The elusive appletaur is native to the northwestern U.S. It likes cool climates, long walks on the beach and smooth jazz. seeking compatible mate for life.

So i'm thinking "what sort of being could tame the free spirit of the appletaur?" Badgers just made sense. (micron pen, watercolor)

My mom commissioned me to do this for her former employer. She's of native american heritage, but my mom failed to recall either the people she's descended from or her spirit animal (she does, in fact, have a spirit animal). We decided that it might very well be the bear. Besides, nobody DOESN'T like bears. I took this from part of a legend about a man who, in visiting with a council of bears is transformed into one himself. He dies in the end but... well... so do we all.

Shadowolf's character Cyrus, done for the TP. The character design was just too awsome to pass up! was fun to draw too :) I more or less had Sting's 'Desert Rose' playing on a continuous loop while working on this. (micron pen, photoshop) (to reitterate, Cyrus © Shadowolf)

Whenever people make mystical characters with earrings up the wazoo and glowing tattoos and magical dragons living up their butt, they give them complex, made-up names like Naphtzirea, Tyrnabuul, Naadirea, Foobar, etc. Now, i'm not saying i have anything against sugh names, but i mean, at least one of them had to have had parents that got sick of forgetting how to spell their kids names. Whatever happened to Josh, the warlock? Or Robert the conjurer? Where's Steve the Alchemist? So i give you, Darrel. He works in accounting. (photo courtesy of corbis.com)

well, it's cutting it kinda close, but i'm ashamed to say i'm totally lacking in a proper halloween drawing. i have a VERY good reason, i assure you, but the details would only bore you. suffice it to say that... HOLY CRAP WHAT'S THAT??? *throws drawing at you and runs* happy halloween, kids!

Fact #1: Peacocks are male. The females are known as Peahens, and they're far more plain looking. Fact #2: This is a guy in drag ;) (watercolor, ballpoint pen)

This is what happens when i listen to too much Jason Mraz. Besides, there really is nothing that can make one feel so incredibly one with the universe as lying naked in the dandelion patch. ... even if they're not really dandylions. (micron pen, watercolor)

So, with my film in a finished state (i hesitate to call it "done"), i have time for doodling and the like. ... and that's why foxes are cooler with jet packs. ... orca monsters don't need jet packs to be cool (watercolor, ballpoint pen)
