I have to admit, I wasn’t sure who Toby Jones was, when I saw today’s assigned celebrity caricature. Once I looked up his IMDB credits, I realized I had seen him in many films, but didn’t know his name. I was just going to go with a simple, black and […]

As was the case in 2018 and 2019, the local alt-weekly paper in Asheville, The Mountain Xpress, expressed a desire for me to once again create a local-themed cover illustration for what has become an annual “humor” issue for the paper. The centerpiece was decided to be the nearly 100 […]
Day 13 is Emma Watson, and I had to go with another comic book character. Drawing her as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, or at least as Hermione Granger, the teenage witch student at Hogwarts.
“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; […]
A recent Twitter tweet about a Facebook post about making fun of the evergreen topic about current residents complaining about how Asheville isn’t like it used to be, caused me to remember a cartoon I did on the very same subject, and that caused me to realize that said cartoon […]
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 30 is: CAULDRON CRONES The penultimate day of Drawlloween brings us a prompt of wizened old witches tending to their malevolent brew. Keeping with the contrary way I’ve been going with these prompts, I went for the opposite of crones, and found three comely cauldron keepers […]
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 28 is: GHOULS RUSH IN Other great pun prompt, but I was just not in the mood to draw some generic “ghoul” and so I went to the original term origin in Arabic, which was “ghul”. That reminded me that the DC Comics villain, Ra’s Al […]
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 24 is: AW, HEX Going as literal as possible, once again, I immediately thought of DC Comics’ own weird western star, Jonah Hex. However, to keep the Halloween witchcraft theme that was surely intended, I added an appropriate DC occult character to be hexing him. In […]
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 18 is: CRYPT CREEPS Having already come up with similar themes for “Return from the Dead” and “Tombsday” already this year, it was difficult to be too original with the crypt creeps prompt. I knew the obvious one would be the “Crypt-Keeper” but I tried to […]
Drawlloween 2017: Day 11 is: SWAMP CITIZENS Since I don’t like to repeat either styles or characters too much in these challenges, I was hesitant to do another Berni Wrightson Swamp Thing homage, but since I only did his style on Day 1 this year, and I did Swamp Thing in […]
