"I want to eat a swan. Is that wrong of me? I can't find anyone who'll sell me a swanburger." - Spider Jerusalem

I'd like to preface this with an apology for the low quality pictures of my drawings. My old scanner's been busted for months, and I had to resort to taking pictures with my digital camera. I've since obtained a new scanner, and will be using it for any new drawings I come up with.

I've recently come into possession of the first two volumes of Moore's run of Swamp-Thing. While I think Man-Thing has a more striking appearance (at least when handled by a competent artist), Swamp-Thing has some pretty great stories. Done at work with ballpoint pen on an index card.






Another ballpoint drawing done at the learning center. I've been trying to get back into playing Street Fighter 4 online, but can't seem to find anyone who uses a fighter that ISN'T Ryu or Akuma. The Akuma players seem to be more prevalent, not to mention cheap. After reading some of the messages that were typed out to me on PSN, I've come to the conclusion that these people are a genetic dead end. Please don't let them breed. Allow them to live freely in their basements, lording over fake fighting tournaments, and cupping their own buttocks to eke out some semblance of what a woman's breast feels like...oh yeah, I gave Akuma braces. Thought it'd be funny.

Ed! From Cowboy Bebop! I messed up her foot and the placement of the dog! Ballpoint pen, index card, and one of the few anime series that truly warrants viewing.








Everyone's favorite shambling mass of plant matter and empathy, Man-Thing. Tried to use my new prismacolors. Still trying to get my groove back with them.








The Goon. Please forgive the horribly misshapen lumps of flesh that I'm attempting to pass off as arms. Same goes for the gun. I can never seem to draw those.








A munny doll of my old boss. I made this as a retirement gift, and he seemed to dig it. Word to the wise, when spraying a sealant on a munny doll, go for the matte finish. The shine on this one was fierce.

Here's a Trikky I did with sharpie. I actually did this to drum up interest among my students for a future art unit using Munny dolls. They dug the little guy.

Ballpoint pen. Done at work. Heard that phrase in a Love and Rockets comic, and it stuck.


Two of my Munny dolls in progress. At work. Honestly, this is why I hate being an instructional aide. They need to give me an actual class to run.


Here's my Bub after being sprayed with a coat of clear acrylic. Protip: out of newspapers? Use outdated resumes!


Finished product. I call him "Archibald P. Maulington". He's a well-to-do grizzly about town.


This is the ultra-rare "missing hat" variant. Worth way too much on the collector's market.


I recently bought a Marvel Legends figure of Man-Thing. I think posing him has become my new pass-time. Look! He's already made a friend.


"Jazz hands!" Oh, Man-Thing, you're the living end.


I take it back. Man-Thing's kind of a jerk.


"You see this guy? Freakin' love this guy."


I've wanted to mention my vinyl pieces for a while now. In an attempt to buy my affection, the girlfriend gifted unto me this beautiful piece of urban vinyl. Knucklebear's 18 inches tall, limited to under 500 copies, and came with a certificate of authenticity and a print. This thing is purty (like a girl).


D'aww. He takes after me.


Another vinyl piece. Not a HUGE fan of Qee stuff, but I'll be damned if Frank Kozik isn't the bee's knees. I got a good deal on him, but not good enough to admit it's price to my family and significant other.

A hideously deformed post of superhuman size and strength!

Step the first: Sculpey was used to give Toxie his lumpy visage. I actually baked it twice, because I went back and added small bumps. See how that one over his left eye kinda looks like a boob?

Step B: The initial paint job didn't come out well. The green was way too green. He ended up looking like The Hulk if he were in a grease fire. I still had a lot of work to do.

3rd step: I decided to toy with the idea of watering down a mix of brown, yellow, and white acrylic to coat Toxie's skin. This picture shows him after about two coats and some time under a hair dryer. Still a bit too green...


Step IV: After getting his skin to make the color of the water you find at the bottom of a trash can, I set about painting the details. Black lines were used to make the lumps "pop" a bit more. I also gave Toxie his trademark tutu and mop.

My buddy Renzo works for Troma films, and was nice enough to pass my munny onto Lloyd Kaufman. He even took a picture of him holding the little guy. Sadly, as I refuse to do anything with even a shred of expedience, I have lost that picture. I emailed it to myself from my phone MONTHS ago...and it was erased along with a clump of spam. FFFFFFF....

Walking Potion: ten parts sugar, ninety parts whiskey

Step 1: Intimidate munny doll. Make sure it knows who's boss.

Step 2-probably somewhere in the double digits: wash munny with soapy water, paint with watered-down acrylic, burn the hair off your arm with a hair dryer several times, fumble with sculpey clay before half-assing the hair, bake at 270 for 15 minutes, then take a sharpie to it

Finishing touches: paint hair, add accessories, and put blush on DEM CHEEKS. Package in a custom box and score brownie points.

Did this one last year, kinda partial to him despite the hack paint job.
My job asked me to paint some stuff on the walls, to decorate the classrooms and stuff. This one is Edgar Allen Poe, and it's in the English room. Meh.

Einstein. Science/math room.
