Throughout the month of October, any proceeds from any purchases from my store, will be donated to relief efforts in Puerto Rico. So please help.
640. Spooky Lady
Leftover inky horror. So… this is one of those rare instances where I actually really like this drawing. I might turn this into a print. It just came together really well, even when I thought I was fucking it up.
639. The Marquis
Happy Halloween! Happy end of Inktober! I have long wanted to draw Guy Davis’ The Marquis. Almost as long as I have been waiting for a new installment of his comic series. But Davis has seemingly left comics for movie and television design, which I’m sure pays more. But it doesn’t make Davis’ lack of …
638. Xenomorph
The one and only time I’ll probably ever draw the titular ALIEN from the film franchise of the same name. Nothing against it or the movies, this was just really time consuming. H.R. Giger (Hey Really Giger) was a mad genius with a lot of time to work on this stuff. I have to have …
637. Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man
My childhood was spent mostly indoors due to my allergies and asthma. So I watched a lot of movies on HBO.

636. Schlitzie the Pinhead
When I first saw Freaks, Schlitzie was the one performer who mesmerized me the most.

Schlitzie’s story may seem tragic on its face, but he lived …
635. The Great Omi
Of the various tattooed people I’ve seen (beyond the horrible people whom apparently aren’t freaks with their look-at-me, see how non-comformist we all are tats – [seriously, there are like 5 tattoo parlors in my neighborhood. Stop it.]) The Great Omi is by far the most interesting one, visually, and historically. The entire month, I …
634. Sam Alexander, The Man with Two Faces
I’ll be honest, Sam Alexander’s story is tragic – though he apparently lived happily – and disturbing. I almost regret drawing this one. I just felt bad after learning about him. But I still drew it. Because I’m a monster. The entire month, I will be selling these sketch cards individually for 5 bucks, or …
