When Pigs Fly

 

This one's a little more cheesecake-y than I normally post here, but it made me giggle, so I figure it deserves to be here as well as my Furkini Atoll brand!  Lines are hand-drawn, but I painted it in Procreate on iPad with the usual Nomad brush!

Looking closely at my photographs...

 

A new series of critters interacting with photos I've taken over the years.  They make me giggle... As usual, Procreate with a Nomad brush on iPad!

Monkeys under the sea!

 

I'm trying to decide which one of these I like better--you'll see it as a new iPhone cover option soon!  I'm thinking I need some new product for the iPhone 6! Done while flying to Hawaii on my iPad, with the usual Nomad brush in Procreate.

Monkey Heart Coffee--the series continues...

 

Couple more gems from my Monkey Heart Coffee series.  Done on my trusty iPad, with a Nomad brush, in Procreate.  Fast becoming my favorite toolset for digitatl art!

Monkey Heart Coffee!

 

I want a coffee mug just like this one!

The statue awakes

Here's the top half of the latest cross-section I'm working on.  Still doodling away on the bottom half, but I thought y'all would enjoy taking a peek at it as is.

Baby monkey rides a pig backwards on the moon...

 

I can't stop singing the song... This one's Procreate, Percolator, and Tiny Planets on my trusty iPad!

Super top secret comic panel

 

Who knows if I'll EVER finish this, but I'm working on a new strip that's full of fun, excitement, surprises, and you guessed it--MONKEYS!

Another profile of what my brain sees...

 

My latest profile piece.  This one's being printed to a big square canvas!

The Middle Hill Gang

 

A juvenile mystery series I'm working on.  Kind of an homage to my childhood, but with a bit of Alfred Hitchcock's  Three Investigators mixed in.

WIP photos

 

I've had a few queries as to how I'm putting my latest series of illustrations together.  They start off as doodles in my trusty Moleskine gridded notebook.  The grid helps me keep my page organized (and to line up drawings that need to be matchlined).  Then it's on to Photoshop to color the lines and paint the color in.  The doodling is the fun part--wait 'til you see the most recent pieces I'm working on--they're nuts on detail!

 

Galactic Monkey in the hizzouse... Procreate for the character, and Frax for the background.

 

This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands.  Zombie Monkey from my last post, with a Mars texture I found on the Interwebs, composited with a background from Frax--all plopped into Tiny Planets to give Zombie Monkey his own mini Mars to explore.

 

Zombie monkey strikes back...  I drew this one in Procreate on the trusty iPad on a long flight to the West Coast.  The background is something I generated in an app that I'm loving these days called Frax--fractally generated images that you can twirl and twist and zoom to make interesting backgrounds!

What lies beneath?  I'm obsessed with cartoon cross-sections these days--they're just so much fun to produce!  Hand-drawn in my sketchbook, then colored/post-processed in Photoshop.  I've been printing these to canvas for a gallery hanging, so stay tooned for pics (I'll try to avoid the selfies).  This one prints at 16" x 48".
