All of my drawings have a backstory, at least in my mind. That is how I create. A little story pops up, and various characters then inhabit that scene. I have no idea why this butterfly is in such a sour mood. I thought about it for a while after drawing his little angry face and I just couldn't think of exactly who wronged him. My only guess is that he was living a pleasant life as a caterpillar and had a nice warm cocoon with great WiFi and then he became this beautiful, albeit extremely fragile butterfly. Just out there flapping in the wind, being all "Hey, look how pretty and possibly delicious I look." Something in that transformation rubbed him wrong, and he's not ready to forgive nature or any of its inhabitants for crossing him.
SIR RAMSALOT
Sir Ramsalot knew that the quest ahead would be full of vicious beasts to slay, iconic titans to thwart, and various ghoulish sages and witches to outwit. Good thing his swift-footed squire Saganboi was at his side. They say that every journey begins with the first step, and they were both thinking that the first step in this particular journey should be toward the Inn for some snacks and warm mead.
ROAD RAGE CATFISH
I witnessed a road rage incident in front of me on Damen last week.
Lady in fancy car was trying to skip the line, then got caught behind a delivery truck and no one would let her in. She lost her mind honking and trying to cut in and a guy hung out the passenger window of a car in a threating manor waving his arms all around crazy like. That seemed to calm her down and as I passed, I couldn't help but think she appeared to be a very angry catfish. Huge angry eyes and pursed lips, cowering in both fear and rage.
Anyway, it's nice out today, enjoy it.
FALLOUT
I think Sagan and I would be okay the irradiated wastelands of the Fallout universe. His friendly yet fierce disposition would allow us to befriend some ghouls for protection. We named this feral ghoul Copernicus.

GIRLS AND PETS II
What kind of strange pet would you have if it wasn't cruel or illegal or weird to own a crazy pet? I'd of course, have a Komodo Dragon and a bucket full of weird giant salamanders slipping around...
THE CROW REMAKE
Tell me you wouldn't watch The Platypus go ham on some stereotypical inner-city thuggery... Perhaps clacking his bill with a deep and scary reverb in a dank run down factory, giant fan blades churning impossibly slowly in the foggy background as he brandishes acid filled eggs from his marsupial ninja pouch before delivering a cleaver pun along with his a coup de gras...
