Uzi Monster


The Uzi Monster has no social skills. Asking for a cigarette is one thing. But asking for one's gun is not even acceptable in some of the most human societies. Some may feel sorry for him and let him have his way, but ultimately that would only exacerbate his disease. Don't you get it - He's spoiled rotten, because of other's kindness - he's been killed with kindness!

No Cussing

This monster looks confidently adamant about enforcing violations on his beat. No badge, no medals, no walkie talkie. Just good old intimidation. O yeah, he is carrying a stick of sorts.

Candy Sawhead


That awful candy from Christmas - that's what his colors suggest to me. This monster has a saw head, thus his name "Candy Sawhead." He is coming out of his wrapper - a sort of rebirth, yet his facial expression reveals his anxiety at still being imprisoned in the form of a consumer product. Is he freer without his wrapper? Who knows for sure. He needs a home - buy him and use him as the framed mascot above your candy dish. Original and full of personality - Candy Sawhead. Only $149.

Caliko Monster


The name "Caliko" was inspired by my fondness of cats that color and the speckled patterns on carpet foams. What's in Caliko's hands? That's one of the things I want to ask him. I would guess he has a needle, thread, and an arrow, but who knows, I was only the drawer. Original monster drawing $185.

Easterman Monster


From my monster pages around April in the mid 1990's. I just named this one Easterman, not only because today is Easter, but because he brings to mind the Easter Island statues. I went bike riding today with my wife in the neighborhood I grew up in and there was a replica about 2 ft. tall of one of those statues in someone's front garden. I will sell this pen and magic marker drawing for $195. I can't tell you why I was compelled to draw some 100 monsters in April in the 1990's.

Magic Marker Monsters


From left to right, Quaad, Inca Ray, Diplo, Magi Blue, Rye Catcher.
In the 1990's, pages of monsters emerged in my art journey. They became a magnet for color as I used magic markers to give form to my penned shapes. They had an eerie nature that suggested that the right spell could bring them to life. I wrote in my notes, as a description, "...combining the primitive with the technological, the ancient with the present." I will be posting more soon.
