Exercising Monsters
Hey! Make sure to check out Exercising Monsters.This one was produced as a framed one-off for my mother. It took me close to 8 hours to complete, which seems like a lot for a Christmas present.
More of the monsters that live in my head.
Based off of a drawing I did for an Exercising Monsters post, this is a revised edition done as a one-off Christmas present for my sister-in-law. I don’t know why the thought of Kamikaze chipmunks amuses me the way that it does, but I stand by this as one of the best drawings I have ever done.
Three proud warriors posing before they give their lives to defend the empire.

- The Videogame Elves: Elves are always big on magic, bows and arrows, and sneaking about in any videogame. Some games have the balls to tell you that the pointy-eared thief you’re playing isn’t elf by naming him a “Bosmer” or a “Dunmer” or a “Tree-Squibber,” but it’s still a bloody elf.

- The Classical Elves: Based on Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Füssli’s “Das Erwachen der Elfenkönigin Titania” depicts elves as most renaissance Europeans would have imagined them: goat-horned drunkards dressed like they’re one step away from a classical Greek orgy.

- The Fantasy Elves: Tolkien really set the standard for fantasy races in his Middle Earth tales (most notably The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings), where he made his elves a race of beautiful, elegant, immortal warrior-poets. They’re interested in archery, lore-making, architecture, and orc-disembowelling.

My mother bought me a set of Derwent Studio pencil crayons. It’s a little tin of 12 colours, but I use them more than my big set of 40-something because there is something so beautiful about the textures that they lay down. Sometimes it feels good just to mess about with them.
