Vampires were one of the only monsters I did more than once in my Trash Monsters series. Here's "Velvet".

I'll be posting Trash Monsters on here over the next few weeks, ones I haven't shared yet, because I'm back at work on my graphic novel, but doing the writing part - which isn't easy to share on social media.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
Progress. Managed to get this one done in about an hour and a half, not three hours like yesterday. Gout sucks.
Come see the Trash Monsters tomorrow night at the CALS Rock-it! Lab from 5 to 8 pm for 2FAN.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
Friday! I'll be debuting these Trash Monsters at the CALS Rock-it! Lab from 5 pm to 8 pm. I've been looking forward to putting them all out together and see them as a big group. Come see this new series on Friday the 13th!

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
Still have pain, but I'm drawing. Slowly. I have to stop often and shake out the numbness and pain. But it is getting better by the day, so I'm staying positive.
2 new Trash Monsters - see them Friday the 13th at CALS Rock-it! Lab. 5-8 pm

Scenes from the Somewhat 5 A.M. Studio:
Was able to draw today - first time in a while. I've been fighting a Gout flare-up in my hands, making it hard to hold a pen to draw. Took me about an hour and half to warm my hands up enough to do this. Ouch.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
Even with being down and out for a week with illness I've still managed to cobble together in less than a month 30 of these Trash Monster drawings on reused frame parts. Will debut the full set at the 2nd Friday Art Night in June.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
Wondering where I've been? You'll have to ask that nasty stomach virus I came down with Memorial Day Weekend. Ugh. It's had me down and out for a week. Finally starting to feel normal. I was even able to get up and work in the studio.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
I love these horror-themed Trash Monster pieces. I finished cleaning up the rest of the kickstands from the frames and I have 59 in total - I've completed 24 drawings of Trash Monsters so far. So 35 left to go. Think I can do that many?

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
I know mermaids are often portrayed as something more innocent and friendly, but I've always felt there is a dark side to them. So here is my take on that.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
I did not realize how many freakin' versions of the Abominable Snowman there are out there. There. Are. So. So. Many.
So I'm adding my take here!

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
Some of my favorite horror films are the ones that deal with psychological horror - and deep symbolism. Some of the Trash Monsters will follow that psychological horror line, like this one, that has no implicit monster on view.

In honor of Monday I'm posting this one as an inspiration for you all to go out and be your most beautiful selves!

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
I'm looking to have around 40 of these Trash Monsters done by Friday the 13th 2FAN at the CALS Rock-it! Lab. 9 down, 31 to go! Having fun doing them and they are definitely challenging me.

Scenes from the 5 A.M. Studio:
I cannot stop making these Trash Monsters - too much fun to draw this way! Can't wait to have a big batch of them finished and ready to show in person.

Next piece in the Trash Monsters series. These are turning out to be very fun to draw.
