JellyBean

Well guess what? CreatureBox is 2 years old. Moment of silence. Wow, I’m pretty much speechless, so here’s a JellyBean instead.

Once Bitten

My wife and I spent the weekend down in Savannah hanging out with good friends and soaking in old college memories. What I didn’t really remember from my days in school were the trillion biting insects that really like to hang out just about everywhere. We were eaten alive throughout our journey but it was still a great time. My guess is under a microscope most of the insects would look like this dude.

Next time, bug repellent or some of those cool mosquito suits.

PLUMP!

Been a long weekend. Morton was lonely, he needed some oversized impulsive friend with some problems. Meet Plump! Be nice or else; PLUMP, right in the kisser!!!

Monster Mash

Many moons ago Greg and I had the pleasure of working with DC on some spot illustrations for Supernatural Magazine (based on the TV series). In some cases, the monsters were based on characters from the show while others were from somewhere in the darkened crevices of our heads. I thought in celebration of Easter I’d post some because nothing speaks to an Easter egg hunt like werewolves.

Truthfully, I had some ideas for a rabbit post but alas, the weekends have been really busy lately. No worries, I’ll have it up next year, I promise. Maybe.

Elderbeasts Part Trois

I know I should stop these. But I just love me some cathartic art therapy. Ok, here goes. The first dude is a combination of an old dude I saw the other day wearing a hoodie that was not sized or age appropriate, he has very square. I combined it with a cow I saw driving with my family that was doing this weird moo, funny as hell. The second guy is the germ that has been racking my immune system for the last week causing me to endure EVERY possible cold symptom you can possibly have. I want to punch him in his eye!!! The last guy is what some of the overly pierced and tatted kids are gonna look like when they get to be 70. I used the colors of my recently resurrected Jeep CJ7 to honor that it is now legal to drive again!! YAY!!! Me love me some Jeep.

Stay well, sick sucks!

Profiles

Several years ago I had the awesome opportunity to check out the Norman Rockwell museum in Stockbridge Massachusetts (twice!). The experience was simply amazing and the gallery displays the largest collection of Rockwell in the world. All the classics are there and the presentations really set the tone for his work. During the summer months you can even check out his studio. Rockwell would often compose profile paintings and the visit to the museum was another reminder of how telling a character’s profile can be. So if you’re ever wandering around the north east, give it a look.

And watch out for Vermont.
