If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," or "Transformers."

#smonster #frightfall2025 #retrosupply #illustration #digitalart
An illustration of Frankenstein's Monster and his undead bride driving a classic red convertible down Route 66. The Bride is behind the wheel as Frank adjusts his sunglasses in the passenger seat. They are laughing at something, clearly enjoying themselves. Good for them. The same illustration, as a black-and-white work in progress

This was my other idea for the Ben Cooper prompt earlier in the month. Nothing is wasted.

18/31: Local Legend

The Borrego Sandman is said to roam the Anza-Borrego Desert in San Diego County. A 400-lb yeti-like creature, with white fur and glowing red eyes, I just assumed, it being a native San Diegan, that it also skateboards.

An illustration of two children, each a giant cartoon bone, excitedly running on a sidewalk, trick-or-treating. The bigger non child, dressed in a dog costume, races slightly ahead of his little brother, who is dressed as a ghost. They each carry a plastic candy bucket that looks like a classic jack-o'-lantern, with the addition of bone-like protuberances on its side.

Halfway through Fright-Fall seemed as good a time as any to remind people they can buy my drawing on stickers, shirts, etc, at my store. My favorite entries from the month are available now, and if I post something you'd like to see printed on things, let me know.

10.1/31: Mummy

I posted a version with flat colors earlier, because I've been hitting the vintage comics look pretty heavily and wanted to change things up. But dang it, the comics version looks so much cooler to me that I'm posting it, too.

#frightfall2025 #retrosupply #digitalart #illustration
A vintage comics-style parody of the classic Coppertone baby ad. The baby has been replaced by a mummy, and the little black dog pulling at its wrappings is styled after Anubis, the Egyptian god of funerals and guide to the afterlife.

5/31: Ben Cooper Costumes

#frightfall2025 #illustration #digitalart #comics #grownups
A 3-panel comic strip. In panel one, two hands hold a box that reads "COSTUME AND VENTILATED MASK - FUNCTIONAL ADULT." The box bears the Ben Cooper Costumes logo, and a cellophane panel displaying the mask within: a smiling face of a very ordinary-looking man. Panel two shows a hand ripping open the box, with an appropriate "RRRRRRRRRRIP!!" sound effect. The third and final panel shows a man (presumably the prefer the hands we saw earlier) walking down a sidewalk. He's wearing a normal business suit, but he's also wearing a Ben Cooper nylon smock that looks like the chest of a business suit, and the previously-seen mask is now affixed to his head with a stapled rubber band. As he also does the street, wind blows his costume smock and leaves tumble past. In one hand he's carrying a briefcase, and on the other, a trick-or-treat bucket that resembles a jack-o'-lantern.
