A Gorilla Baby Commissioned by Jack

One of my loyal Patreon members, Jack commissioned me to draw a gorilla in baby clothes. I'm not sure what it means and was afraid to ask but I dutifully complied. Maybe it's for a club where Jack and his pals dress up as gorillas...

3 Stooges Sketches

I tried to do a sketch of them from memory:

 It wasn't entirely successful so I freeze-framed an episode to some studies.

Possums Commision

Our pal, Justin asked me to draw a commission of Ren and Stimpy with a possum.

 Here are some of my studies and sketches.

These are drawn with the crappy Papermate pens because I'm saving my last few good markers for more cartoony stuff.

That's Joe Scarborough upper left without his glasses. He has very tiny eyes.

That's our nutty leader with Joe again.

Animal Studies 1

Here are some boring drawings of various beasts. I record a lot of nature shows and from time to time sketch some of the animals in hopes of retaining some of what they look like next time I draw some cartoon animals.

Devo Pitch from 2009

Kali Fontecchio and I developed a pitch for a video with Mark Mothersbaugh long ago.

He wanted to do it but something was going on with his label so it never happened.

These aren't drawn with my usual marker pens. They have been discontinued for some reason so I am using my last few judiciously. I drew these with crappy Papermate Flair pens. I can't figure out why they are so popular. The tips are way too skinny and you can't get a nice thick and thin line or any feeling with them. That's why these look so ske...
