Some monster doodles I did while taking a little break at work this week.

Done with pencil on paper; color and texture added in Photoshop.

I did some hard drive excavating today and found these cuties, a few dog walkers I did a couple years ago.

They were all done with pencil on paper, gone over with ink.

This is a frog-type alien guy. There are some things in his life he wishes he didn’t have to do. They are:

5. Exterminating shneekphors. Although they eat his flowers and spread disease, he thinks they’re kind of cute.

4. Going without eating for more than 15 minutes.

3. Fangmorgering.

2. Taking his vitamins.

1. Flossing.

I sketched this out with pencil on paper, then traced outlines in Illustrator, then brought everything into Photoshop to color.

I can’t stop making collages!

This one’s about four friends who are planning on taking over the world, for nefarious purposes. Their plans include: making everyone bake them cupcakes every day, drinking up all the tea, and forcing people to listen to Randy Newman all the time. This is the scene where they’re walking down the street in slow motion.

The collaging just did not stop this weekend. Gab and I worked on some more cutting and pasting yesterday evening.

And here’s Gab’s:

He let me do the background. The finger fangs are genius.

Oh what a lovely Saturday! It involved some collaging. I cut up some lady-type magazines and got a little crafty. So these three girls arrive to a party and they’re kind of nervous and they’re about to say hi to the hostess and then get their first cocktails of the evening. But first, they’re greeted by a little lamp deer and a flying pink hotdog. It’s gonna be a good party!

How I did it: collage and pencil on paper, with some additional graphic stuff and color added in Photoshop.

Some drawings age like wine, some drawings age like cheese and some drawings age like peas.

Some monsters are happy to be watched; some monsters are happy to watch other happy monsters.

Some things are worth falling out of the sky over; some things are not.
