"Scary Friend" is my piece for Giant Robot's Yokai Show group art exhibition. It's based on the radical kasa-obake yokai. I was initially worried about painting it in these colors because I didn't want anyone to think of the 1990s Charlotte Hornets, but my wife didn't even know what I was talking about so I figured nobody else would care either. The show opens on Saturday, October 18th but here are some other very good pictures my wife took to tide you over until then :->

  Spooky Motorists are my latest series of tiny Capsule Castaways wood toys. As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently got a capsule machine to dispense these toys so you don't get to pick which one you get but I'm going to try and keep making variations of these little dudes so hopefully everyone who wants one will get a crack at it, you know?

After years of going back and forth, I finally decided to purchase an old gumball machine for my capsule toys. This means that folks don't get to pick exactly which toy they want anymore when it comes to Capsule Castaways but to sweeten the deal going forward, I plan on tossing in special tiny toys among the other regular series that I make. Here are some examples of a few special toys I made for upcoming events!

A few years ago I made a small series of Witchy Motorists but looking back on those toys, I wasn't happy with the proportions I chose. I decided to remake them and blockify the witches just like I had done for my Mushroomy Motorist wood toys. I'm very pleased with the end results! These are some cute little witchy friends :->

This is my submission for the Small World III group show which opens at Giant Robot on Saturday, September 27th. It features my froggy character Gobo sitting with a friend. I'm pretty pleased with how this little scene turned out. What do you think of it?

I made Go Away, Gobo! for LAZF earlier in the year. It's been a long time since I've created a character that I enjoy drawing as much as I do Gobo. They always manage to retain their Gobo-ness no matter how weird and squiggly they are drawn. It's neat!

Do you enjoy silly little wordless comic zines? If so, take a peak at this zine I made called Witch Citizen. But if not... I honestly don't know how to help you. Sorry?

I've been so focused on other projects that I haven't spent much time doodling little notions recently. But now I'm trying to get back into the habit, okay? Take a look at what came out of my pen yesterday :->
