Post-it doodle of a bulldog/frog/fish-man. And he wants beer. Apparently.

Doodled this while spending three hours on the phone with Time Warner trying to get my dad’s internet back. As of 11pm, still not up. Putting my already fouler than usual mood into overdrive.
53. Baron Von Porkchop
Something felt off. Then today I realized that I had forgotten to upload this sketch I did at HorrorHound. I don’t know how or if he knew that I have a tenuous connection to Baron Von Porkchop, but Baron super-fan Stephen Alexander commissioned this sketch from me at the show. Luckily, the Baron was also at the show and I was able to get a photo to use as reference. I still can’t believe I forgot this, but hey, it all worked out. The Baron deserves better than being lumped in with a bunch of other shitty sketches.
52. HorrorHound Day 3
Sketches from Day 3 of HorrorHound Weekend. We’ve got Jack Skellington from some movie, Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd, and a punk rock zombie.
And with that, we are done with the show. It wasn’t good, as far as finances and getting seen goes, but it was a ton of fun. Hung out with some good friends, ate good food, saw a ton of cool cosplayers and pretty ladies and got out of the house for a bit. I’m not soured on it. I may do HorrorHound in Indianapolis. At least I know a person or two I can stay with there.
Ok, PANIC!: Sean Hartter Tribute
This was a “me” pick. Sean was a friend of a friend who had died, and I believe my friend asked if I could pick this as a topic. Sean often made alternative movie posters, so that was the gist. For some reason, this one for the underrated Bubba Ho-Tep came to mind. Again, always fun to do something graphic design-y.
51. HorrorHound Weekend – Day 1 and 2
Sketches from Days 1 and 2 of HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio. I’m not doing great sales-wise. The prints aren’t moving, but lots of people love ’em – just not enough to buy ’em.
So, we’ve got Leatherface advertising the sketch deal, followed by an alien from the movie BAD TASTE, The Tall Man from PHANTASM, a Ghoulie from GHOULIES, a templar knight from TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD, horror host A. GHASTLEE GHOUL, and BATMAN. From BATMAN.
50. Super Fiends
Today is the first day of HorrorHound Weekend!
I will be there tonight and for the whole show through Sunday selling prints and doing sketches. I’d already talked about this a little bit and showed a preview of some of the prints that I will have for sale. Today’s drawing is the 4th print I will be selling at the show.
A while back for Ok, PANIC! our topic was Universal Monsters. I love all the old Universal Monsters (except The Mummy) and this idea for a Monsters/Super Friends mash-up popped into my head. The original drawing I did got some love, but it’s a terrible piece that I barely put any effort into. It was ripe for a re-do, and that’s what we’ve got here. I’ve been working on this for a while and had to make a mad dash to finish it and get it printed for the show, which is why I stayed awake until 3am the other day. I’m an idiot.
So come on out to HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati at the Sharonville Convention Center. I will be sharing a table with Kurt Dinse. Come by, say hi, buy some art and witness how two grown men will learn to hate each other over the course of three days.
My pal Matt Brassfield will be there too, along with Baron Von Porkchop and the possibility exists that they might be taping a special episode of Terrifying Tales of the Macabre during the show.
I’m super excited and work is just gonna be a drag to get to 4pm.
No movie last night, I didn’t even bother to try to watch something. I can’t imagine I’ll watch anything over the weekend either. But hopefully I can get online and upload some drawings over the weekend and share some cool pics.

So tired. I was up until 3am last night working on a project and had to get up at 5:30am for work. So I watched a couple movies and an ass-load of Twilight Zone eps.
3/20/13
Monkey Shines. A non-zombie George Romero movie, which would be refreshing if this hadn’t been made in 1987 or whatnot. Also, I could have sworn this was based on a Stephen King story. It is not. Anyway. It was okay.
The Ward. John Carpenter’s newest movie. It’s well made, has some jolts, but good lord is it dumb and hobbled by a terrible twist. But it stars Lane Pryce and Daughter from HIMYM and other pretty girls.
48. Jeopardy
This is my interpretation of the guy who won the Tournament of Champions on Jeopardy a few weeks ago. I remember when he was on the show originally and I absolutely hated him. When I saw him on the ToC, I just rolled my eyes until they sunk into my brain. He just had a punchable smugness, and was more like a Saturday Night Live parody of a Jeopardy contest. Plus looked like he was one midget standing on another midget’s shoulders inside of a giant suit. Or like Brain from Animaniacs when he went on Jeopardy, although Brain is awesome and this douche is not.
3/19/13
Hotel Transylvania. You know how non-Pixar animated films get a bad rep? This movie is a clear example of why. Distracting and often terrible voice-acting (Adam Sandler), fart and poop jokes (seriously, when I get tired of fart and poop jokes, you’re doing it wrong) and a paper-thin plot. Just not good.
47. Probin’
The streak is over. I tried, I really did.
I watched about 45 minutes of The Mummy (the original, Boris Karloff version) last night (3/18/13) before just giving up and passing out. I had dinner with my parents and then did a podcast, which I then edited, rendered and uploaded. By the time I sat down to work on my big art project, I was already pretty damn tuckered out.
