HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! GO BLUE WITH SPLUE!!!

 

The Witching Hour has arrived!  Halloween is this Saturday!  While things are gonna be a bit different this time around, there's still a lotta fun to be had.  There's no rule saying we can't still carve pumpkins and eat candy!  Even Mike and Mindy came out of cartoon retirement for the occasion, giving a nod to their successors, Bubble Fox and Willow!  Looks like the wily foxes had a similar idea about their predecessors as well!  Since it's Halloween, this seems like a good week for a monster, and luckily, I happen to have one!  Time to end October with some style!  Enjoy...

It's Splue, the bear-lizard-crawdad creature!  He's a friendly monster who enjoys long walks and J-Crew clothing!  He also knows his way around a trumpet!  Splue was another MonstersGo character that I did for the Twitter collective a few years back.  I particularly enjoyed drawing this one because he's blue, and that's my favorite color.

And that's a wrap for October!  Come back next week and we'll see what our old pal Tom Turkey is up to now that November's here! Where Tom goes, the Brat Twins usually aren't too far behind!  Until then take care and please stay safe.  Trick-or-Treating is likely still gonna happen in many towns, so proceed with the utmost caution if you go out.  Happy Halloween and I'll catch y'all later!

HE'S IPPITY UPPITY!!!

Welcome to a new day CRAZIES!  We are another week closer to Halloween, which will be a bit different this year, but we'll find ways to make do.  Sometimes, it's the simpler things that are the best.  But enough preaching, you all want art!  Well, Warren, Kim and Dana do, but I'm sure there are others who want too see this week's monster as well, so without further delay, please scroll drown!  Enjoy...

It's Ippity! He's hip hop and won't stop... That's about the extent of my rap game y'all.  Another MonstersGo entry, Ippity wasn't the most colorful of monsters, but boy was he easy to draw, color and correct in post, thus making him my favorite of this month's entries!  I could totally see this monster becoming a plush doll given away as a carnival game prize!

Well, three down and one post left to go this month.  How will we wrap up October 2020?  You'll have to return next week and see for yourselves!  But it'll be worth it!  In addition to another monster, a few old pals will be stopping by for a seasonal greeting as well, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE TWEAP AIN'T CHEAP!!!

We are back!  The witching hour is almost at hand... Well, okay, it's actually a little over two weeks away, but time flies these days and it'll definitely be here soon!  Luckily, we still have some monsters to ties us over until then, so lets get a move on see what's in store for this week!  Enjoy...

The Tweap.  Part duck, part alligator, part Bert, this guy really gets his kicks with his stylish wardrobe!  This was another theme from MonstersGo and one of the more simple ones I drew, which is always appreciated as time was sometimes a luxury back in the better days of a full work schedule.  The kids that came up with these monsters had a real sense of colors and how to use them too.  It really was a lot of fun to color these.

And that's all for this week.  The fun continues into next Wednesday when yet another colorful monster makes his way to the CRAZYVERSE!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE SMAG IS COOKING?!?

Welcome to October CRAZIES!!!  Pumpkin Spice season is in full swing and the creatures that go bump in the night have come out to play as well!  Hopefully y'all have found ways to still have some kind of spooky fun so far.  While we're on the subject of spooky, what could be spookier than monsters?  Vampires?  Zombies?  Yeah, I reckon those are spookier, but dammit, I want Monsters and THAT is what we are going with this month!  So scroll down and get ready to scream with monstrous delight!  Enjoy...

Meet the Smag!  He's pink and blue and ALL attitude!  Don't leave any candy out with this one running around.  He feeds off of the colorful, candy-coated goodness!  Today's entry, as well as the other entries in the coming weeks, came from a Twitter collective known as MonstersGo.  Each week, a monster drawn by a kid was posted on Twitter for all to draw in their own distinctive styles.  It was a pretty fun collective that I took part in for a while until I just couldn't keep up with all the different collectives anymore.  I obviously have more time these days, but that's a story for a different day!

Well, that's all for this first week of October.  We'll be back next time with some more imaginative fun with a colorful monster!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

ELF!!! I NEED SOMEBODY!!!

Well, we've come to the end of September.  Literally as a matter of fact!  The future still isn't clear, but I do know one thing: The Holiday Season is upon us as the countdown to Halloween is on!  I know the world's in rough shape right now, but I can't help but be excited over the festivities that are on the way!  Outside of my annual holiday trips to Disneyland, I don't really do too many social gatherings during the holidays anyway, so things really won't be all that different for me under current circumstances.  But enough about that.  You want art and I'm here to deliver!  Enjoy...

ELVES!!!  How many of us have them?  Well, not many, unless you're Santa Claus, or own an oak tree bakery or happen to be a poor, tired old shoemaker.  In those cases, you might have many elves hanging around the premises.  Our last entry for this month was another subject for Animal Alphabets.  Elves are almost always synonymous with Christmas, so for this entry, I decided to take the shoemaking approach.  And although he's still dressed more like he came from a North Pole workshop, make no mistake about it, this Elf's a world class cobbler!

And that's a wrap on September 2020.  Be sure to come back next week as we kickoff October with some monstrous fun just in time for Halloween!  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

HE AIN'T NO GIMLI!!!

Welcome back!  Ya know?  It's actually pretty fitting that this month has featured characters of fairy tale lore as the haunting season is nearly upon us!  It certainly gets me in the mood for the spooky fun that is to come!  Of course, these characters aren't all that scary, but not everything has to be.  Some things just need to be fun.  Enjoy...

Today's subject is Dwarf Long Nose.  Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with this character, but his rather literal name was pretty much all the fuel I needed to come up with a drawing of him for Animal Alphabets.  He doesn't seem like the type of dwarf that would help Snow White stay out of harm's way nor does he seem like one of the badass Middle Earth dwarves that battle it out with goblins and orcs.  He could have a bright future as a cereal pitchman though if Kellogg's ever phases out Toucan Sam!

Well, only one week left in September.  How will it end?  You'll just have to get some cookies, slip on some comfy shoes and come back and see for yourself!  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

IF HE ONLY HAD SOME RAID!!!

Well, it's the middle of the month and Fall is more or less officially upon us.  Things are obviously a bit different this year, but some things are still the same.  Pumpkin spice everything has permeated store shelves.  Sweaters are starting to be worn outside in some places.  Some folks, like me, are even starting to put out their Halloween decorations!  Some traditions are still safely happening and will continue to happen, just like my weekly art posts!  So scroll down if you're feeling brave enough and enjoy...

Sheesh Cowardly Lion, even my mom isn't THAT scared of a little spider!  Even if the Wizard had been a real wizard, I doubt he could've helped this beast!  Another Animal Alphabets entry, the Cowardly Lion represented the letter C in this round.  This wasn't one of my more sophisticated efforts, but it did get a pretty good reaction on Twitter, so that was cool!

Another week passes into history here at the CRAZYVERSE.  Be sure to come back next week for the long short of this month's posts.  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
