- I love amblypygids! Marker doodle based on my pet, who's always so happy when he gets a cricket. Maybe this should be "unusual invertebrate week" on Yerf?
- A buck with really big antlers, drawn from life (death?) at a local hunting store. Hunt #104 and ink on drafting film.
- This is a t-shirt design that was used for a river cleanup project. This scan is from the finished shirt (I don't have the original), but most of the original detail is intact.
- Xianjaguar's "xianjaguart7.jpg" inspired me to post one of my own tiki drawings. Hula toad doodle in markers and colored pencils. Pass the poi!
- A picture for 13:11 of VCL... his cartoons are awesome. Pentel colorbrush, markers and colored pencils.
- Leafhoppers are groovy, man.
- This is Arin, by boyfriend's character, on Claybord black. I haven't had much experience with scratchboard, so this was sort of an experiment.
- A bunch of little cartoony devils. Bosch fan-art.
- My other character, Deadweasel. And some old-fashioned stylized lab equipment that I made up off the top of my head.
- This Halloween, Deadweasel's going trick-or-treating as a mad scientist, complete with homemade monster in tow.
- More brushpen + Photoshop. I had a lot of fun with the background in this one. E-mail me if you want to buy a print of it.
- Pretty generic 'character design' picture of Deadweasel to serve as a T-shirt design (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/store/store.aspx?storeid=scarebear,scarebear2,scarebear3). I've been trying to put more personality in my drawings. I'll have some new non-generic pictures up soon... I wish I could draw faster.
- Colored pencil picture of Fluffy the scarebear, who's not as mean as he looks.
- A scarebear T-shirt design (Available at: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/store/store.aspx?storeid=scarebear). I was trying to make him look a bit more dynamic, and not so floppy and passive like he usually is.
- A commission that I did several months ago. Personally I prefer pictures that aren't quite so depressing, but this was what the client wanted. Mostly markers with a bit of white pencil.
- Every holiday ought to have a bunny.
- Over spring break I got a new pet. Her real name is Trachycormocephalus, but I call her "Cyd". She's a neat animal, though not really quite this glamorous.
- Cyd on the cover of a 1950s pulp novel. Did you know that centipede fangs are actually modifications of the first pair of legs?
- Inked version of a moose head I sketched from life a while ago. Ink applied with brush and removed with a scalpel on Denril film.
- I've just started some fire ant research for my grad thesis. Later this summer I'll be looking at pathogenic fungi and nematodes that emerge from ant cadavers. Thinking about those experiments inspired this ant zombie. She's rendered in marker, with a bit of gouache in the background.
- My old high school mascot was a green and yellow river rat.. but he didn't look like this! Sketchbook doodle in colored brushpens and colored pencils.
- Three armed rat guy from my sketchbook. I'm pretty happy with the inking, but... I can't believe I bothered to mask off the entire thing and all I did was airbrush the background fluorescent red! I think all that hair metal is making my brain rot.
- The cover page of my newish sketchbook. I made up this critter, the "rabid mutant dog", when I was in elementary school (I was kind of a weird kid). I wanted to see what he'd look like if I drew him now.
- Another scarebear, colored pencils on white clayboard. This was a graduation gift for my boyfriend's sister, whose first initial is P (hence the stomach symbol).
- Silly headhunter spuirrel. I used ink, marker, airbrushed acrylics and gouache.
- 1950s poodle.
- A dragon for one of my fellow natural resources students. He's my first "all computer" doodle.
- A mermaid and her pet. I got this idea when I was doing my scuba certification dive.
- I did this for an art trade with my friend Tammy the Psychovixen. The background was inspired by Bruegel. My webpage is finally up at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cegraham/index.html. Also thanks to everyone who gave me such a nice welcome to Yerf. I really appreciate it!
- Velvet the vampire vixen with a mysterious bottle. An exercise in silly camp and gouache outlining.
