This is a snooty fat fairy smoking and judging everyone around her. She puffs on her long cigarette holder as she buzzes around like one of the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty.

This is what the UGA school of visual arts used to look like. It was really far from the dorms and close to downtown Athens. I sometimes dream I’m back in school and lost on campus, riding busses to nowhere, tunneling under the school of art, wandering around downtown and on giant hillsides peering down into a massive white stadium with hundreds of thousands of people looking at me. This is an imaginary pop art sculpture I designed a long time ago.

This is a pudgy green monster with fuzzy blue hair and blue jordan ones. He is a friendly fella with blue eyes and a happy smile.

This is an illustration of a nerd showing off his thinking cap. Google is my thinking cap. “Not a word, not a word, not a word now. Quiet, donations, you want me to make a donation to the coast guard youth auxiliary?”

This is a funny monster with a bright red nose, a nose ring and 4 arms. He is smiling as he tunes into conversations with his antenna.

This is an illustration of a blue mosquito that I did a long time ago. I updated it using my iPad Pro. The changes seem insubstantial but they add much character to the design. I added thicker and more detailed legs and added hairs to his thorax and antenna. I also updated his wing detail and changed his buggy eyes. The thing that the iPad does so well is let me pull freehand lines like I would with a pen or brush. This is far faster and easier than drawing them with the curve tool in photoshop or trying to draw them on a wacom intuos in photoshop with brush smoothing turned on.

This is an angry jester monster with tattoos and a sidekick. He is a midlevel goblin clown with a mean streak.

This is a happy blue monster with four eyes. She is a laugh monster. She laughs when she gets nervous. She laughs so much that her face muscles hurt and her mouth gets dry.

I can’t believe we live in a world where people understand what infectious disease is and how it spreads and how catastrophically damaging it can be to the very foundations of human civilization but we let random sick people get on planes and spread deadly pandemics around the world in a matter of hours. We need to make some serious changes to how international travel and national borders and immigration all work. Shutting down the world economy after it has circled the globe 5 times is too little too late.

This is an angry green bug with a red frowning mouth and round white teeth standing. He scurries around in his retro sneakers biting people and leaving itchy red bumps on their skin.

Birds evolved from dinosaurs. This is a bird that evolved back into a monster. He has a giant beak with teeth and tiny t-rex arms.

This is Jake the Doggo. He is a fatty. He likes to sit at his Supreme dog bowl and admire himself in the mirror before he eats his food. “Who is a good boy? I am!”
