I have been making my dumb life from drawing my little guys and stuff for more than 15 years now and I would like to continue to and you can help...

A screen print featuring head shots of 8 soviet dogs which were sent to orbit from 1957 to 1966, all surrounding the original canine cosmonaut Laika. A red star and banner at the top reads 'Soviet Space Dogs' next to illustrations of two different orbital capsules used in the program. All text is in Russian. An oil painting of a red human skull with a bright orange outline against a collage of '80s Japanese wrestling magazine pages. Picture of wrestlers, wrestling, and a lot of Japanese text, presumably about wrestling. A digital illustration of a spectral owl, with cephalopod arms where its legs would have been. The owl has two arrows embedded in its ghostly body. There is a stylized human skull tied to the top of its head which also has an arrow in it. Night sky, a bare tree, clouds, and a full moon are the background. A black t-shirt with an image of a Black Crowned Night Heron: a medium-sized bird with a whitish chest/belly, dark blue-black wing tops and crown, a black spearlike bill, red eyes, and proportionally long yellow legs with long toes, slightly webbed standing on a stylized rock, with a green rushing river and blue sky behind. An actual bejeweled black crown is suspended over the bird's head and a golden beam of light is coming from within it down onto the regal heron. All this is within an elaborate frame rendered to look like patinated wrought iron. As part of the frame, arcing over the bird's head on either side of the crown it reads BLACK CROWNED, and below the birds feet are the words NIGHT HERON.

Karloff did the brain transplant to find out where the gangster hid $500K to fund his research, but if you’ve already done a successful brain transplant (by yourself, in secret!) you probably won’t have much trouble getting funding, my guy.

Black Friday (1940) is a very weird Jekyll & Hyde story via a brain transplant (?!) between a gangster and an English professor. Lugosi was clearly there just to pad the cast list a bit. Karloff had more to do but much of it was just having a mustache. But it included this closeup:
A very tight shot in black and white on the face of Boris Karloff. He’s glaring out sternly from deeply shadowed brows and wearing a dapper little gray mustache over his frowny mouth.

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

A man in an electric blue suit with a pink tie operating a hand cranked jack-in-the-box colored gold and purple. The top has popped open and an arm in a blue pinstriped suit jacket sleeve is reaching up and grabbing his face, squishing it into a featureless squish like bread dough. Lettering around all this reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Going to try a thing here... If you want a 9x12 ink drawing of your D&D guy or a pet or an animal you'd like for a pet or something else similar to these, I will draw it and mail it to you for $100. I'll even do a little lettering. DM if interested.
An ink drawing of a tabby cat reclining and looking at you. Some hand lettering says the cat's name, which is Otter. The pen I used to draw it is laying across part of the drawing. An ink drawing of a woman with short hair, wearing chainmail and various pieces of plate armor over a long flowy garment. She's leaning on the hilt of a broadsword and holding a helmet under her other arm. No background other than an outline of tilting Celtic cross gravestone. The pen I drew this with is over part of the drawing. An ink drawing of Edward Gorey as an older man with thin hair and a large bushy gray beard. He’s shown walking wearing sunglasses, a massive knee-length fur coat with a big collar, a chunky knit scarf, jeans, and white sneakers. He’s holding some books under his left arm. Over his head some rough, loopy lettering reads ‘Ogdred Weary’. The pen I drew this with is on top of the paper. An ink drawing of the wrestler Ox Baker, a large, bald man with a huge muttonchop mustache, large eyebrows, and copious body hair. He appears to be shouting something, probably about how he's going to punch you in the heart. He's wearing a championship belt and making some elaborate hand shapes.

A digital approximation of a child’s crayon drawing. Am outline traced around a hand has been transformed into a turkey in profile, filled in roughly with brown, and with the fingers becoming green, red, orange, and yellow feathers and a bird’s eye, beak and wattle added to make the thumb into a head facing to the right. A pilgrim hat with buckle has been put on the turkey’s head and its stick feet are standing on green crayon grass. To the left, either in the distance or much smaller is a stick figure pilgrim with similarly buckled hat holding a hatchet. The turkey has a very roughly drawn speech bubble containing the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
