Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

One teeny, solitary baby stands precariously on Moms scaly leg.

With the art industry being rough at the moment, there has been a growing conversation about how artists can make a decent income doing NSFW (erotic) art.

If you're an artist / illustrator, do you produce NSFW art as part of your income?

NEW "Monsters Teacup/Coffee Mug" artworks are coming! :-)

Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

GO DEEP TO FIND YOUR BLISS
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay
afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.

It was summer, and high in the alpine wilderness of Wind River country, Wyoming, the air was cool.

But there were mosquitoes. Nasty little things that wouldn't leave you alone.

But despite their irritating presence, we hiked through a wonderland of silence and beauty. No little tiny irritating thing, even thousands of them, was going to chase us away from this place.

The Mysterious Monster March: JUST HATCHED
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"The baby shivers in the cold.
His tummy growls and grumbles.
A nearby squabble grows louder.
'Maybe they have food', her thinks,
and follows them into the forest."
