“The Curious Cabinet of Mr. Calimari” Today’s title refers to the silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” so I guess that is why the similar-sounding “calamari” is spelled wrong. (I don’t know why “automaton” was spelled wrong on day 25 though, so it may just be the list maker […]

“Frankenstein’s Other Creation” For today’s challenge, I unwisely got way too complicated and decided to not only replace the usual Universal classic movie version of the Bride of Frankenstein with the character “Frankenhooker” from the 1990 camp classic of the same name, but I also wanted to have the monster […]
“Interview With a Chupacabra” My newspaper cartoon deadline day doesn’t let me get much other drawing done, so I was late in the day creating my illustration for this Anne Rice-sounding prompt. I chose Charlie Rose for the interviewer because his set is spookiest and easiest to draw. I also […]
“Charlie and the Self-Aware Automaton Factory” I almost didn’t get this one done today, but here it is in the evening. What if those Oompa-Loompas weren’t really just weird, human slaves, but self-aware automatons? I think all those “accidents” could be explained by the human0-exterminating O.L. A.I.

The Asheville Renaissance Hotel was host to the NCLGISA 2018 Fall Training Symposium and I was one of two caricature artists that drew several of the attendees. These are the photos I had a chance to take while there:
“Bigfoot: Lost in Manhattan” I really need to prepare for a caricature gig for tonight, but luckily, my decision to “ape” the post for Woody Allen’s movie, “Manhattan” made it easier to get the challenge done today, since drawing silhouettes is easier than doing all the details of things in […]
“Race You To Dead Man’s Curve!” Trying to think of a dark, scary Halloween take on this, but also adding some humor, posed a problem. I thought of having the curve made of an actual dead man, but then the racers would have to be something so small that a […]
“A Troll to Remember” All I could think of, was there was a movie called “A Night to Remember”, which was about the Titanic, so I basically used the main couple from that movie poster and used a troll instead of the male. I put them under his bridge, as […]
“A Mirror at Midnight” This one stumped me on what to do. I first thought “mirror” and thought of Alice through the looking glass, and then the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland and I thought of what might be a mirror image of that Disney innocence. I ended up […]
“Who Drank My Potion?” Just pretty much redoing what happened in the classic Warner Brothers Looney Tunes short from 1960, “Hyde and go Tweet” with Tweety Bird, Sylvester and Dr. Jekyll.
