The Chad Frye - Illustration GuyJust 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. I feel very badly for the fella it is sitting on.
I believe the children are our future. Teach them well, and let them lead the way.
This was just a strange ink drawing from my sketchbook that felt like it needed to be colored. So, into Photoshop it went where I pushed the “automatic color” button. (cough cough)
Let me tell you from experience, you do NOT want to be around this guy when he has allergies. It snot pretty.
(Yeah, I went there.)
You know what they say: “Never ever get between a mama bear alien and her cubs.”
This, most definitely, is the astronaut’s final frontier.
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 the postal system. He would have been warmer had he been enclosed inside the envelope.
Today’s monster comes from the world of fairy tales. The Big Bad Wolf huffs and puffs his way into Monster Month from a page in my sketchbook, featuring a cameo appearance of the three little pigs’ derrières.
Some faces are such that only a mother could love. While there is little evidence to confirm this, we like to think that Igor’s mother truly loved his face. However, judging by his willingness to serve Dr. Frankenstein with the doctor’s hideous experiments, love may not have been a part of Igor’s early years. Perhaps he stole brains and dug up dead bodies under the cover of night all in the hopes of getting the parental acceptance he so longed for that was deprived of him during his childhood.
Yet, in all the sadness that he must have felt inside, Igor remained a positive person, always ready to lend, or dig up, a hand with a smile on his face. If only we could all be more like Igor.
Now what artist doesn’t welcome the chance to create something wondrous from observing a beautiful live model? Art history is filled with amazing masterpieces of those who have gone on before us who utilized models in their work such as da Vinci, Rembrandt, and believe it or not, Picasso. However, there are also those who pretend to be artists just so that they can spend time with a pretty model. These are truly monsters.
This actually is a drawing I did for my nephew who has an interest in art. I gave him his own sketchbook this year with this as the first drawing in it to help get him started. I’m sure he’ll have fun letting his imagination go wild!
