Drawlloween Day 5: laboratory
Do you know there are real mad scientists in our world? According to @peta “More than 100 million animals suffer and die in the U.S. every year in cruel chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics tests as well as in medical training exercises and curiosity-driven medical experiments at universities.” Animal testing is cruel and unnecessary in this day and age. Be aware of the products you use, they could be conducted by mad scientists.
I drew amanita muscaria, the most easily recognized “toadstool” according to Wiki.
Drawlloween Day 3: cryptid
I’ll never forget the first time I saw the Jersey Devil. It was late fall of 1992, I was driving home on the AC Expressway in the early evening from a class at UArts when my junky car broke down near exit 17. Only rich people had car phones back then so I had to walk to Wawa a couple miles away to call my stepdad to help me out. As I approached the Wawa I saw a sketchy figure hanging out by a trash can under the yellow lights, it was the 13th child himself, being ignored by customers coming and going. He was asking people for cigarettes or change. I quickly ran in the store to avoid eye contact with him but as I was getting my coffee and cellophane-wrapped pre-cream-cheesed bagel, I thought that I should give him a dollar or two since I was a kindred spirit in need of help. When I came out of Wawa I handed him some change and he said, “Thanks, Boss!” Then he climbed into the driver’s seat of an idling teal Geo Metro with Pearl Jam blaring on the radio and drove off. I waved to him and then realized I didn’t have any change left to call my stepdad. That’s what you get for helping cryptids.
Happy October! It’s been a while since I’ve done a Sketch of the Day so I’m thankful for some inspiration and motivation from Drawlloween. Today’s subject: witch

Happy Memorial Day weekend from our family to yours! If I haven’t told you 50 times already, my great-uncle wrote the summer classic, ‘On the Way to Cape May.’ This is my little doodle of that ditty, inspired by my dad’s account of his trips to the shore with his family. I took some liberties with the model and make of the Country Squire, but the rest is based on facts from my dad’s stories.
