March 2009 Overview

The little green alien came back for his ray gun. He didn't stop with the gun. With the help the partying ants, he stole all of closet beastie's toys and treasures. The only thing he left was Baby Beastie's copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. March was another mish/mash of varied drawings. In the beginning of the month are my three favorite cat drawings from photos from a cat show. Scroll down the bottom of the month to see them.

October Update

Last October when we last saw our friends the ants, spiders and bats, they had been busy all month stealing candy and planning their big Halloween celebration. The party had a big turn out and was a roaring success. Among the guests was our friend A. Ghost, who was celebrating the recent publication of his memoir "My Haunted Life", which he had finally completed after much procrastination and frivolous activity. If you didn't make it to the party please click here to see the festivities.

If you look closely, you will see that the party was invaded by some unwanted guests, which no one noticed since they blended in with the crowd. After all , it was Halloween and everyone was in costume. Well it turns out it was an alien invasion. Instead of everyone going home, they were abducted into the far reaches of outer space. Everyone was too high on sugar to even notice.

Just recently, after much searching of the heavens, we were able to get a small glimpse of them through our telescope. There seemed to be another party in progress. Our friend A. Ghost was celebrating the publication of his new book "My Life Among the Aliens".

Since that day, everytime we have been able to spot them, they are still throwing parties. As they say, "Once a party insect, always a party insect".

Hmmm, is that Alien saying something? Click on for a better view.

September 2008 Overview

(Please click on for a better view of the ant's conversation)

In reviewing September I am still astonished that I stopped watching TV. I still watch DVDs but it is so different not to be bombarded with ads all the time. My drawing of Lola is still one of my favorites. For a complete overview of the month, click here.

Homage to Insects

This was kind of creepy for me as I am not a big fan of bugs. The color I added was true to the color in the book. I added what I thought was unusual enough to be interesting.

Vampire fangs with oozing tart tongue

eeewww!

Pumpkin bubble container/ghost writer takes another break from his memoirs

Well it seems the ghost writer would rather be playing than working on his memoirs. At least the ants are having fun.

Okay, I originally gave this cup away to my neighbor Linda when I cleaned out my house earlier this year. I thought I remembered that there was a picnic in the bottom of the cup which I thought would work well with the paper bag/ant idea of the ants looking for food. So I borrow the cup back to draw and find out there is not a picnic in the bottom of the cup but some strange grouping of women playing musical instruments. So since that did not fit in with my idea I cheated and made up a picnic in the bottom of the cup. Thus ends the saga of the ants looking for food. There has to be a happy ending.
