Acolytes
My dad wanted some Acolyte Creatures. Tried them on a new surface of wood. I kind of like having the wood as the background. May do more creatures this way.
The Big Crafty roundup.
Had a good time at the Big Crafty yesterday. Did not end up spending more than we made so that’s always good. Many creatures found new homes and I got some comics in trade from Simon Hunt.
Got to see the fine folks at Jellykoe again, and got a print from them.
Have two commissions to work on this week, a robot, & and a flying pig. And we have Rob-con this Saturday. Gonna stay busy.
Three more
Basketball, Rainbow Girl, & the one and only Dr. Horrible. Stocked up for the Big Crafty tommorow. See you there.
Batman & Batwoman
Continuing to stock up for the Big Crafty and Rob-con, this Creature Pair features the Dark Knight and Batwoman. I may never get tired of painting that Batwoman costume.

Bomberman Creature!

Socrates Commission
My Socrates Commissioned Creature. When I started painting these, I never could have thought I’d get a commission for Socrates.
Ending Peas.
My webcomic Peas has been running from 2007 to 2011 here. I am stopping work on the project as of right now as my passion lies elsewhere. When I started Peas back up from the print zine version it was in an effort to get me to create weekly.
I now find myself writing for various comic and fiction projects, painting creature paintings, and collaborating with people pretty much daily. It leaves Peas in a hard place, where not much thought goes towards Bob and Sally, and oftentimes you just get nonsense on the page. Also with my writing, Id rather have my stories fleshed out by artists who can handle what I want on the page.(NOT ME) The crude peas imagery worked for gags and bad puns, but not so much for the longer stories I want to tell.
Id never say never for the return of Bob and Sally, as they’ve already come back once, but for now it’s time to let them sleep awhile.
Thanks for reading!
They will stay archived online for you to read whenever you want.
And I still have Buttons and Zines for you.
Creature Bottles Finished
Finished the last three creature bottles last night. The front and back pictures are above. Ones a Spikey head and Bird, Captain America and Us Agent, and a family which features a small child linking the parents. These will debut at the Big Crafty next Sunday July 10th, and then go on etsy if they do not sell there. I made ten creature bottles in total, was a fun project, but I don’t think Ill be making anymore bottles in this style.
