October Monster Madness 2011?

So back in 2008, I did a series of illustrations throughout October called, October Monster Madness. It was part fun, part challenge. It can be hard drawing different types of monsters, coloring them and doing it every day! It takes discipline. I'm thinking of doing it again. We'll see. Here's a link to the 2008 series, http://mattsketchpad.blogspot.com/search/label/October%20Monster%20Madness%202008. And here is one of my favorite new monsters I've drawn.

Space the Final Frontier

I was inspired after receiving a new book of drawings. It has a very gritty feel on top of space and mixed with ducks! Here are a couple drawings I did after leafing through this new book.The first one was inspired by the first car I bought, my 1986 Pontiac Firebird.

Deep Dreaming

Often I don't remember my dreams, but when I do they are crazy! The other night, I had been drawing right before I went to bed and I guess it carried over into my dreams. In my dreams, I drew a spider character who was a ninja! I awoke and told myself I had to remember it. Later that day I drew the following characters, one from my dreams and the other based on them.
