Look who has crawled out of the #DrawlloweenMixTape , your friendly neighborhood “Spider Man” prompted by the #Stinktober2026 list. I’ve always been a fan of Ditko’s lanky version with the underarm webs and tiny pupils.

“Ghostbusters” is the #DrawlloweenMixTape prompt of the day, pulled from the #flicktober2026 list. I don’t know if we need anymore Ghostbuster films, but with an all pug cast, I might be able to get onboard. . #ghostbusters #mrwaltersdrawlloweenmixtape2026 #pug

Stomping out of the woods is today’s prompt “ogre” courtesy of the #inktober2026 list. This one’s got a little bit of everything that I enjoy drawing. . #mrwaltersdrawlloweenmixtape2026 #drawlloweenmixtape #ogre #pug

“Snake Man” slithers in as today’s #DrawlloweenMixTape prompt of the day courtesy of Ash Badwoods’ #31diabolicaldaysofhell2026 list. I’m sure he’s fine. Nothing to worry about. . #mrwaltersdrawlloweenmixtape2026 #snakeman

I’m putting together a crew for a Halloween heist. I’m hiring the best experts from social media costume ads…

Where were we? Oh yes, “necromancer” from the #tolktober2026 list.

Day 2, “Vampire” prompted by the ol’ #mabsdrawlloweenclub

Mr. Walters @nerfect.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Today’s #DrawlloweenMixTape prompt was “ghosts” from the #Stinktober2026 list.

This year I’m doing things a little differently when it comes to Drawlloween. Rather than choose a single list of prompts, I’m pulling my favorites from an assortment of lists. . #drawlloweenmixtape #drawlloween

It was a trying day shooting a few pick-ups for an upcoming instructional video.

Just got back from the Second Annual Berwyn Lantern Parade in Proksa Park, which was absolutely magical. It was great to see all the creative lanterns and be amongst community and being apart of the parade.

NEXT SATURDAY I will be guest vending at @mestizashop in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, and I’m inviting you all to come spend part of your Saturday with me! . PLEASE HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS! . #mestiza #pilsen #pug #chicago #toymaker

I’m making another video with Goodwill of Greater Milwaukee and Chicago, and part of my daily routine is transferring my footage to my desktop and deleting hours of awkward footage of myself from my phone.

Mattel’s collector’s line has made a Hot Wheels toy of a middle-aged, dad bod Bumblebee from the Transformers.

Brought my machine up to the dinning room to do a bit of sewing in the sunshine. I’m currently working on a couple wholesale orders and some upcoming seasonal items, and it really helps to work in a nice environment when you have a lot of repetitive work to do. .

#Knotwords doesn’t appreciate my wordplay. I hope this is remedied in the next software update.

I haven’t had a whole lot of free time this week to work on my folk art toy truck project, but I did manage to give the driver his hat. . The next thing I need to think about is what goes in the back of the truck. If you have any suggestions, comment below.

I stopped by a thrift store after my doctor’s appointment, and found this fun blank wooden snowman. However it was packaged with “flesh” color paint, and now I can’t stop thinking about a big, naked flesh-man.

I haven’t gotten a whole lot done this morning, but I did take this important screenshot. Please clap.

“Hey Gary, when might you be returning those albums I lent you?” “Oh… Uh. You might want to sit down…”

Took a little break from a project I’m working on to doodle the other half of this Junky Kid character. I always enjoy this sort of thing. It’s a fun creative exercise.

Found a bunch of sound effect albums at Goodwill, and this list of tracks sure takes a strange turn.

Mr. Walters @nerfect.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

THIS SATURDAY, I will have these new friends with me at the guest vending at Mestiza in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood! I will also have a whole bunch of my pug character toys, Lucky Pug Bag Charms, stickers, and art prints.

TRUCK PROJECT UPDATE . My attempt to restore and improve this folk art toy truck I found at Goodwill continues. The truck has got some new fancy hub caps and I’ve made good progress on its new driver. More to come, so stay tuned.

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of the wonderful Dolly Parton, whose music, personality and love made her beloved and adopted by so many people and communities. Her humble origins never left her and informed her art and philanthropy.

I’m restoring a truck. Beep beep!

Every year I consider getting this pug mask. I thought it might be fun, but then I just noticed something unsettling.

020

Mr. Walters @nerfect.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I found this gem at a Goodwill this past weekend. I absolutely love the design of the package and the concept. It’s such a good example of the ‘80s that you know they’d sell it at the store the Facts of Life girls ran after Mrs. Garret’s bakery burned down.

Mr. Walters @nerfect.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Chicago peeps, do not sleep on the Chicago Brand Museum. We went today and it was amazing!

Mr. Walters @nerfect.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

There’s a small part of me that just wants Transformers to not turn into cars or plates, but to simply deflate and lay in a clump on a lawn.

Why yes, I’m available to illustrate your restaurant’s kids menu.

On one hand, it must be a difficult task for a print on demand service to keep people from bootlegging designs, on the other hand, Tee Public is so infamous for the practice that their ads feature several bootlegged designs as a selling point.

I’ve got to go now. My planet needs me.

Sometimes I think it’s funny that you can invite people on Instagram to “collaborate” on your posts.

I’m rarely, intentionally on Threads, but I’d like to share this recent interaction.

The whole area was filled with amazing shops, like JL vintage, which had fun stuff, great prices and friendly staff.

Mr. Walters @nerfect.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

But wait, there’s more! Right across the street was a shop called DeviousFX which sold skeletons and other specimens, along with magic supplies.

While running around today, my wife did a search for “vegan eats near me” and discovered a place called Nachoritas in Lombard, Illinois which had amazing vegan Nachos.

Im currently looking for a gallery or shop in the Chicago area that might be interested in selling these drawings I came across in my archives.
