Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

Its a Seinfeld The Thing Mashup meme of Jerry Seinfeld, Kramer and The Thing, The John Carpenter movie. Jerry asks Kramer "Kramer , what's going on in here?" Kramer says Nobodt trusts anybody now, Jerry" Kurt Russell is behind Kramer with a lit flare it seems. And in the last panel you see a hideous creature with Newman's head on it.

BOOGEYMAN (1986) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28” X 17” I love doing covers for anthologies, especially horror. This piece was commissioned for the annual THE YEAR'S BEST HORROR STORIES from DAW Books. #art #booksky 🪐📚
A tall, slender boogeyman with exaggeratedly long arms quietly slides open the closet door of a child's bedroom. Jostled hangers slide to either side as the creature emerges from behind the cover of clothing. Red dots glow like molten beads set in deep sockets. A double wrinkled ridge defines a wide brow while elfish ears knife out and back, framing a sloped dome that nearly touches the top shelf. The closet rod bars its way forward, crossing just below its round, snub nose. Salivating, its jaw hangs open in a V-shaped smile lined with short sharp teeth.

Landscapes of Proteus #artsky #ocsky #scifi #cyberpunk #protheus
A futuristic alien landscape in a flat graphic style. Dark soil covered with clusters of small golden mushrooms fills the foreground. In the distance, a pale plain with purple and red patches of terrain stretches between hills and rock formations. On the right, enormous mushroom-like plants rise on long, thin stems with broad, flat caps. A human figure in a dark suit stands on a rocky ledge on the left. Muted palette of cream, gray-green, purple, brown, and gold.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a chimpanzee in an enclosure is sitting on the ground and painting abstract streaks of color on a canvas lying in the grass. Panel 2: a couple is standing outside the enclosure, looking in. The girl says about the painting chimpanzee, “aww, that’s cute.” Panel 3: the chimpanzee is alone in his dimly lit studio, head in hands, holding a lit cigarette. He looks completely dejected, feeling misunderstood. There is a pair of glasses, a glass of whisky, crumpled paper, and an unfinished painting laid out on the desk in front of him. The walls and floor space of his studio are covered in his abstract paintings on canvases and paper. There is also a marble sculpture of a banana beside him.

Chris Moore was a giant of book cover art. Perhaps a bit less well known than the other Chris (Foss), Moore’s covers dominated the sci-fi section of bookshops while I was growing up in the 70s and 80’s

💀 DOL GULDUR 💀 For Tolktober days 1, 2 & 3. #Tolktober #Tolktober26 Moon | Forest | Necromancer
Illustration of Dol Guldur from the Hobbit by JRR Tolkie. An evil hill-top fortress vignetted by twisted, leafless trees. The fortress overlooks a forest canopy with black butterflies above it. In the distance is a lonely mountain, an even further mountain range and behind a gap a volcano.

A stone staircase leads up to the fortress door which is glowing from the inside. Cruel windows resemble spider eyes and fangs. Two turrets with crenelations that look like raised hands. One of the crenelations is broken off. On top is a henge of 5 stones with 4 shadowy figures between them. An altar in the centre of the 9 shapes. A crescent, ringlike moon is eclipsing the central stone.
There are 9 stars in the red sky.

Hidden in the top branches are the words Dol Guldur.

Colour combination of red and teal overlapping risograph style.

Did you know that the name Dol Guldur is not used in the Hobbit but is mentioned in the Lord of the Rings as a dwelling place of Shelob's brood.

Elysia crispata are also called "lettuce sea slugs". They utilize 'kleptoplasty', stealing chloroplasts from macroalgae. But the name 'crispata' means "frilled", referring to how it looks like a 1970's tuxedo shirt. Here the fun bit: it's an animal that evolved LEAVES. Let's talk about it!
From a sea slug forum, an Elysia crispata showing purple and orange fringed animal with dark black and white spots on the body.  it's on a bit of coral with some algae lawn beneath it.

Parts of it were used in the series "Carnivàle", though I don't believe it was credited.
