The Expendables opened on Friday the 13th, sooooo...

Gorillafox

Smoke Monster

I had a nightmare about this guy after drinking a LOT one night.

((should have gone up October 8, 2009)

RASL GIRL

The creepy girl from Jeff Smith's Rasl freaked the lice out of me. But now I don't have lice, so I WIN. Go read Rasl now. There're only 6 issues so far and it's "early seasons of Lost" dope.

Black Flame

You ain't seen nothin' til you seen your boss roll up in a board meeting to fire everybody with a Black Flame suit on. You need to be reading B.P.R.D., by the way. I'm embarrassed it took me so long.

(This should have gone up October 6, 2009...)

Horror Cassette!

I posted this drawing of my good buddy Justin Aclin's character 'Geist from his new graphic novel "Hero House" over at a new sketch blog I'm working on with some of my best friends called We Are The Law. And you can/SHOULD buy Justin's book here on Amazon!

IHOP Butter Monsters!

For Valentine's Day, I went with my girlfriend to IHOP for breakfast dinner and she asked me to draw faces on the butter piles pictured on the place mat. PLOP! It's a boy and girl!

Photoshop turns 20

Photoshop has been around 20 years today and I dunno if there's another thing in the world I've used as much as Photoshop to make my friends smile (unless you count farts), so I wanted to say Happy Birthday with this drawing I colored with the graphics program. I love you hard, bro.

NIGHT BREED! NIGHT BREED!

Paging Dr. Decker!

It's come to my attention that a few month's time off sent the message that we let this site die. Well, we DIDN'T! And we were wrong to leave you in the basement with the lights off for so long. So, dammit, I'm finishing these horror drawings, and the Swayze drawings, and then we're gonna blow your MINDS with other stuff. Stuff with sparkles!

The Wild Things

Say what you will about the new movie from Spike Jonze (I can't wait to see it!), but when I was in Germany in the 3rd grade, my school went to see a "Where the Wild Things Are" opera/play in a small village and the impressive, homemade costumes scared the fuck out of me. In some yearbook on some shelf somewhere, there's a picture of me all freaked out in the audience and looking for my sister in some seat dozens of rows behind me. This is a drawing of the lead monster from the book.

(Should have gone up October 4...)

Stand in the Corner

Everybody knows the Blair Witch makes you stand in the corner if she catches you. This scene haunted me out of nowhere weeks after I saw the movie and I still get spooked when I walk into dark empty rooms.

(this shoulda gone up October 3...almost caught up)

Large Marge!

I haven't met a single fucking person who's seen this movie and hasn't said to me that Large Marge freaked them out. Here's a reminder.

(this shoulda gone up October 2)

Celestial Babies

I'm sorry.

While searching for pictures of the Facehugger from Alien, I found this.
Now you have to see it, too.

Facehugger Club

What can I say? The fucking things gimme the willies. Especially the Japanese ones.

Killing When Killing Wasn't Cool

Cinnamon Jack's reflection?

When it comes to creepy comics, Al Columbia isn't only a member - he's the president. And in Fantagraphic's Zero Zero #4, Columbia produced a short story called "I Was Killing When Killing Wasn't Cool" that is so startling and nightmarish in its quiet elegance that it'll stick with you forever. I don't wanna give anything away, but that bastard I drew above was partially responsible for said startling nightmarishness. Columbia JUST released a new book, so GO FUCKING GET IT.

(I meant to post this on October 1. See? Catching up.)

I Heart Tom Atkins

This hot shit right here has appeared in so many FUCKING COOL movies that I can't understand why I haven't seen more people with tattoos of him. You know I love him. Now please go and look at this list, then rent ANYthing from it during the month of October (I recommend this and this) and fall in love, too.

Martians Bring it All Back

BOO.

It's October, and you know what that means - sketches of shit I find startling provided at least once a day all month long! I mostly kept it up last year (that's right, our little sketch blog is over a year old), but I plan on staying on top all this month. I know I'm currently 5 days behind, but that just means I'll be posting some late additions over the next few days (DOUBLE THE FUN!).

Patrick Swayze will also be making a few appearances here and there because I owe about 11 of the drawings I've started in remembrance of him, but I didn't want to push the October fun too far back, so rest assured they'll appear over time. I got me some new pens, I rented some weirdo movies, and I'm pumped. Come back daily!

And kicking off the whole celebration is my Mars Attacks friend above. Ack-Bak!

To Wong Foo...

Swayze as the very glamorous cross-dresser Vida in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. Of course, it co-starred Blade and the Clown from Spawn.

Click here for the trailer. Seriously. You need to.

Chippendales

Swayze as Adrian - a Chippendales dancer hopeful - versus Chris Farley's "Barney" - the only competition. Even if you've seen it before, watch the 2 and a half minute video now.

Falling in love with a Stallyn

Here's Swayze falling through the air as Bodhi in Point Break. His falling buddy? Ted Theodore Logan from the future's biggest band, Wyld Stallyns.

Patrick Swayze

Since I was a kid, I've been in love with Patrick Swayze. My sister would watch Dirty Dancing non FUCKING stop and whenever I got the chance, I'd pop Road House into the VCR, so the guy wasn't just in heavy rotation - he WAS the rotation. Shit, I've even had to come to terms with the fact that Dirty Dancing is a damn fun film and has become one of my favorites for all kinds of reasons.

Needless to say, I'm especially moved by his death, I'm gonna post a new picture I've sketched of him each day for the rest of September until I begin my horror-sketch-a-day routine in October. I'm starting below with my favorite scene of his EVER.

Seriously, I was a fan of the guy. Few celebrity deaths have kicked me in the gut this hard.

As Johnny Castle in the Dirty Dancing climax

(Take the 5 minutes to click here and witness this grin-smearing scene in all its glory)

Educators in exile

Hey there

Worm!

Random Panels

of stuff

Chubs and little man

Found in Austin

From some Hall and Oates drawing contest. And it didn't even fucking win?!

Walking Robot

The future of walking.

BURGLAR!

What a jerk.

Big Ol' Robots!!!

And I saw Transformers 2 last weekend and I didn't like it. A lot.
Like how much I don't like poison ivy.
