Another monster has invaded my sketchbook, probing its pages for cattle to mutilate. Next it’ll start drawing crop circles on the blank pages. Good times.

Just doodling around the other day, and this creature spilled forth. Things took an ugly turn when I decided what to have him chomping on.
Truly monstrous.
“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.“
– Paulo Coelho (1947 – present)
I don’t know. Sometimes it is just fun to pair an inspirational quote with an image that one might not initially think should go together. Or maybe they DO go together!
Perhaps the average hitman has dreams of being at the top of his game, right? Or maybe he has an unfulfilled aspiration to leave his dirty work behind and become a primo ballerino. Who knows?
Whatever YOU choose in life, knock ’em dead! (Figuratively speaking if you are not a hitman.)
Last week an old friend of mine from college shot me an e-mail surprising me with the news that she was in town with her family, so we made plans for me to show the six of them around the Warner Bros. studio where I now work.
The night before, her husband let me know that the day we’d be together was her birthday! So, with not much warning, I made this card for her the night before. After 26 years, it was a sweet reunion.
Dragons never seem to have to search for a match to light a birthday candle.

Felt like it was time for some bears to visit ol’ Chad’s sketchbook again. Here’s a recent page of inked bruins that came by way of a brush pen. I’d keep those fingers away from their mouths if I was you.
Incidentally, I hear Christopher Robin only has one bear in his posse. Amateur.

Not sure I’d be able to trust the intentions of a waiter with that many teeth and that eager to serve me.
Perhaps it’s just me, but I thought the two T-Rexes in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom looked super fake. See for yourself…
In actuality, the dinosaur behind me made an appearance in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure many years ago. It is one of the Cabazon Dinosaurs out by Palm Springs which is part of a creation museum. If you go there, tell ’em Large Marge sent you.
I got to thinking about how silly that ol’ photo was, that another silly dino joke came to mind, so I sketched it up when there was a little window of free time.
Yep. Today is the good ol’ Fourth of July. I put that in caps because around these parts, that’s not just a date – it’s also the secondary name we Americans call Independence Day. We pinpoint our official beginning as a new nation on July 4, 1776, since that is when our Declaration of Independence from King George of England was signed.
I was sketching the other day, and this bold eagle came forth. It being our national bird, it seemed like the right time of year to put our flag behind him. Not sure how he rolled up his “sleeve” to get busy defendin’ & workin’, but that’s how red-blooded Americans have always been.
To my fellow Americans, enjoy the celebration today. And to my English friends, thanks for sharing the colors red, white, and blue.
