Doesn't really taste like peanut butter. Definitely like it more than the original flavor tho.

A photograph of a gas pump handle. It has a sticker on it that says "peanut butter cookies."

My son Goobert who drinks 8 glasses of formaldehyde a day. #art

Digital painting of a creature made out of other creature parts stitched together - cat, duck, lizard, bird, etc. None of its limbs match. It has a bulbous nose, protruding teeth, stitches around its eyes and a metal plate in the back of its head with a bolt sticking out. Nevertheless, it is smiling.

Sometimes it pays to take things less seriously

Pen and ink sketch page of a bunch of nonsense. The central piece is a behelit shaped like a chicken leg. There are various things capering around it including a tongue with eyes, an eyes cream cone, a flying imp, and an agony pizza.

Ookoo, the bad egg Pokemon! It hides in Pokemon nests and devours the real eggs one by one. Its evolution is Kookovo, the devil egg #Pokemon. Dark/poison. #fakemon

A Pokemon that resembles a Pokemon egg, with a jagged split in its shell for a mouth, a long tongue and bird like feet. The image shows four different views of the creature, with a central illustration showing it asleep in a nest of eggs.

The evolved form of the previous Pokemon. It still resembles an egg but now has wings, horns and a devil-like tail.

Trapinch is perfect, and if its evolutions kept its chompchomp head and starry eyes they would all be in my top 10 (also Flygon should still have 2 pairs of wings). #pokemon

Digital drawings of Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon. Trapinch is unchanged, but Vibrava and Flygon have been redesigned with toothy mouths and star designs in their pupils. Flygon also has two pairs of wings.

Poison-type furniture I designed awhile ago. #Pokemon #art

A glass top table supported by a Seviper sculpture. On top are a Victreebel pot with a plant, Toxicroak speaker, Skrelp sculpture, Budew tart warmer and Mareanie lamp. A Weezing wall mirror is behind the table. To the left is an S-shaped Arbok end table with books and magazines on the hood and tail. To the right is a round end table colored like an Alolan Muk with a Vileplume humidifier on top.

Digital art of a vinyl recliner styled to resemble a Drapion and two small kitchen chairs styled like Skorupi.

Deceptrode. Bug/Ground type that mimics Electrode to scare off Water and Flying type predators. #Fakemon. (Pls don't repost without permission...I don't usually have to say this but people have done it more with this guy than any of my other stuff ._. )

Digital drawing of a white and red isopod like creature designed to resemble the Pokemon Electrode when rolled up. The front half of its segmented body is white, while the back half is red with a white crescent shape on the last segment. It has six pairs of black legs and black antennae over its beady eyes that resemble Electrode's eyebrows. When it is rolled into a ball, the crescent shape on its hind end resembles Electrode's smile. Its triangular, downturned mouth resembles a false nose.

Trying to teach myself #picocad because it's charming and I want to dip a toe into the world of 3D modeling. I've clearly got a long way to go, but I think this is alright for a first attempt.

Pre-viz and clean BGs from last night's new episode of American Dad, "The Violence of the Clams"! This episode was written by Tim Saccardo and directed by the always fantastic Tim Parsons. Looking for an experience 2D background or prop artist? I am available for freelance!

"Genesis II," an old #illustration that was a redux of an even older one. Back when I was really on that #bodyhorror game.

Digital illustration depicting a writhing mass of protoplasmic flesh in shades of red and purple. Tendrils, eyes and cruciform shapes extend from the mass into a black void. The most prominent tendril terminates in a masculine human upper body, which is holding its head and screaming.

Mr. Alec Trode, off to work at the power plant. #pokemon #gijinka

Drawing of a Pokemon gijinka based on Electrode: a round, bald man with a reddish five o'clock shadow and big smile. He is wearing a white button-down shirt and red pants. He has a ring of keys on his belt and is carrying an old-fashioned lunchbox. The style attempts to emulate Ken Sugimori's drawings of human characters for the first generation of the games.

Some backgrounds from season 18 of American Dad! These were designed for "Cow I Met Your Moo-ther," one of my favorite episodes to have worked on. Our color department is always amazing, but they really elevated this one.

A rough black and white sketch of a New York apartment rooftop. Three bathtubs sit in front of a wall of graffiti. It is a rough concept sketch for the American Dad episode, "Cow I Met Your Moo-ther."

A black and white digital drawing of a New York apartment rooftop. Three bathtubs sit in front of a wall of graffiti. Text in the center of the graffiti wall reads "Big City Honeys." This is a cleaned-up version of the previous concept sketch for the American Dad episode, "Cow I Met Your Moo-ther."

An animated GIF from the American Dad episode "Cow I Met Your Moo-ther," showing Hayley and three other women in bathtubs on the roof of a New York apartment. Text on a wall of graffiti behind them reads "Big City Honeys." This is the final colored and animated version of the previous two images.
