Last week I saw some birds in the gas station parking lot having a meeting. One in particular was definitely the key-note speaker.
RACING INTO 2025
New Coma EP, more illustration/animation work, finishing a few book related projects, not sucking at Ableton, running. Also, soooo much fun reading/learnings in Earth history geology, paleontology, and biology. And, of course... cats with Kendra
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
BIG ADVENTURES
Haven't been drawing for fun much lately, I'm going to try and sneak back into it. I have been doing some test concept-art stuff for a few books and these little backgrounds are helping me refine the vision.
RETRO AD
Here's a little broccoli ad I did for that travel mag that had the Dress Nicole paper-doll page.
THEATER CLUB
Stressful days need some levity and cheer. I'm going to post some drawings today in case any of you need a few smiles. Stay positive team.
- Sure the pond had it's jocks and stoners, it's lily-pad-mall-girls and face painted Frogallos, but it was the theatre club that really set it apart from the other lagoons and estuaries in the region.
PAPER DOLL
The very talented Brock and Kendra made an amazing book for Nicole's birthday. It was a little travel magazine for their European trip. I added some silly ads, a funnies page, and the usual Jay-type stuff like that. I also did this little paper doll page.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN I
MUMMY WRAP
It was late on a Friday afternoon and Mummy Wrappers Inc had been wrapping an endless succession of bodies all damn week. There were like 2 left before everyone was meeting down at the 'Debonair Sphinx Club' and word was out that a few of the Anubises were going to be there barking stories and looking in one direction profile for a long time. They were probably like, "Girls, let's just get this last one done quick and get our weekend started?"
I wouldn't blame them.
FRIENDS?
This one started as another spooky-Halloweenie terrifying drawing like I've posted all month. But by the time I went to 'save' I just called it 'SusCat_SusRat_1' (implying there may be more Sus[creature] in the future I guess? Anyway, they both seem a little tired with the fighting and the biting and flipping and tossing around. They both feel like they'd rather just put on 'The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' TV special and share some tuna steaks.
FAST LIVIN
AFTER A LONG DAY
This is the time of year where getting home after being out all day is so pleasing. Warm up some soup, pop off your head...
GHOSTS
I've always thought about how much agency a specter would have over their situation and motor operations...
Think of all the underwater ghosts there is going to be in Florida and other coastal cites/towns in a 100 years... hmmm...
HUMANPOP
(In pompous British accent): "One... two... *CRUNCH*... three..."
CREEPY VAN
What candy would have gotten you as a kid? For me it would have been Bonkers or grape ZOTS...
THE REAL BATMOBILE
I couldn't help but see that the reviews for the new Joker were terrible. Fortunately, I've preemptively sheltered myself from the pain and anguish you all are suffering by never watching any superhero movies at all. That being said, I do enjoy the artistry of comic books and I remember pondering the various designs of the Batmobile as a kid. I feel like this design here is far superior in both utility and aesthetics. There is only 1 BatMAN, but plenty of bats that could use a 'mobile' to cruise around in. It's simple math.
4 OUT OF 5 JAYS
Here is a little ad I made for a good friends magazine.
RAVENS
Spooky arts are one of my favorite kinds...
BEAST
Even hideously scary beasts from beyond were little pips at one time or another. Fortunately, Maribelle had access to large quantities of sour meats and industrial larvas, and man did it work. Beast grew up so fast she could hardly keep his Insta updated for all his fans.
SPOOKY HOUSE
It's time, spooky drawings here out for the next month.
