I have been making my dumb life from drawing my little guys and stuff for more than 15 years now and I would like to continue to and you can help...

A screen print featuring head shots of 8 soviet dogs which were sent to orbit from 1957 to 1966, all surrounding the original canine cosmonaut Laika. A red star and banner at the top reads 'Soviet Space Dogs' next to illustrations of two different orbital capsules used in the program. All text is in Russian. An oil painting of a red human skull with a bright orange outline against a collage of '80s Japanese wrestling magazine pages. Picture of wrestlers, wrestling, and a lot of Japanese text, presumably about wrestling. A digital illustration of a spectral owl, with cephalopod arms where its legs would have been. The owl has two arrows embedded in its ghostly body. There is a stylized human skull tied to the top of its head which also has an arrow in it. Night sky, a bare tree, clouds, and a full moon are the background. A black t-shirt with an image of a Black Crowned Night Heron: a medium-sized bird with a whitish chest/belly, dark blue-black wing tops and crown, a black spearlike bill, red eyes, and proportionally long yellow legs with long toes, slightly webbed standing on a stylized rock, with a green rushing river and blue sky behind. An actual bejeweled black crown is suspended over the bird's head and a golden beam of light is coming from within it down onto the regal heron. All this is within an elaborate frame rendered to look like patinated wrought iron. As part of the frame, arcing over the bird's head on either side of the crown it reads BLACK CROWNED, and below the birds feet are the words NIGHT HERON.

Black and white digital ink drawing on a toned paper background in a vaguely engraving style. At the bottom left a man with an obsolete 19th century haircut is submerged in black water to just below his eyes. The top of his head has popped open on a hinge out of which has emerged a figure with a striped tubular body, little arms, and a big grinning devil head. The devil is holding a pitchfork horizontally. Devil’s head is also open and a long tubular form is emerging from it, making a little loop, and reaching to the other side of the frame where it ends in a cartoon gloved hand. There’s a nonspecific bird perched on top of the arm watching everything else going on. The hand grips the crosspiece of a marionette which hangs below. It is in the form of a drawing marionette wearing a bowler hat. It’s being menaced by the devil’s pitchfork and a flame at its feet that is emerging from a hole in the black water. In the looping tube arm shape are the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Ghosts of Krampus Past, Day 2
Krampus card front from 2019. A blue Krampus, long curving vertical horns, furry shoulders, goat legs, and tail. With a read cross-body harness around his chest and a red loincloth. He's holding the traditional bundle of sticks for beatings in one hand, and in the other - held aloft by the collar of his nightshirt - he holds a weeping, towheaded boy. On his back is a large basked that holds a similarly hysterical girl with blond pigtails. Under Krampus' feet curls a banner with the text 'Greetings from Krampus'. Detail view of previous, zooming in on Krampus and the terrified children An alternate Krampus from 2019. Drawn in a much more cartoony style, our man (blueish gray again) stalks across the page with a prancing step facing left, holding out a clawed hand in front of him and holds a red leather whip in the other. He's wearing a metal cage as a backpack which is exactly big enough to hold one screaming child. Behind and above in large decorative red and gold letters is the word KRAMPUS Black and white version of previous, when it still included an evil-looking little Victorian boy who is about to do something dastardly with a lit match to an unsuspecting kitty cat, but don't worry Krampus gonna grab him first...

Hey in case someone wanted to take me up on this still-standing commission offer we are getting close to a cutoff for holiday delivery but we could do it if you got at me soon...

Going to try a thing here... If you want a 9x12 ink drawing of your D&D guy or a pet or an animal you'd like for a pet or something else similar to these, I will draw it and mail it to you for $100. I'll even do a little lettering. DM if interested.
An ink drawing of a tabby cat reclining and looking at you. Some hand lettering says the cat's name, which is Otter. The pen I used to draw it is laying across part of the drawing. An ink drawing of a woman with short hair, wearing chainmail and various pieces of plate armor over a long flowy garment. She's leaning on the hilt of a broadsword and holding a helmet under her other arm. No background other than an outline of tilting Celtic cross gravestone. The pen I drew this with is over part of the drawing. An ink drawing of Edward Gorey as an older man with thin hair and a large bushy gray beard. He’s shown walking wearing sunglasses, a massive knee-length fur coat with a big collar, a chunky knit scarf, jeans, and white sneakers. He’s holding some books under his left arm. Over his head some rough, loopy lettering reads ‘Ogdred Weary’. The pen I drew this with is on top of the paper. An ink drawing of the wrestler Ox Baker, a large, bald man with a huge muttonchop mustache, large eyebrows, and copious body hair. He appears to be shouting something, probably about how he's going to punch you in the heart. He's wearing a championship belt and making some elaborate hand shapes.

I wasn't kidding. If you want a card you can DM me your address and be surprised which one you get. Offer good until I run out.

Now is the time of Yule and Monsters
A digital illustration in the form of a multi-color relief print. At center is Gryla, Iceland's Troll Witch who stalks the land around the yule snatching misbehaving children and turning them into stew. She has blue skin, a craggy hag face with horns, fangs, and pointed ears framed by long, white hair in two big braids. She's wearing a traditional-ish looking dress and pinafore type thing under a big overcoat. In one hand she's holding a gnarled walking stick, and the other, reaching out toward the viewer is on the back of her pet Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat. He's a huge, fluffy, black cat, getting ready to pounce with his mouth open and one massive paw swiping out. His job is to eat children who are found without new clothes before Christmas. The point of focus of these two monsters, is two terrified, screaming children wearing tattered winter clothing in the lower right of frame. The ground all around is covered in snow, and the background inside a rough-cut framing shape is a spooky forest under a night sky with crescent moon, stars, and swirls of howling wind. Part of the top of the frame widens out into a red banner reading 'Gryla & Jólakötturinn'. Now get out there and try not to get eaten.

Hivemind, I have a challenge. Popular culture is dominated by the car (car chases, cop dramas etc), helping us accept a car-dominated urban environment as normal. Can you think of any examples of popular culture highlighting bikes, trams, walking etc? I can only think of A Streetcar Named Desire.

The bear that moved into a home’s crawlspace more than a week ago in Altadena is not budging: despite numerous attempts by the homeowners to keep him out, the animal is staying put.

When I saw the new Fantastic Four in the theater I missed that they stole a Marina City tower for it
Galactus, a very large man in a crazy outfit who is also kind of on fire, is seen from above looking up at the camera from a city street. Behind him is one of the towers you would likely recognize from the cover of an old Wilco record.

Digital illustration of five anthropomorphic flowers (poppy, sunflower, pansy, daisy, coneflower) holding leaves and trailing along happily on their rooty feet. The center of each flower is a grinning skull. Five individual but connected speech bubbles from each flower read ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Posting some Ghosts of Krampus Past, leading up to Krampusnacht on Friday. I've made a lot of Krampuses, if you were unaware. These are from 2012-2015.
A screen printed Krampus design from 2009. An extremely goaty, brown, furry Krampus with curling horns hunching down to grab a little victorian dandy boy who is in the process of destroying a pocket watch with a hammer. Krampus has a large red bag slung over his back that clearly contains other children he's picked up on his rounds. A decorative frame reads: 'Achtung! Sei gut! Krampus kommt!' (Look out! Be good! Krampus is coming!) Krampus from 2013. Our blue-tinted hero drives a big wooden wagon, as he cracks a whip over the heads of two children in a wooden yoke who are pulling it. In the rear of the wagon is a large cage full of other children who are also reassessing their behavior the past year. This was drawn for a holiday card for my employer at the time but at the last minute *someone* decided it was innappropriate for official holiday greetings and was never sent. A hard-edge vector rendering of a furry blue Krampus, crouching on his goat legs and waggling his long tongue at the viewer. He holds a bundle of switches in one hand and a three pronged fork in the other and chains dangle from bands on each wrist. Yellow type above and below reads 'Gruss vom Krampus'. From 2014. Black and white line drawing of a never-colored Krampus from 2015. Pretty much my basic guy: horns, tongue, goat legs, furry tail, some ripped abs in this instance, holding a bundle of switches. He's got a basket on his back which holds a weeping little girl, and he's holding up a screaming little boy by the collar of his pajama top.

There's so much to hate about this movie, but what had me hollering was how Michelle Dockery is on the radio to a pilot on the ground who is supposed to be helping her land a plane and the first thing he does in this life-or-death situation is shamelessly hit on her. And she's way into it.
