The parade of monsters just continues! Here are 5 more along with the letters that appear on the back. That stubborn “D” is upside down. You know what they say- “Never trust a ‘D’ to follow your wishes.”*

*Nobody actually says this.

In the animal kingdom, the superior brain power of the antelope causes all other animals’ (with the exception of the dolphin) self-esteem to crumble*. Here is a fellow that supports the argument beautifully by utilizing an abacus to assist with his addition. I don’t know about you but I certainly have no idea how to use an abacus. What an intelligent creature! And he shows such refinement by wearing an ascot with his jacket.

A few readers may remember the tiny monster paintings I did on scrabble tiles for a gallery show at Lulubell back in February. I had so much fun with them that I did a bunch more. Here are 6 of them along with the letter that appears on the back. You may notice that the “I” is upside down on the green fellow. Whoops.

It has been way too long since I’ve posted here. So I’ll be posting just about every day this week to catch up on what I’ve been up to the past few months.

Let’s begin with something I did for fun just this past week. I wanted to play with text and readability. Hopefully the words aren’t too jumbled!

My wife and I had a few folks over this past Saturday to carve pumpkins for Halloween. My wife did a Dia de los Muertos inspired skull. I did a twist on the traditional smiling jack o’lantern.

And, of course, when pumpkins are being carved and there’s a baby around the size of ours, that baby is going in a pumpkin! Just look how happy he is. Happy first Halloween, young sir.
