643. Dr. Druid
I saw Doctor Strange last night.
It was good, not great. Just a slight bump up over perfectly average. The sequel set-up has a lot of potential to be really good. Mads Mikelsen is wasted as the villain. Rachel McAdams is almost as wasted here as she was in TRUE DETECTIVE. Blufferbone Coupieschifdt’s American accent was only mildly distracting. The visuals are amazing. It was enjoyable overall.
Oh, and the Stan Lee cameo was only mostly distracting.
642. Fate
I’m going to see Doctor Strange tonight.
641
Back to subpar, half-efforts!
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 comic work any less hurtful, Marquis or otherwise. I miss you Guy Davis. Come back.
This piece will be available on my store shortly.
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 a day job.
I would like to take this opportunity to advise anyone to look up comedian Matt Gourley’s H.R. Giger impression. It’s fantastic and eerily accurate.

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. The two I probably watched the most were the 80s Flash Gordon movie, and David Lynch’s The Elephant Man. So, that’s how my brain was formed. I’ve been endlessly fascinated by Joseph Merrick’s story ever since.
The entire month, I will be selling these sketch cards individually for 5 bucks, or as a theme set (7 cards total) for 25. If you want one, let me know, asap via email or other means. At the end of the week, I’ll post the set on my store.
636. Schlitzie the Pinhead
When I first saw Freaks, Schlitzie was the one performer who mesmerized me the most. Say what you will about the treatment of these people, but they were ostensibly well cared for and lived longer, better lives than had they been on their own. Schlitzie’s story may seem tragic on its face, but he lived a good long time.

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.
