous Proposal

    Ah, young hipsters in love. However, it looks like they picked the wrong tree under which to plan for the future. Talk about your short-term commitments!

  • 2016 Monster Month: Day 19 – Evil Incarnate

    Just look at this hideous creature, leering out at whatever passes by wishing for its horrific and untimely death, sniffing the air with unwarranted superiority, and tasting the warm ruby blood of its otherworldly desires in the back of its putrid hollow soul.

  • 2016 Monster Month: Day 14 – Sketchy Characters

    Earlier this month I shared with you a page from my sketchbook, which is where most of my monsters have their beginning (and sometimes their finish). You all enjoyed that previous post so much (CLICK HERE to see it again) that it seemed like maybe you would enjoy another page. Well, here it is. There…

  • 2016 Monster Month: Day 13 – Scared Stiff

    If you get scared stiff by this monster, double-check to make sure you aren’t actually just stiff from the cold because he isn’t particularly scary. However, it is a little unnerving to see him shake a bit from the frigid temperatures. This was just an ink sketch on the back of an envelope that travelled through…
