strangethingsart

Always sketchin'. Always drawin' something rather odd... Rather strange... I work traditionally and digitally. I like Beta Ray Bill and The Hulk. I also like Lobo. There's actually a couple other comic book guys I like too.

El Diablo vs El Cíclope Gigante

featured image

This was a fun one. Originally planned to draw a segmented drawing in a separated grid. I didn’t end up following through with that concept, and I still want to use it in the future. Somehow using a grid liked this helped me figure out the composition though, so that was cool. Dumped it into my ancient Illustrator and went …

Here’s a pig! With an owl on it’s head! Haha, will ya look at that? Drew this after spending about an hour looking at Jeremy Fish’s stuff. He’s a master and I love all his stuff.

Tiki Trouble: Re-Coloring the Masks

I really liked this design when I first made it. At first I made the decision not to color it but since then I wondered what it would look like color. Since I got the time nowww… So I used a different tactic in coloring this one than usual. Usually I build the line work then merge everything into a …

There’s a lot of the things on the “to-do” list that don’t make sense to me. This is one of them. I don’t know why I came up with this and thought it was a good idea to make. In fact, I’m sure this has probably been done before. But godammit I made a promise to myself that I would …

Ecto Skull!

ANOTHER drippy goopy slimy skull! THE ECTO SKULL puking ectoplasm everywhere!! In fact, he’s so full of ecto, that it’s straight oozing from his eye sockets. So far this is my favorite one. I think it works great on a bunch of products too, like the shirts and pins. Was pretty fun to work on. I was plugging away at …

CAN MAN COMETH!

THE CAN MAN IS HERE. BEWARE!!! This guy started off in a sketchbook I from 5th grade. He was swinging on a vine throwing a Diet Pepsi to a imprisoned genie. All the genies in said sketchbook were asking for Diet Pepsis for some reason. There were a lot of weird themes running through this book. Wish I were that …

LAST OF THE ELEPHANTS & THE CHUG

My cousin-in-law (if that’s a thing) Dylan asked me to throw together some designs for a release of 2 new songs and of course I said hell yeah. The songs are rad. I was laying in bed listening to the tracks and damn I was impressed. I got the idea for The Last of the Elephants immediately. Ran it by …

King Kick: Master Martial Artist

King Kick gonna round house kick your head off. Checking these boys off one by one. I had this idea for awhile. I may do another version of it with a flatter design style. Hitmonlee is one of the cooler Pokemon. Not necessarily my top ten but he’s up there okay? Was always confused by his foil, Hitmonchan, though. Is …
