Drew a series of banjo-playing monsters with my kiddos recently. This is the first of the series, the fin-headed crab-squirrel, Sharky!

#monsters #kiddocollab #oc #banjo #drawing

Sharky, a monster made of amalgamated animal parts (a shark fin head, bug eyes, crab claws, crab legs, a squirrel tail) plays a banjo while standing in front of a microphone. My kiddo has colored Sharky with red eyes, a brown head and banjo, red claws, green body, orange legs, and a rainbow tail.

Drew some NPC art from our DnD campaign. The players befriended an ornery old goblin named Gristle. The best NPCs are always the improvised bystanders. Enjoy!

#dnd #fanart #oc #goblin #npc #dm #dmlife

An elderly goblin sits on a high barstool, his arm outstretched along the bar, holding the handles of 3 frothy mugs of ale. He wears a kettle balanced on his head and a thick coat with sewn patches. Sparse white hair grows from his brow and chest and thick tufts grow from his pointed ears.

Watching some Gatchaman and trying out new pencils. Made some fanart, might delete later. Bird, Go!

Fanart of the Japanese super hero, Gatchaman, as he readies a bird-like throwing weapon and 3 Galactor henchman run towards him. In the background, the hero’s ship, the God Phoenix, flies through a starry night sky.

Was having a convo with friends about superhero origin stories and had to sketch out one of their hot takes.

#marvel #spiderman #originstory #uncleben #websauce

An off-panel heckler shouts, “SHADDAP N’ SHOOT YER WEB-SAUCE!” and a disenchanted Spider-Man slouches as a shoots a lazy goop of web from his wrist shooter.

It’s unfortunately true and I’ve been there more than a few times. Hope you land in a good place!

My kiddo’s favorite movie is “Sleeping Booties” and their fav character is “Ms. Leficent”, I suspect they assume she is named like a preschool teacher, so I had to draw it.

Maleficent, the villain of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, drawn as a preschool teacher in a paint-smeared smock, carrying a diaper, as one child hugs her leg, another cries loudly, and a young girl climbs a shelf in pursuit of Maleficent’s crow, whose wings are spread aggressively as it retreats.

Tried to draw the Straw Hat crew from memory. Some hits, some misses. Before the time skip and aboard the Going Merry. Enjoy!

#fanart #onepiece #strawhats #luffy

The Straw Hat crew from One Piece, drawn from the artists’ memory. Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Franky, Sanji, and Chopper aboard the Going Merry including the tangerine trees on deck.

Some coffee shop drawing, introducing the kiddos to some classics.

#fanart #art #artsky #tomandjerry #bonjourpussycat

MGM’s Tom the cat (of Tom and Jerry) dressed as a French palace guard subdues the young diapered mouse dressed as a ‘mouseketeer’ (I forget this young mouse’s name, if he ever had one). The mouse’s tunic is impaled and he sits upon the hilt ofTom’s rapier. He greets Tom with a calm ‘Bonjour, Pussycat.’

Why yes, I do have several imminent deadlines. And yes I did spend my morning drawing inexplicable niche fanart.

#fanart #ooklathemok #thundarr #gooduseoftime

Unfinished fanart for the 1980s animated show Thundarr the Barbarian. In this image, the lion-maned companion, Ookla the Mok, sits on a couch holding a mug of warm tea while looking pleasantly out of an off-camera window.

“My mortgage is $650” is proof the brown note exists.

Couldn’t sleep last night, so watched some Shin Chan (funimation dub). A normal show about normal things.

#fanart #shinchan #crayonshinchan #actionkamen #actionbastard #bastardbeam

The superhero Action Kamen (or Action Bastard in the Funimation dub) fires an energy beam from his belt buckle as Shin Nohara cheers him on in the background.

Last weekend's kiddo collab, Boyabutt, a kind of shark raptor flamingo raccoon. They describe it, I draw it, we all get a Sunday morning coffee shop treat. Enjoy!

#kiddocollab #collab #art #artsky #monster #coffeeshopdrawing #shark #flamingo #velociraptor

A drawing of Boyabutt, a mixed up creature described by my kids with a shark head, velociraptor arms, flamingo legs and a raccoon tail. They run across a sandy beach, desperately wide-eyed in front of a blue sky, sun high with 3 small clouds.

Ya know, credit where it’s due. Hulu knows how to call out a dystopia.

A screenshot in which the Hulu menu has swapped the titles images of The Handmaids Tale and American Idol, making the Handmaid look like they are labelled an American Idol.

You know, that classic easter tradition of… grave robbing? Necromancy?

Feeling pretty cynical about this new economy they have envisioned. You too can install tiny screws!

#oc #art #artsky #comic #monopoly #communitychest #godirectlytogo #internship #tariffs

Two kids and two adults play a game of Monopoly. The adult woman hopelessly reads a card from the game, “Community Chest: Your job has been reclassified as an unpaid internship. Go directly to Go and stay there.”

Kiddos have been rewatching “Alice in Wonderland” recently. It’s a bit on the nose, but had to draw it.

#aliceinwonderland #queenofhearts #gop #dems #golf #croquet #politics
#art #artsky #usa #offwiththeirheads

Donald Trump, drawn as a parody of the Queen of Hearts from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, uses as his golf club a flamingo wearing a MAGA hat. Instead of a ball, he lines up a shot on a seated democrat donkey in a blazer. In the background, a trio of Supreme Court justices burn, erase, and blackout the laws on parchment which grow in a tree parodying the “painting the roses red” sequences from the Alice film. Nearby a trio of GOP playing card characters stand guard, the hearts on their card torsos painted black.

Haven’t posted this comic over here yet. Still hits.

Every Sunday morning I draw Pokemon with my kiddos. This week they created a new one: Toukhan!

Side note: they are currently obsessed with Procreate’s light effect brushes.

#oc #pokemon #toukhan #kiddocollab

A toucan-like Pokemon created as described by my kiddos with a curved orange beak, four shining feathered wings, two small bladed appendages, a striped torso, and a long rainbow spiked tail.

Felt cute, might delete later.

#oc #nonsense #sundaydoodles #robot #art

A robot with a mohawk, wearing a t-shirt depicting a pig wearing trousers and holding a large dollar bill on a chain around his neck. Some truly epic social commentary or just nonsense. The robot also has a square word bubble, saying, "ART". The background is filled with hatching.
