“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!

leatherface loves his slimming vertical stripes for strolling around town or a day in at the shop. freddy is sporting a finely woven long sweater in crimson and olive, sure to be on the minds of all the ladies this season. baby chucky is all about the springtime color combo, varying shades of bubblegum color under his designer overalls give him that vibrant springtime knifefight feel. while rowdy roddy has come here to chew bubblegum in his hand crafted plaid buttondown, let’s just hope he doesn’t run out!

you can see all these fantastic styles and get up to the minute news about what’s happening on screen and off over at bloody good horror! listen to their podcast! this image is owned and brought to you by them…oh and hey, it IS them! i drew it…but you knew that!

would you and your friends like to look as beautiful as these gents?! do you have money?! all your dreams and more can come true just email me at smo [at] smomotion.com for details!

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.

you can only confront them by approaching their reflection.

only the bravest most masterful of artisans attempt to capture their likeness and to do so they must draw the creatures backwards on parchment with only the aid of brush and ink.

i melted 3 different brushes while inking this, the demonic fires shooting up from the bike tires were too intense for my windsor newton series 7 but i pressed on.

to the right is a digitally remastered version of what we think the creature may have looked like were it drawn directly without the need for a mirror.

because they’re tough enough to handle it and they have access to shiny reflective things like mirrors they break because they laugh in the face of bad luck; i am sending this drawing to the silver sprocket bike club.

they love bikes and songs about demons that’s why they handle bands like the groovie ghoulies. that’s right they’re a bike club that deals in rock and roll! sick!

a few months ago they made me an honorary member of their crew, even though they’re stationed in califonia and i’m in brooklyn.

their spokes are true.
