Sue Storm doing an invisible strip tease. Wish I could draw women better.

Just thought it’d be funny to pair up Ronald with Pogo the Clown, aka John Wayne Gacy.
Dr. Creep’s Assignment Terror
This is a recreation of a movie poster. The original title of the film is called Los Monstruos del Terror, renamed in the U.S.A. as Assignment Terror (sometimes Dracula vs. Frankenstein) and is written by and features Spanish horror star Paul Naschy.
My friend Matt Brassfield is putting together a sort of tribute/charity drive for local Dayton, Ohio television icon Dr. Creep. I think every Dayton artist is contributing a piece of art for each episode of Dr. Creep’s New Shock Theater, a revised version of his old late-night horror show. This is the first of two I’m doing for Matt and Dr. Creep (in case you’re wondering he’s the leering gentleman in the beard and hat at the bottom of the drawing).

I just didn’t want to draw them in the style of their creator.
Ok, PANIC!: Mythical Creatures
I found many of the topics to be weird or vague. I just wanted to draw Eric Powell’s Chimichanga.

I traditionally post something here on my birthday each year. The first year was an emotionally heartfelt couple of paragraphs and some art. Last year was a fun breakdown of my cartooning process.
This year has no art whatsoever. If you haven’t heard yet, Adam Hughes ruined my life and I’ve stopped drawing for my own fulfillment. For the time being, anyway. Also this year my depression has been spiraling deeper and deeper out of control. I am getting worse, mentally, physically, psychologically, socially and as a human being in general. This is not a cry for help. This is not a pity party. There is no party at all.
I just got back from a sneak preview of the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Movies like this always make me feel terrible when I get home, which probably explains the previous paragraph. By no means was the movie terrible. The movie is in fact one of the most amazing times I’ve ever had watching a film. I’ll properly review it in a second. But the reason I feel terrible afterwards is because movies like this – movies about dipshit, selfish misfits who find love and strengthen true friendships – make me realize what I no longer have in my life and make me realize that there is no way I’ll ever get back to that place again. Or get better again. I’m too far away now.
I don’t like my reflection.
That said, Scott Pilgrim was a fantastic movie and I recommend this to anyone. Michael Cera is truly at his least Michael Cera-y, yet still retaining all the Michael Cera-ness that made people love him on Arrested Development. Edgar Wright proves that he can do a film without Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and still be amazing. Bear in mind, I have not read a single panel of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels and dislike most everything hipsterish and indie rock. Scott Pilgrim the movie should not appeal to me in any way whatsoever outside of my love of Edgar Wright, and not only was I sold, I pretty much ignored the redneck fuckcunts who sat behind me and talked the entire time.
It was that great.
Goodnight.

Casey Jones. This was the first topic in which I really became disillusioned with this Ok, PANIC! thing and almost quit. The curator actually assigned specific characters to us. I said “fuck that”. I always already super-depressed and going through a bad creative block. I didn’t need that extra crap. For some reason, I contributed 70 more times.
