3 collaborations and a troubled sketch





1)My collaboration in Mike's round 2 mole for him to finish. It is called, "Alas Poor Yorick," or "Self portrait of the artist as a young Woman looking into the future II"

2)I did not find any half collaborations from Steve for me to do in Mike's round 2 mole, so I went to Steve Splotch monster site and downloaded two splotches and made my own monsters from them. Since I couldn't decide between them and Mike has LOTS of pages left in his book, I decided to make two collaborations. The first one is called "Georgia on my mind." Here is Steve's splotch.

3)My second splotch monster is called "The Orange Bow." Here is Steve's splotch.

4)I am feeling bad because I haven't made any new progress on Roma's mole. Sometimes things come easy and sometimes, they are difficult. I have struggled and struggled with a sketch to make the next piece for Roma's mole and have decided to show you the very lame sketch for the sketch--it just isn't working out--I may give it up for now and do something different just to get it going!!! This would be a companion piece, were I to get it done, to the other from my children's storybook, Jacob and the Sea Witch, or Jacob and the Great Fish. You can see lots of erasures and false starts here. :-(

Splotch Monster for Milo: "Hey, Quit Roughhousing!"



Here's one of Steve's Splotches which I made into not one but four Monsters for Milo's pocket--"Hey, Quit Rough-housing, someone might get hurt!"

The original Splotch is shown below.

This probably completes my work in and for Milo's mole, which I will soon send off to Mike. We are expecting out of town company, so there may be a bit of a delay, but it is about ready to go.

splotch monster collaborations






Hi all! I guess since some of us are waiting around for some sketchbooks to arrive, I was wondering if anyone here might be interested in trying out some collaborations using some of my paint splotches posted here at my new blog, A Splotch Monster A Day. You can print out paint splotches and draw directly on them, or work on them using software like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Above is an example of some various possibilities and a collab between me, my wife and artist Pixohammer. If you do try some, let me know and I'll post 'em at the blog, along with any links you want me to include to you blogs/sites.
