:: monsterage ::

when your problems overwhelm you; go get drunk it’s party time!”

when you’re undead, dead, or a reanimated collection of corpses what better way to spend the afterlife than to PARTY!!!

chocula, frankenberry and booberry decided to set aside their differences to hold a total rager known as “spoons toons and booze” at the knitting factory last saturday. frankensmo was slated to host [coincidentally frankensmo doesn't even drink!] but a scheduling debacle led to the event being canceled and frankensmo was left to wander the streets; but our monster friends are now further immortalized in this ink drawing!






the middle cleanup pencils above were done using the sample blackwing i was sent by pencils.com! more on this soon! i used a bunch of windsor newton inks and a higgins for the brown.

would you want prints of this? because i might make some REGARDLESS!

this was supposed to be a flyer for an oi punk show i got nagged by banshees from the bowels of hades to make; but in the end i was told it wasn’t tough enough…and “those kinds of skinheads [the bands playing] don’t like scooters.” i don’t like those kinds of skinheads!

i let this sit after it was spurned but i figured i’d give it some color and make the girl in the middle wear a crass t shirt. i was going to wait till i finished the background to put this up, but gee golly gosh, i’ll call it a process post!! floating characters ahoy!

i was looking at a dan decarlo book when i made this to fuel that punk rock archie vibe. after years of only drawing cartoony animals [outside of figure] i’m starting to dig this whole drawing people thing! i really like making loose references to my friends in these sorts of drawings too. there’s a couple in this one…

oh! speaking of friends and rock and roll ladies! i just added a link on the side to krysti pryde! scope out her ramblings! and those of chloe rice too while you’re at it!

here’s some post reading music from the aquabats while you wait:

:: so you think you can air? ::

air guitar is alive and well.

as a testament to it’s continued virility and to aid some friends in washington DC with their poster making efforts i drew this fine lady playing an invisible gibson sg with her mutant tongue.

tongue aside; she’s more king diamond than gene simmons.
