Uncle J's Monster #783

I draw Monsters who don't know they're monsters.

Each of my characters is hand-drawn with pencil and pen on paper, scanned, then finished digitally -- adding color, shadows, backgrounds.

Please note: The Fine Art America watermark will NOT appear on any final product. It's there to, y'know, thwart evil thievery. (I just typed thwart and thievery...what a doofus.) (And you read 'em. Now say thwart out loud just because it's fun.) (You're goofalicious, too, and I like that.)

So, I began sending along a little sketch instead. Those early, two-minute drawings -- my first since I don't know when -- always on plain 3 inch x 5 inch index cards -- evolved from pretty rough geometric shapes and single-color stick figures,...
