Halloween Illustrations Day 7: Grave. This is from the @mabgraves #mabsdrawlloweenclub 2026 list of prompts. Based on my "theory" that ectoplasm is actually a fungus that absorbs rudimentary memory from decomposing corpses. #mdwc26d7 #grave #fungusghost #halloween2026

A is for Acheri From my Ghost ABCs series (2019). An Acheri is a Himalayan girl spirit who dwells on mountain tops. Their shadow spreads disease. I will be posting one letter a day from now until Halloween. #halloween2026 #acheri #ghostillustration #ghostABCs

October Illustrations Day 5: Monstrodamus. Suggested by @davidhartmanart as part of his #monstroween2026 prompts on Instagram. Trying to channel a bit of David Cronenberg for this design. #halloween2026 #halloweenillustration #hartmanmonstroween2026 #monstrodamus

So many great ideas, so little time. This year I plan to juggle prompt lists, treating them all as a bit of a sampler platter. Octobers are always so busy, though, so who knows how many I will finish. Regardless, I'm ready to pump out a half-baked mish-mash Halloween drawings!

Let the Halloween drawings begin! DAY 1: Demon Self Portrait. This was on @ash_badwoods 31 Diabolical Days of HELL! prompt list on Instagram.

Happy first day of autumn! A couple of years ago, for just a minute, I was thinking about getting into stained glass. I drew the first draft of this concept and then promptly remembered I already have way too many hobbies. #halloween2026 #scarecrow #stainedglass #autumnequinox
Illustration of a scarecrow with pumpkin head reaching out to the viewer. A purple sky with glowing moon in the background. Green toxic fog in foreground. All drawn in a faux stained glass, very geometric, style.

Ugh. I was just thinking of a similar incident at my school. A girl brought in some beautifully rendered Beauty and the Beast pieces, and the prof told her it wasn't art, and if she was just interested in illustration she should go to a technical college.

We have reached that point in the gardening season - instead of bragging to ourselves about how healthy we are eating and how much money we are saving, we are calculating how many more green beans we have to eat before we can order pizza.

Nobody wants this. Polling shows that Americans want to protect public lands, and certainly don't want data centers built on them.

It's that time of year again - the Over the Garden Wall theme is playing on repeat in my Insta thread and in my head. Now I can post this crossover illustration that I've been picking away at. #overthegardenwall #hellboy #fanart
Greg from Over the Garden Wall holding Hellboy's hand as they walk through the woods in the dark - illuminated by a hand held lantern. The dark silhouette of The Beast is visible in the mist in the background.

A sketchy little painting of a habañero that I grew. It looked just like a little flame (an example of warning mimicry among a domesticated plant?). Then I ate it. It kicked my a$$.
A sketchy habanero pepper painting. The pepper looks a bit like a small flame. Smoke is depicted rising from the top.

I was randomly thinking to myself yesterday, "Human batteries make no sense. In The Matrix, it would have been better if the computers were keeping humans as some sort of organic computer/neutral network." My hypothetical is one step closer to reality.

Felt like drawing the kids from Spider-Man in anticipation of seeing Brand New Day. We were supposed to go this morning, but one of the cats threw a diarrhea party, so we ended up staying home (and catching up in the garden). #spiderman #tomholland #zendaya #jacobbatallon #fanart
Caricatures of the three main characters from the new Marvel Spider-Man series (Peter, MJ, and Ned). Drawn over some lined paper and sketchy spider webs, etc.

Grizzly bear - drawn in opposition to the administration proposing to delegate grizzly management to the states - which are typically hostile to large predators. If you also have thoughts about that, you can submit comments to the USFW, or submit one of the form letters through Earthjustice.

The North Atlantic Right Whale (~380) and the Rice's Whale (~50). Two endangered American whales. A reminder of what we stand to lose if this maniac administration continues gutting our environmental protection laws. At least some billionaire oil tycoon can get fractionally richer.
An illustration of a right whale and Rice's Whale with a 380 and 50 written next to them (respectively).

We watched The Odyssey over the weekend. It was great! I couldn't stop drawing this mental comparison, though.
Screenshots from the new Odyssey movie of Odysseus squaring off against the Laestrygonians, then screaming with the word bubble, "Run Away!". Finishing with a screenshot from Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the knights all running away, screaming, "Run Away!"

Rest in peace Sam Neill. Super sad to read about his passing this week. I don't get verklempt when celebrities pass, but Jurassic Park was a huge part of my childhood, and Sam Neill seemed like a cool guy. Inspired by his social media selfies with his farm animals.

The Royal Court of Princess Donut - circa book 7. I got hooked on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series this spring - started the first ebook in April and fully caught up a couple weeks ago. Lots of fun, and definitely inspired me to start drawing (after I was done reading, of course).
A group illustration of the Royal Court of Princess Donut. Includes Carl in the foreground wearing his gear from the books, and holding dynamite. Donut the tortie Persian cat is behind him, on the back of her blue and purple velociraptor, Mongo. The flying severed head of Samantha is in the background. Rend, the tummy acher, which looks like a meatball in stubby legs is in the foreground, mouth agape.
