Happy Halloween

It’s been a few minutes since I last did a series of Monster Month posts here on the ol’ blog. Just been too busy with actual work the past couple of years to take the time to post a monster each day in October.

That being said, I didn’t want to let October 31st to go by without at least one monster post. And who better to depict than that granddaddy of all monsters, Frankenstein’s monster. (I’ve drawn him more than once in the past.)

So, here’s an ink and gouache sketch I did this week in my sketchbook. Don’t eat too much candy tonight.

 

This Frankie most certainly hates fire since he was created on paper.

Faceless Faces

I miss the days of passing time in airports being able to draw all the interesting faces I would see from around the world. One can only wonder what everyone is hiding from view today.

 

The eyes have it.

 

Thanks. Thanks a LOT Rona.

Green Guy

Netflix’s Green Eggs & Ham show continues to be enjoyed by viewers all over the world. It has been fun seeing all the fan art on the web by those who love the show. Netflix announced a second season which I know the crew over at Warner Bros. TV Animation has been busy working on. How do I know? I worked on season 2!

Specifically, I worked on storyboards for the second season, which I wrapped on last year. These were some of my character study sketches for the character of Guy Am I (Sam I Am’s buddy voiced with perfect grumpiness by Michael Douglas) that I drew to get used to the style and feel of the show.

 

Go green.

 

I don’t know when season 2 will sizzle from the pan for you all, but I’m excited to see everyone’s efforts just as much as you are!

By the way, if you’d like to see more of my GEAH art here on the ol’ blog, CLICK HERE!

Pirate Dog

You know what today is, don’t you? That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite quasi-holiday “Talk Like a Pirate Day!” Arrrr.

So, of course the ol’ blog must feature a pirate today. And a dog. A pirate dog. A pirate dog munching on a bone. A pirate dog munching on the forearm bone of a human.  Gross.

 

Even the dog talks like a pirate, “Baaaaaark.”

Baseball Bear

It’s Labor Day here in the States, which is our fall holiday where normally folks celebrate with picnics, time spent together at parks, and maybe get together for a baseball game. Not sure how much of that is happening this year, but it’s nice to think about more carefree days of the past.

 

Nice to see a baseball bat used as intended at a park as opposed to how it has been used lately by “peaceful protesters.”

Pastry Chefs

Anyone up for a little cake?

 

I think it’s required that pastry chefs have mustaches.
