Alice in the Land of Wonderful Pangolins

I drew this Richard Thompson tribute comic for Team Cul de Sac back in 2011.

What time is it?

Time to boldly jump over a puddle barefoot, apparently.

MeCAF ReCAP 2013

MeCAF was a blast once again this year! I loved meeting everyone who came out to the show and drawing lots and lots of monsters!

A Boston monster for José-Luis Olivares

These nice people requested "a one-armed monster who is depressed, but with a glimmer of hope."
Who can't relate to that?

And I got a request for a half-Chewbacca, half-vampire:

I also got myself a new fake ID from an enterprising young man at the show. I haven't tested it out to see if it works in Massachusettes yet.

Moira Swiatkowski snapped a good shot of us. Bob looks alert and ready for action, but I look a little out of it. I think I am actually in the midst of imagining my next monster to draw as I uncap a marker!

LEXICON 2013

I had a great time last week at the newest comic convention, LEXICON, at Lexington High School. Awesome art teacher and cartoonist Cara Bean invited a few local artists to come share our work with a cafeteria-full of high school artists. It was fun to meet the artists, see what they were making, and even do some art trades. One of the highlights was receiving this portrait of myself in exchange for a drawing of Tomb Raider (!):

See more on Cara Bean's teaching blog (where I stole this photo from).

The Team Cul de Sac art auction is now open!

Bid on mine here or Bill Watterson's if you've got the dough! R. Sikoryak's is my favorite Team Cul de Sac is a tribute to cartoonist Richard Thompson and a benefit for Parkinson's research. Richard is definitely my favorite daily cartoonist working today. His lively, imaginative drawings and characters have been an inspiration to me. I hope that he will be able to keep drawing for many years, despite having been diagnosed with Parkinson's. I am honored to be a contributor alongside so many amazing artists. There's also a book collecting all the artwork.

Dooly and the Snortsnoot Fan Art

I was psyched to see the great blog Vintage Kids' Books My Kid Loves post about Dooly and the Snortsnoot by Jack Kent today. I still have my own childhood copy of this book. As a wee lad, I was even inspired to draw my own versions of the Snortsnoot throughout the book!


And these are maybe some of the Snortsnoot's friends, or maybe inspired by another great Jack Kent book, There's No Such Thing as a Dragon.


Why do they have all those blank pages in books, anyway? To draw on, right?
