missing bear baby.

here is my painting for today!


for some reason it took me longer to decide what to paint that it did to actually paint it. i think i’ve overhauled my mind in this weeks illustration frenzy.

but while i was trying to decide on a subject matter, i threw together this little pattern. with a little nod to alice in wonderland.


the catfish seamonster.

i’ve been working really hard lately trying to get some new pieces in my portfolio. it’s making me pretty frazzled to be honest. my eyes are killing me. but!!! i did start and finish these guys today. some sort of wilderness man hunting a catfish sea monster. i don’t know….

new identities.

i’ve been working on a bit of a re-brand for myself as an illustrator. it’s slow and steady work. but coming along. this weekend i redesigned my info cards, a way to show my portfolio, and the more boring stuff like invoice forms and letterheads. i like the way they are coming around. it looks so much better when everything is cohesive.

here’s the information card.

a few pages from the portfolio.

and the ever fun invoice form.

the images words.

5 am and no sleep yet.

13 pints of grain alcohol combined with half a table spoon of novocain. the morning news is played in the note of G while the anti-caffeine is served in test tubes.

12 hours in the past the season ended and there was a 90% chance of rain.

23.5 squirrels stopped the assembly line and started the toxic decent into hibernation.

7:15 am and half the population is down.

the images words.

the voodoo king.

never fall in love with a voodoo king.

the first week charms with gasoline breath and mice skulls in your freezer. rope burn mornings. pins and needles up your spine.

eventually the vacant eyes are overbearing and the swamp follows you home.

broken fiddle strings and red roses cover the floor. the smell of mud creeps though the walls and you wake up with needles in your heart and your fingernails missing.
