April 06, 2015

A few of the illustrations from the zine "Oh Orpheus" which I made to accompany an essay about Arcade Fire's use of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth on their latest album.

✨ WITCHES ✨ - DAY 15 : 🧠 HERMIONE GRANGER 🧠 - [HARRY POTTER - and the Chamber of Secrets] Harry and Ron would have been totally lost without Hermione. Even petrified by a basilisk, she still provided the answers. - @ladykbuzz #witchesarewe2018
🔪 BAD GUYS CLUB 🔪 - DAY 14 : 🌵 PRICK 🌵 - @craig.gleason #sotbgc3 #seasonofthebadguysclub3
✨ WITCHES ✨ - DAY 13 : ❄️ WHITE WITCH JADIS ❄️ - [THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA - THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE] - @ladykbuzz #witchesarewe2018
🔪 BAD GUYS CLUB 🔪 - DAY 12 : 🍬 COSTUME-KID 🍬 - These kids are my absolute favourite Bad Guys to draw so I had to include the two I did for SOTBGC2 last year, and the very first costume-clad character I did back in 2016 for the initial SOTBGC! - @craig.gleason #seasonofthebadguysclub3 #sotbgc3
✨ WITCHES ✨ - DAY 11 : 🐒 WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST 🐒 - [THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ] - @ladykbuzz #witchesarewe2018
🇺🇸 AMERICAN MONSTERS 🇺🇸 - DAY 10 : OZARK HOWLER - OZARK MOUNTAINS, ARKANSAS, MISSOURI, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS - A shaggy, bear-sized creature said to roam the Ozark Mountains with a call similar to a wolf's howl crossed with an elk's bugle. Many say that this creature is an unidentified big cat and that rumors of the 'Howler' are simply a hoax perpetuated by a university student attempting to fool the cryptozoological community (however, sightings of the beast predate this incident).

🇺🇸 AMERICAN MONSTERS 🇺🇸 - DAY 5 : 🐢 BEAST OF BUSCO 🐢 - CHURUBUSCO, INDIANA - The first recorded spotting of this giant snapping turtle was in 1898, but the beast was left alone until 1948 when two locals, while fishing in Fulk Lake, claimed to have seen the 500 pound creature. The then owner of the land, a farmer name Gale Harris, backed these claims stating he too has seen the beast. Word of these sightings spread and the small Indiana town became nationally famous. Although many people invaded Harris' land in the hopes of catching a glimpse of "Oscar" (the turtle was eventually named after the man who first saw it), they were left disappointed and any attempts to capture the creature were unsuccessful.
🔪 BAD GUYS CLUB 🔪 - DAY 4 : 🗑️ GARBAGE-BRAIN 🗑️ - Already a day behind! I'm still trying to get back into a regular routine of productivity, so it will take a few more days for me to totally catch up and get a wee bit ahead of schedule. Thanks for your support and patience! - #seasonofthebadguysclub3 #sotbgc3
🔪 BAD GUYS CLUB 🔪 - DAY 3 : 👽 SOLAR-SCUM 👽 - The first Bad Guy in my Frankensteined prompt list! - @craig.gleason #sotbgc3 #seasonofthebadguysclub3
🇺🇸 AMERICAN MONSTERS 🇺🇸 - DAY 2 : 🍄 HONEY ISLAND SWAMP MONSTER 🍄 - HONEY ISLAND, LOUISIANA - First seen in 1963 by Harlan Ford who had allegedly caught the beast on Super 8 film and claimed to have found unusual footprints and the mutilated body of a wild boar in the area. Local folklore states that the creature came to be after an early 20th century train accident where a group of chimpanzees (part of a travelling circus) escaped the wreckage and interbred with alligators native to the swamp.
🇺🇸 AMERICAN MONSTERS 🇺🇸 - DAY 1 : 🦋 MOTHMAN 🦋 - MOUNT PLEASANT, WEST VIRGINIA - Several sightings of the Mothman between November 1966 to December 1967 have been explained away as everything from elaborate hoaxes to mistaking lost, migrating sandhill cranes. The Mothman still remains infamous in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia and has been said to be connected with the 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge which killed 46 people. - This is actually a drawing I started last year as part of a series I had intended to complete before getting sidetracked by the second annual Season of the Bad Guys Club. I guess this month is as good a time as any to get back on it!
It's October! And that means, time for a drawing challenge! (more commonly referred to as Inktober or whatever) - The last two years I have proudly, 100% completed Season of the Bad Guys Club and loved every second of it. This year, I've decided to (sort of) mix it up a bit. However, I couldn't make up my mind, so, I've merged THREE lists into ONE ➡️ 2018 will be a combination of WITCHES from @ladykbuzz - BAD GUYS from @craig.gleason - and an incomplete series of my own featuring AMERICAN MONSTERS (not the real ones all over the news - unless we're counting "Weekly World News") - After many months of feeling very unmotivated, I'm hoping this list gets me going again 🧙🏼‍♀️🔪 🇺🇸
"Quetzalcoatlus" a giant of the Late Cretaceous🌿 - 8.5"x11" - ink and maker on 140lb cold press paper - I've been pathetic and sickly for the past few days but I managed to get this new, original drawing finished before descending into a pile of sweaty blankets. More coming soon!
