Coloring page of Gene Rayburn!!!

Warmer days...sigh...

Have I mentioned that I love drawing Freddy Krueger..?

Well, I do. Here is a recent stab (hahaha) at this beloved subject.

I recently added handmade "magic" wands to my convention and craft show offerings, as well as continuing to add more and more sketch cards. The wands are fun to make and seem to be popular, so I look forward to offering them for the first time this spring at MSP Spring Con!

HOOOOOGANNN!!!!!

My first time drawing Bob Crane as Col Hogan turned out much better than hoped. Love that Hogan's Heroes!

Sketch cards as gifts!!!

Here are a few sketch cards I made for my dad on my recent visit with him in Arizona. I delved back into the world of bird drawing, and also drew my take on a photo of us at Old Tucson Studios. I started putting my sketch cards in magnetic sleeves, so as to make them more "useful"!

And now for something completely different...

Here is the rare nature study which I am hoping eventually becomes less rare.

Rob Zombie ink drawing

This is an ink drawing I did a few years back that I am still happy with. I love learning to control the brush pen with more subtle variations in line quality.

buzzzzzzzzzzz.....

I could draw Leatherface all day long....

clay tribute to one of my favorite artists

This is a Super Sculpey clay bust I made of Hellboy, trying to capture as best I can the style of Mike Mignola's art style. I feel it is pretty successful in that regard, and it has gotten me excited to make more busts in the style of different artists.

Rob Zombie black light poster art

So, here is a trippy ink drawing I made that has yet to be colored. I just may print it up as a coloring page. Who knows? I do need a black light, though....

"This job would be great..."

Guillermo del Toro and friends

This is an illustration I made after attending an artist talk at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Guillermo del Toro was speaking about his influences and passions, and during the Q and A at the end of the talk, he answered a question I had submitted regarding who his first imaginary monster friend was as a child. He answered the Frankenstein creation and the Creature form the Black Lagoon. He then added that they were still friends, and that only served to endear him to me further. So, I had to draw this image I had in my head.

Karma...

Here is a sketch card I made that I feel captures one of my favorite television characters, Earl Hickey from My Name Is Earl, quite faithfully. I also made one of his brother, Randy, and shall upload that one soon.

Prince sketch card

This is one of two sketch cards I drew shortly after his passing. A very minor tribute to a very talented artist.

I love making clay figurines. I love Bob's Burgers. So, naturally...

These were made a few years back, but still stand out as some of my favorite custom work I have ever produced for a customer. Now, I just need to finally make a set for myself.

I just can't resist drawing him...

I have never drawn political cartoons, but I have a feeling the current POTUS may just pop up frequently in my sketchbooks. He is like a Spitting Image puppet come to life.

MSP Comicon 2015 (SpringCon 2015) is another wonderful success!

So, this weekend was another great convention experience at the St Paul State Fairgrounds! I met so many great new friends, and had a blast hanging out with old ones. Saturday was quite busy, and I enjoyed seeing a lot of people stopping at my table. I sold quite a bit, including stuff to returning customers. I love seeing people come back and tell me they sought out my table. It's really humbling and makes creating all worth it. One of my favorite transactions was a couple who had previously bought some clay Hellboy and Cthulhu items from me, and brought home a Hellboy bust and Right Hand of Doom of mine this time around. I also donated my favorite bust I've ever made to the benefit auction today (pictured below), and while it sold for a low price, I was more than happy that a little girl apparently bought it and loved it. So, that made me extremely happy! Very cool! I also LOVE seeing all the great cosplayers who put in so much time and talent into making some truly cool costumes. One of my favorites this year, a shockingly accurate Goon, is pictured here. He is really inspiring me to make my comic book version Hellboy costume so we can have a real life Dark Horse team up! Anyway, I am so grateful for all the great people who made this past few days so memorable and fun!

Calvin and Hobbes in Super Sculpey!!!

So, here is a sculpture I made for my sister some years back, based on one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes snowman strips. I have been asked if I would make more to sell, and oddly enough, I had been getting the itch to make more. So, why not..?!

Sketch cards for SpringCon!!!

So, here is a selection of the sketch cards I will be selling at my table at SpringCon this weekend.
