"Mr. Jabber Wok"

Photobucket

I don't know how many of you were monster fans when you were growing up, but i was a HUGE monster fan..my dad had a couple books on monsters (probably where i got my liking for them right), and i ate them when i was smaller..and still do, haha.

I was a big fan of Gojira, Gamera, zombies, vampires, mythological beasts..and folklore creatures...such as the mysterious Jabberwock.

If you haven't heard of it, I def recommend looking it up, great poem ;).

This is my tribute peace to the creature.

"Dyet Freek"

Photobucket

what would i do without my caffeine...*falls asleep, snores loudly*

"Devil Drives Crazy"

Photobucket

A friend of mine and his friend had an idea for a comic strip and asked me to draw it out for them...and i said yes. ;).

Very cool idea by Gabe and friend, thanks!!!

"Dead Balloon"

Photobucket

I was waiting for an oil change and drew this in my handy dandy mini sketchpad while i was waiting..

I really like drawing the "uni-brow eyes", where the brow takes the place of eye balls...Larson used to do it with his cartoons as well as a few others, and I dig applying it to some of my toons from time to time as well.

So these four fetuses were featured together in a 4 picture frame at my last exhibition at Krooked House Studios..for some odd reason, there was a couple of weeks where I really got into drawing fetuses, and these 4 are my best ones...

"Mr. Sinister"

Photobucket

This literally came out of a random doodle. first came the neck and then the head and i kinda just played around with it til i got this..the horns were a last minute add-on to the drawing, but i'm glad i put them on..kinda a tribute to all those "mr.sly" characters of early cartoon history.

"El Chupacabra Diablo"

Photobucket

My version of the chupacabra...the mexican goat-sucking creature that, from eye-witness accounts, looks like a furry almond-shaped head alien, with spikes..and red, glaring eyes...

I have a much cuter version for my comic strip, so this is kinda the "don't f*ck with me i'm a killa" version. ;) hope you enjoy.

Doodle Series #8

Photobucket

So i thought of one of my favorite quotes before drawing this, "es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas"...its better to die on your feet than to live on your knees...by mr. zapata..
