Happy Wet Day to all who celebrate. Many Urkels to you!

I wanted to draw something to ring in my favorite podcast-spun holiday. A more complete version will be shared soon!

Until then, get soaked.

Bugs, Daffy, and Tweety notebook sketches.

I'm very excited to see the new Looney Tunes movie and hope I can catch it while it's still in theaters.

I think this was me trying to figure out what "my take" on them would look like.

I've been doing some major spring cleaning and I have a TON of random notebook doodles I've never shared online.

I'll try to snap pics before they go in the trash, if I think any may be of interest.

I like to ink other artists in Procreate for fun and practice.

Here's a Phil Hester Mister Miracle sketch I inked.

Closing out the year with one final Christmas movie tribute, The Snowman, based on the picture book by Raymond Briggs.

This was a new favorite as of this year but will be an annual watch from this point on.

I watched it on a friend's suggestion. Then watched it again. Then watched the sequel. Then watched the spin-off. And listened to the soundtrack before bed, several nights in a row.

I tried to combine my art style with the illustration style of the book and movie.

I hope the holidays have found you well.

Happy New Year.

Paying tribute to some of my favorite Christmas movies/characters.

Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and A Charlie Brown Christmas forged my love of melancholy Christmas specials.

Paying tribute to some of my favorite Christmas movies/characters.

While not specifically Christmas, this time of year makes me think of another favorite Disney short, Donald's Snow Fight.

Paying tribute to some of my favorite Christmas movies/characters.

'Pluto's Christmas Tree' is one of my favorite Disney shorts and has some grade-A Chip 'n Dale clowning.

Paying tribute to some of my favorite Christmas movies/characters.

I've loved both Gremlins movies forever. Probably got into them younger than one "should" but we just enjoyed the comic mayhem and cool puppets and effects. It was an all-the-year-long movie but stands as a great Christmas monster flick.

(And I'm trying to experiment with different monochrome/2-color palettes, which is why Gizmo is green)
