“Trick ‘R Treat Yo’ Self!” Being a fan of the TV show, “Parks and Recreation” I was tempted to draw the characters from the show from whom this paraphrasing was taken, but I decided to do a compilation of the 30 other drawings from this year’s month-long drawing challenge. That […]

“Build-A-Beast” Using my ultimate pen to pen the penultimate day of Drawlloween 2018. The prompt of Build-A-Beast, based on—presumably—Build-A-Bear Workshop, led me down the usual road of using a bevy of “Beast” characters from pop culture comics and animation. In this case: Beast from the Marvel Comics team, The X-Men; […]
“Scarecrow Records” Unsure of the origin of this pun (is it like Death Row Records?) I showed my age and used an actual LP record instead of other interpretations of the word. I also made a record label logo to put on it. The results are supposed to show an […]
“The Curious Cabinet of Mr. Calimari” Today’s title refers to the silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” so I guess that is why the similar-sounding “calamari” is spelled wrong. (I don’t know why “automaton” was spelled wrong on day 25 though, so it may just be the list maker […]
“Frankenstein’s Other Creation” For today’s challenge, I unwisely got way too complicated and decided to not only replace the usual Universal classic movie version of the Bride of Frankenstein with the character “Frankenhooker” from the 1990 camp classic of the same name, but I also wanted to have the monster […]
“Interview With a Chupacabra” My newspaper cartoon deadline day doesn’t let me get much other drawing done, so I was late in the day creating my illustration for this Anne Rice-sounding prompt. I chose Charlie Rose for the interviewer because his set is spookiest and easiest to draw. I also […]
“Charlie and the Self-Aware Automaton Factory” I almost didn’t get this one done today, but here it is in the evening. What if those Oompa-Loompas weren’t really just weird, human slaves, but self-aware automatons? I think all those “accidents” could be explained by the human0-exterminating O.L. A.I. Day 25 #drawlloween2018 is #charlieandtheselfawareautomatonfactory#drawlloween#oompaloomas#charliebucket#grandpajoe#wonka
“Bigfoot: Lost in Manhattan” I really need to prepare for a caricature gig for tonight, but luckily, my decision to “ape” the post for Woody Allen’s movie, “Manhattan” made it easier to get the challenge done today, since drawing silhouettes is easier than doing all the details of things in […]
“Race You To Dead Man’s Curve!” Trying to think of a dark, scary Halloween take on this, but also adding some humor, posed a problem. I thought of having the curve made of an actual dead man, but then the racers would have to be something so small that a […]
“A Troll to Remember” All I could think of, was there was a movie called “A Night to Remember”, which was about the Titanic, so I basically used the main couple from that movie poster and used a troll instead of the male. I put them under his bridge, as […]
