I did the Art Vs Artist thing on another platform, but I forgot to share it here.

I've done over 1000 illustrations in the last year (342 of them are just freakin' zombies.) That made it hard to compress everything down into one little post. But here are some of my personal faves.
A portrait of M.A. Brotherton, a bald man with glasses and a beard, alongside a cartoon version of himself holding a giant pencil. The text reads: “M.A. BROTHERTON – Doodler | Geek | Advocate.” A paragraph introduces M.A. as an illustrator and creator who fights ignorance, challenges cruelty, and spreads joy, with humor about living with bipolar disorder and being a College of Lore Bard who might multiclass into a Paladin. At the bottom, bold yellow text highlights “FUN FACTS ABOUT ME,” including loving cartoons, self-help books, and holding a life coaching certification. A 3x3 grid featuring colorful artwork by M.A. Brotherton. Each square showcases a unique cartoon illustration, including: - A happy brain-like creature reading a book. - A chicken with a terrified expression surrounded by spirals. - A goofy green goblin with a huge tongue sticking out. - A skeleton zombie climbing a pile of toys. - Silhouettes of three armed characters labeled “Yeti’s Charlies.” - A Christmas-themed goblin version of M.A. Brotherton. - A green dragon reading books with “Book Wyrm” written below. - A pink unicorn with a golden horn. - A goblin lounging under a mushroom at night. A spread of art prints fanned out against a green background. The central print reads “Hello From Alien Beach,” featuring aliens on a beach. Other prints include themes like a food-person D&D adventure, monster mental health, library support, horror movies, and the Eldritch Breakfast Club. Large white text reads: “THEMED MONTHLY EXCLUSIVES ON PATREON.” A collage of zombie illustrations with various themes, including funny, spooky, and relatable moments. In the foreground, a cartoon green zombie wearing a yellow beret and red shirt holds a paintbrush and smiles while saying, “THAT’S ME!” At the bottom, bold text reads: “THE DAILY ZOMBIES – A new zombie adventure or illustration, every day!”

This one comes from a secret encoded message chat in the Back Alley...

#Drawing #Illustration #Art
A red, hardcover book character, anthropomorphized with long legs, dark sunglasses, a blue-gray leather jacket, and gray gloves. It is leaning against a brick wall, with a cigarette dangling from its mouth and smoke curling up. The text "COOL KIDS GET BANNED" is next to it in black, stylized font.

#DailyZombie Creates a New Computer Mouse

On November 17, 1970, the world got its first computer mouse, but the Daily Zombie thinks 55 years without a major update is too long!

It is time for some serious innovation in the field of computers AND mice!

Any app that has a stories feature is going to rug-pull your info for profit...

Temporary content doesn't have a use that isn't shady as hell.

If you see a headline saying the USPS has a "loss," remember it is bunk.

The USPS isn't a business. It is a government agency. It doesn't make a profit or a loss, it merely has a budget.

That's how government agencies work

#DailyZombie has to break the news about pickles and sodium...

It's, like, a real bummer, man... Daily Zombie can't do pickles anymore on account of the high sodium and heart explosions... It's the end of a era... an era of deep love and heart burn...

Microsoft recently forced an update which was coded by AI.

It borked my computer and many others.

AI is not good at anything but tricking people into thinking it is good at something.

If you have any expertise in something, you can see how bad it is at it.

That is universal.

#MyStinkyTober25 - Day 29 - Butt Pumpkins

WARNING: #ButtPumpkins are highly-contagious and do not have a cure.
Take the pills, apply the cream, and NEVER pop them! Butt pumpkin goo is deadly, even from your own butt pumpkins.

THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER!

A cartoon illustration depicting a severe case of "Butt Pumpkins." The image shows two figures. In the foreground, a man with yellow hair and a white lab coat has a shocked, wide-open mouth. A speech bubble points to him, reading, "THAT'S THE WORST CASE OF BUTT PUMPKINS I'VE EVER SEEN." In the background, a second man with a brown shirt and brown hair has his pants pulled down, revealing several tiny, orange, pumpkins growing out of his butt.

I've been telling people for years that bears have swords for hands.

Nobody believes me, so I decided to draw them an illustration so they can understand.

BEARS CHEAT AT FIST FIGHTS!
A cartoon illustration of a fierce brown bear, standing on its hind legs, roaring with massive teeth exposed. Its red, glowing eyes suggest madness. Each raised forepaw is equipped with three long sword blades extending like claws. The background is a fiery swirl of orange, yellow, and red.
