Frontiers collide...

The Palace Guard...

High atop the castle wall, an elite guard keeps watch. Vigilant against... stuff, and... other stuff! Mostly against fish though, and the occasional Polar Bear, even though Penguins and Polar Bears rarely actually meet, what with being from the opposite ends of the planet. Doncha know!!!

The Wild Buncher (cos there's only one)

Monkey Wrench. Leader of the Degenerate Primate Cru, scourge of the savannah...

Croc Killers + Girlbots...

Girlbot! This is what happens when you forget to wear your robot pants. I drew this one while The Daughter was drawing random words (which I naturally had to spell for her). I like the idea that our robot pilot would wear cut-offs under the armour.......

Sometimes you can't predict how the day will unfold. You turn up 3 aces, and then everything goes to shit! That's why you keep a flare gun on hand at all times. I drew this during the same father-son drawing lesson. More to come...

Of Monkeys and Men

Here be the monkey king, all a-floaty and mysterious! (he's talking to the king of rocks, who will not let the pilgrims pass)
Jin Tanah - the spirit of the place (as soon as I know more about the Jin Tanah, I'll write it up, but for now be afraid of his awesome place-based magicks!)



Toyol - the magicked monster created from a dead child, and sent to do evil in the world! Scarier than all heck!
Meanwhile, offworld - a rougher crowd of non-humans you'll find nowhere (ok, you will, but not in this drawings)
And then there was power-armour (useful for washing the car, walking the dog and fighting the mongrel-cur who would intrude upon your post-apocolyptian (is that a word?) idyl!!!
My favourite drawing - all of us, AND it's signed by Wolverine!!!

Meanwhilerer... under the sea. A prawn can't get no respeck!
Nor can a cutey bird. (drew this while on the phone)
Some sort of tin warriorAnd now... I sleep.

Pirates and Puritans and a whole passel o' trouble!

Listening to Hoyt Curtin's EXCELLENT BotP soundtrack and tidying up pics for the ol' Bloggo. What more could a man need?I think this image is Sun Wu Kong the day after his birthday, when he HAS to wear the new hat his monkey-mummy gave him, but he doesn't really want to cos it's a floppy hat, and floppy hats are SOOOOO last epoch, and besides, how will he achieve enlightenment with this stupid hat falling in his eyes allathetime! WARGH!

The Wombat is the sleakest of all water-dwelling mammals. With his thick downy coat and prehensile tail, he is well adapted to the darkest parts of the ocean, where he wrestles with giant molluscs and the occasional recalcitrant zoologist.

This pair set out from Bathurst town at 11am. The puritan stopped to witness 13 times, while the pirate spent his time waylaying coach-tynes and pillaging. Who reached Lithgow first?
With colour, I am still disgruntled and almost peevish!

(I lost this image!!! ARGH!)

So now I am the blogging person, which is the thing to do, so the kids tell me.

Now if you'd join me in this amusement:

1. Pretend I've written something terribly witty and exciting
   (possibly sardonic, definitely cynical.
   ...maybe even hipster-esque),
   
2. nod head knowingly,
   
3. pause,
   
4. read some more,
   
5. now do a spit-take (optional: spurt coke all over expensive new monitor).

The humour, the humour.
