This started out as a challenge from the lovely Ms. Jury to do something “Mythical”. I have had D&D on the brain lately… so this image just popped into my head. Thanks for stopping by. ~ John

I’m exploring new ways to shade these days: Hatching, stipple, ink wash. I have obviously not settled on a style. But that is what the sketchbook is for, exploring. How important is it for me to nail down a signature style? This is the question that haunts me… Till next time. ~ John

The Daleksons Shirt is now Live!

By Sumrow | Published: January 10, 2012
Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Who has sent this cute Dalek to detention? Who is making him write Exterminate 1,000 times? Who could have come up with such a clever Simpsons + Dr.Who visual gag?
My Fans that’s WHO!

The Story:

After a daily “What shall I draw?” poll on facebook, my fans had the Simpsons & Dr. Who tied for first place. I was a bit apprehensive, but eventually it dawned on me I could combine these two pop culture icons using the classic Simpsons “Chalkboard gag”. Replacing Bart with a Dalek and adding Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! was a winner. The fans agreed! So here it is.. the Fan generated Exterminate shirt! Now live in my shop!!

Thank you as always for supporting the Arts! ~ Sumrow

The Joker, 5" x 7", Ink (Microns & Pitts) on watercolor paper.

This is an idea that I have been toying with for a long time. Still not quiet there, but it’s getting close. I think I need to start drawing on bigger paper. I’m feeling a little cramped on these 5″ x 7″ sheets. Hmm…
Thanks for stopping by and saying Hi! ~ John

Back to the drawing board! <- Pun intended. See you there! ~ John

This daily drawing started out as a very strange bunch of circles / squiggles. Then slowly over a few hours and much erasing… the Vampire Brain Extractor from the 666th Dimension just emerged from the page.
