killer keifer

Keith has long toenails that need a trimming, so I drew him slicing someones neck with them, all nonchalant like- in hopes that he will cut them soon. (they are not really thaaat long). He's really too sweet to me and I shouldn't embarrass him like I do.
He got me some Copic markers for my b-day and I havn't figgered them out yet so bear with me won't ya? This is actually marker and india ink with a splash of off white paint.

Fannie the Elephant

And heeeere's Fannie! my pink elephant. She's harmless right? WRONG! Just ask the peeps featured in the background. Does anyone else pick up the "Busted! in Austin" paper? Well I do and I used a couple of the folks with PI's and DWI's that made the front page to be in my shadow box. I don't think it's illegal to use their pictures is it? since it was published in a paper I'm assuming that I can use them. Don't drink and drive now ya hear? and don't get sa plastered in public to the point that the police notice, lest I put you in a shadow box displaying your shame.
6x8 inches, just a little feller

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

23x26 inches

sep 2009

Allow me to introduce you to my painting of the Creature from The Black Lagoon, my very favorite movie monster! This is just a peek in on a day in the life. Its hard work stealing lovely bathing-suit clad woman and taking them to his humble abode.

I also added a picture of Milicent Patrick who did the original drawings for the creature costume. She was a super bad-out chick who was a Disney animator way back when. Come on ladies.... show me what ya got!!!!
