A Thanksgiving Tradition: My life through illustration

These are a pair of turkey salt and pepper shakers that my family has had for as long as I can remember. I believe I was five years old when I named them "Gobel" and "Stobel" respectively. I was also five years old the first time I decided to draw them. Since then, it's become somewhat of a Thanksgiving tradition for me to re-illustrate this pair every few years. Behold my ever evolving (or devolving?) turkey cartooning skills:

The Li'l Sketchbook - Part 1

This is a tiny 4 1/2"x 3 1/4" memo notebook (affectionately dubbed "Li'l Sketchbook") that I decided to start carrying around with me and filling up with nonsense from my brain whenever I feel like it. Sometimes a guy just has the urge to draw a bunch of ducks, a honky-tonk robot, a diaper-clad monkey, and maybe even a gentleman zombie or two. Am I right, fellas? So I'm pretty much keeping a diary of my thoughts, without all the frilly words and pensive brooding.























The book is 160 pages, so I'll keep uploading my "entries" a little at a time.

I don't usually draw in this style, but it's good to try new things, right?

Monstrous Pencil Sketches

Wolfman, Frankenstein, and The Phantom of the Opera. These are all pencil sketches and I just changed the color saturation in photoshop. Yes, they are a little scary so if you are under the age of 13, avert your eyes!
