Retro Iron Man!

I drew this Iron Man awhile back, but I came across it the other day and thought it might look cool in color. So here you go. 

This 70's Iron Man armor has always been my favorite. Whenever I see an old comic with Iron Man in that costume, you can bet I'll be picking it up.

Spider-Man Gets Fooled!

The idea for this struck me last night as I was about to go to sleep, and my own sheer stupidity got me laughing for awhile. I mean, The Lizard has all the abilities of a reptile, right?  I would hope that this would also include your average garden-variety of lizard's most endearing quality that we all discovered as kids: the classic tail decoy.

I hope he exhibits this trait in the new movie.

Monkeyshines!


I suppose this piece could also have been titled: "My Brain Threw Up On Paper." But that's a little too verbose, isn't it? Either way, this is a random assortment of any and everything floating around up there in that watery noggin of mine. Notice there's no math depicted here.

DC Comics Ladies: Catwoman!

Watching reruns of the 60's show as a young tyke was my first introduction to Batman,  so I guess that's why I'm partial to the Julie Newmar Catwoman costume (although the freakish, stitched-up Michelle Pfeiffer version is a close second). I tried to make the suit here as "glittery" as possible to match the way it looked on the show. Note: this is the first and hopefully the last time the word "glittery" has appeared on this blog.

DC Comics Ladies: Zatanna!

Doesn't everyone love a good magician? More specifically, doesn't everyone love a good female magician? Even more specifically, doesn't everyone love a female magician in a little tuxedo suit and tights? Apparently so, because DC hasn't really gone out of their way to change Zatanna's costume in almost 50 years. Well, except for that time in the 80's when she started wearing that weird purple wizard outfit. She soon switched back to the classic tux though. You really shouldn't mess with a good thing.

Wanted: Godzilla!


I like to imagine that angry Japanese homeowners who have suffered immense physical and emotional duress would post flyers like these on telephone poles around their towns. Why they think someone could ever actually stop Godzilla is beyond me. It's sheer madness. Madness, I say! The reasoning as to why anyone would also choose to draw him wearing a fedora and smoking a cigar is equally confusing.

"Do you know a girl with hair like this?"

Here's one for my fellow Scott Pilgrim-ites out there. 


I'm partial to the blue-haired version of Ramona Flowers myself, primarily because my lovely wife accompanied me to the 2011 Austin Wizard World Comic-Con as Ramona and she chose to "go blue." I wasn't really surprised when several guys stopped us and asked if they could take a picture with her; what really shocked me was when people wanted to take a picture with me simply because I was wearing wristbands and Scott's "Fantastic 4 1/2" shirt. Someone actually thought I was momentarily cool. But I think that moment has now passed.

"That's right, boys. It's Dr. Venkman!"

I recently watched Ghostbusters again and was inspired to create some sweet Bill Murray a.k.a. Dr. Peter Venkman art. I'm including all three versions: color, ink, and pencil. Hope this brings joy to my fellow Ghostbusters fans out there!  I'm going to go eat some marshmallows now.

Novelty Chattering Teeth Come Alive!

There is absolutely no point, rhyme or reason to this thing. It just randomly fell out of my brain like an old moth ball. So here you go - a fake poster for some novelty chattering teeth. In concert. And only on a leap year, apparently. Get your tickets before they're sold out!



















Here's the original pen and ink drawing, including various sweet lightning bolt options:

"I Am Dracula"

Ok, so here's something new to my blog: music! You'd think it would be enough for me to constantly draw pictures of monsters; but no, it seems I must also write songs about them. I suppose this is the ultimate indicator of a hopeless, and perhaps unhealthy, obsession. Anyway, I'm still new to recording my music, so the sound quality isn't so great but I hope you get what I was going for. If ever Dracula danced, I hope he would be pleased to cut a Transylvanian rug to this little ditty. So without further delay, behold my musical ode to the Count! I Am Dracula by blalock

Retro Alien Girl!

Happy New Year, everyone! I thought I'd ring in 2012 with some brand new, spacey-retro-alien-girl goodness.

   

She's from a new hatchling of a comic idea I've started working on. Can you guess what it will be about?

(Hint: it involves monkeys, dinosaurs, cute alien girls, ray guns, outer space, and other random absurdities. But I will say no more.)
