Rattlesnake Skeleton in the Moonlight

This is a minimalist painting I did on some black construction paper. I felt like utilizing the existing darkness as suggestive space, so I could hint at shapes and create more of a mood than a realistic depiction of what a rattlesnake skeleton or a cactus would actually look like. This is gouache with a little bit of acrylic. 

Sasquatch

Here's a large piece I've been working on a bit each day for a while now. It looks a little off because my scanner bed doesn't facilitate the scanning of the entire piece at once (it's about 10 7/8" by 15"). Also I'm no longer technologically inclined enough to be smart enough to press down on the scanner lid so the bottom edge isn't so blurry.

Submitted here, for your approval: A giant sasquatch in a stocking cap traipsing through a Minnesota landscape of unspecific locale. 

A Few More Drawings

Space Tiki!

As you may or may not know, I've been trying to do a "doodle-a-day" drawing exercise. I've found myself sitting down to the old sketchbook and ending up more frustrated than productive. I think the major barriers are: A) Coming up with something I feel deserves the time and paper, and B) Trying so hard to make something I think I'll feel proud of, that it stymies my attempt to do anything at all, which is counterproductive and antithetical to the whole sketchbook idea in the first place, right?

Spectral Luchador!

So the whole idea of my doing a doodle a day was to help loosen myself up and just engross myself in something that only had to be as fleshed out as it ended up being, using whatever medium I felt like, with whatever subject matter rattled to the front of my little mind. I know I tend to have a variety of styles, in that sometimes I like to do more comic book-y cartoonish illustration, and other times I really like breaking out the pencils and trying to do something a bit more "arty" if that makes sense.

Anyway, here are some more recent doodles.

The Curse Of The Ghost Of Dracula's Skeleton!

Ugh!
