The Wishing Tree

Here's an idea i had, of an enchanted tree. Many creatures would come and wish upon the tree, but soon after the wish is granted it claims your soul.
I like to draw trees with faces in them....i don't know why, always have & always will. Actually its been a little while since I've done one, so i think thats what I'll do today. I'll post it soon!

Reptilian Caterpillar

So here's another weird little bug I dreamt up. I sketched him out in marker. This fella is a reptilian caterpillar. As you can see he is unique by having an odd shaped reptile head and arms. while the back end is more of a worm. it has small spike-like protrusions along the segment of his body to help with climbing, & its skin is covered with scales. if you look at the back end, it has a small feather-like organ in the back which it uses for combing & spreading the silk it creates. Much like a slikworm it creates layesr of silk to fortify its home which is much like a funnel spiders home. Large corridors of silk in a cluster, where it can lay in wait & ambush its prey.

Genetically altered bugs sketch - Carpenter Wasp

As a kid, I liked bugs, as do a lot of young boys, the only thing is I never grew out of it. When I was little, I used to keep a spider jar & catch every spider I could find. As I got older I still kept a spider jar, except now it was black widows. There was a time where I kept a black widow on my desk at work ( in a container of course), because I thought she was good luck. I found this adolescent widow in my bathroom & raised her until death. I believe that every creature has its place in nature, & even if I find a spider, or cricket, or a lizard then I make sure to catch them & put them outside. The reason I mention this is because it explains why I'm always sketching little bugs, real & made up. so here's a series of bug sketches & this one is called the Carpenter wasp.

The Carpenter Wasp- This guy is about the size of a squirrel & has been known to kill such creatures in self defense. His colors & markings resemble a wasp, but he's much larger & more aggressive. He has a cluster of eyes atop his head & two large feeler antennae. His Primary diet consists of termites. He uses those large jaws to rip into the dead wood of trees. His long snake like tongue is covered with an intense sticky fluid which he then uses to collect the termites. The carpenter wasp has been known to eat the flesh of larger prey in extreme situations & is equipped with a vary large & powerful stinger that is used to incapacitate its victims. These creatures will most likely make their nests in trees, often the vacant termite nests become resting spots or permanent homes.

the bald headed butcher

Well I thought I'd take a brake from posting all the tshirts & polished stuff, just for a few days. Even though I've been doing a lot of that lately, I still draw on the side, so I'm going to start posting my sketchy stuff. Its less polished, but some of it still cool, some of it, not so much, but I'll post it anyway. Not every drawing or sketch is a good one, but it may lead to that next great one.

Handpainted batman shirt

Here's another hand painted shirt, of the caped crusader - XL mens crewneck - One of the reasons why I like batman, is because he is in fact a man. Someone asked me the other day, why I painted him all bloody, and its for that very reason. Batman is mortal & its important to show that side.....even batman has rough days.
