My lady likes trees, so I drew a tree. I also spilled some water on my post-it pad, but I liked the effect it had on the gel pen. Speaking of the lady, we saw the Rifftrax Live rip on 1998’s Godzilla. The Rifftrax itself was great as usual. I had never seen the actual movie though. It was pretty terrible, but only slightly more terrible than the most recent remake/reboot/continuation/whatever the fuck it was. Not that the new one is terrible, but Jesus it was absolutely forgettable. The only thing I remember about it was that Bryan Cranston dies early, and Godzilla saves the world. Fuck that well-made piece of shit. But anyhoo, the ’98 version is just all-around God(zilla)awful. I thought maybe it’d be a “so bad it’s fun” kinda thing, but nope. I can’t imagine watching it without professional comedic commentary.

560. Lady Sif


Wanted to draw a Kirby-ish warrior lady. Can’t really get more on the nose than Sif.

559. Dayton, Ohio


Last week, I saw these two people – individually – walking the streets of Dayton, Ohio. I can’t think of two finer representatives. Maybe milkshake swastika guy.

Really trying to make “Pork Fist” a thing, again.

557. Captain Creepy (36)

So, another birth year has gone by. I’m now in the last half of my 30s. It would almost bother me if I hadn’t felt old since I was in my early 20s. It’s certainly been a year of ups and downs. My dad found out he had and then was treated for lung cancer, my mom closed her business of 36 years and then took a part-time job. Probably the biggest shift in my own life (aside from the 2nd job I recently started) was the removal of an absolute toxic human being from my life. Like a cancer of my own that clung to me for 13 years, I finally realized what a horrible person she was and how they were slowly killing me. This person – this despicable, deceitful trash of a festering wound – was ruining me. So I cut them loose, and almost immediately my life began to improve. The constant fear of – and feeling of – loneliness gradually went away and a small bit of confidence came easing back into my mentality.

But as new people enter my life, I’ve not gotten rid of all the old ones. My pal Jason is still around and is the inspiration behind today’s sketch. Jason recounted a story about a dude asking him about super powers. Jason said he’d want the power of invisibility so he could stalk women and watch them get naked and his name would be Captain Creepy. So I designed Captain Creepy for Jason, and I only hope it’s creepy enough.

555. Star-Lord


More Guardians of the Galaxy love. I’ve wanted to draw Star-Lord for quite a while, but never got around to it. I will probably go back to him, I’m sure. I really want to draw classic O.G. Star-Lord, the Steve Engleheart massive asshole Star-Lord in his original costume. But, I do dig his Space-Gas Mask from the movie and recent comics. I think I might also like to draw the Annihilation Timothy Green costume/mask/helmet thing too.

554. Groot


Last weekend, I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Usually I avoid these huge movies on opening weekend, but I was too damned excited. This was a “must” for me since the word go, and became an even bigger “must” once James Gunn was on board as writer and director. Between The Specials, Dawn of the Dead remake, Slither, and Super, I’d say I’m pretty much on board with this guy no matter what, and it’s awesome that he now gets to experience a mega-success that he clearly deserves. To say I loved Guardians is a severe understatement. It’s an absolute delight. I will see it at least once more in the theater – another thing I never really do.
