Yōkai Daizukai, an illustrated guide to yōkai authored by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, features a collection of cutaway diagrams showing the anatomy of 85 traditional monsters from Japanese folklore. Wicked.
Finally got around to finishing my city-destroying monster. I have been adding to this drawing in my sketchbook since I got it back in June. This will probably change a little more. I would like to add a shadow under the monster… and possibly a few more touches of fire.
So here is a little bit of my personal artwork. This piece is from a series that examines the Tulsa Race Riots that occurred in the early half of the last century. This drawing is mixed media and uses a combination of layers to create a smoky and more dirty effect. I find the themes of destruction and conflict to be interesting ones, which is probably why I make work like this and help with Defend the City.
Robot Chicken is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well… maybe. It’s pretty darn great, anyway. The show is produced by Seth Green and is shown on the Cartoon Networks late night programming, Adult Swim. It’s usually pretty funny, and pretty offensive. Here are a couple of my favorite clips.

Heart City currency has evolved a great deal over the last several millennia. Modern notes commemorate the great Citizens that work to protect the city.
Having some fun in photoshop. I think that this little guy might get worked on more over the next few weeks. This is a start, though. Hmmm… what should his name be? Right now I’m leaning towards something along the line of Scruffledoodle… or Mitch.
Scott Campbell is an artist currently working out of New York City. Dude has mad skillz. His flickr site is jammed packed with awesomeness. I especially like the Everybody, All the time. series.
Tom Gauld is a cartoonist and illustrator living and working in London. He draws a weekly cartoon for the Guardian newspaper in addition to making his own comics. His drawings are pretty rad. I especially like the work on his flickr site.
Redmer Hoekstra is an artist working out of the Netherlands. His drawings are meticulously crafted, and often focus on strange hybrids of everyday objects and living organisms. Most often he uses human anatomy as a starting point for his work. The images are a little jarring at first, but have a nice quality about them.
