I got to take my family up to Washington DC this past weekend. It was amazing, we saw all kinds of amazing art we had never seen before and my kids remained tolerant as long as we split the day with something more geared towards their interests. So we hit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum as well as the Natural History Museum. Whoa. Some of the craziest creatures were in that place, I’ve seen a lot on line, but they actually had them. Some truly freaky stuff particularly in the deep see exhibits.
There was a particularly cool addition to the dinosaurs’ exhibit where they showed old photos of the skeletons posed with their tails dragging on the ground. Once it was discovered that this was an error, they adjusted the display, but used this as an example of how the museum changes with the times. So I thought it would be cool to have a creature that did slump his huge tail on the ground.
Good trip, I highly recommend it! Hope you like my critters!
kick ass as always
All the best creatures are created here! Superb job as always!
awesome per usual…. love the one that drags his butt/tail…that thing is thick. no wonder it drags it. how could it hold it up!
I like the guy (or gal
in the middle with the 3 eyeballs in 1 socket. Nice!
I can’t get over the one on the left… holy smokes. That is so over the top man… mad rock burn for that guy… I hope he has some stock in Desitin or Neosporin somethin’…..blaugh he just makes my stomach turn thinking about him, or *vomit in mouth* her *vomit again* dragging that huge whatever around.
I hope you checked out the national gallery of art and the portrait museum! There’s always oceans of inspiration to be found there.
you ‘ r icrible!!! your draws is my inspiration!!!
Thanks for the props on these. I love just trying little one off creatures with something unique about them. Its good exercise.
Daniel: Yeah, we hit both the Portrait Gallery and the Museum. Even though we sort of fibbed about why we were going to our kids, we really went to get our art fix! The Portrait Gallery is amazing, I want to live there for a month.

Hey Greg, I was away from the site for a little while and BANG all kinds of great posts to look at. You guys always have the coolest stuff to ogle over. Take care.
Not too sure about the middle guy (but it’s still in the stratosphere compared to other stuff out there), but I’m loving the other two. Simply awesome stuff as always.
I’ve added a link to this site on mine, hope ya don’t mind.
