Fell Porpoise

I just Googled the phrase "fell porpoise" and came up with nothing.  Nada.  Zippo.  Not a single webcomic.  Not a single blog.  Not a single hipster making a pun along the lines of "no one could fathom his fell porpoise...no matter how much it chittered and squeaked."  Nothing.

Interwebs, you have failed me.

You have failed to come up with every possible inane notion or idea before I have a chance to.  SO I CLAIM THIS ONE.  THE FELL PORPOISE IS MINE!  MINE I TELL YOU!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Take that, Interwebs.

Uh oh

How embarrassing....

I seem to be stuck on a root vegetable theme.  If that is so, so be it.  I'd include an in-depth description of who these little spuds are, but to be honest, I haven't the foggiest.  In fact, I can go so far as to say that I don't carrot all.

Sketches

I recently realized that there's no reason that I can't post sketches in addition to the fully finished (or at least as fully finished as they're likely to get in my hands) drawings I normally put online.

By the way (for those who arrived late), my lovely wife is now setting her thoughts on the subjects of frugality and ecological responsibility adrift upon the breezes of the interwebs at ecofrugality.blogspot.com.  Check it out if you get a chance.  It's far more interesting than this stuff.

Improbable hybrids

A couple of new drawings.  Drawn for a contest over at DeviantArt.

The premise is that they are the products of genetic engineering gone wrong, the first a monstrous cross between Homos sapiens and Aquila chrysaetos, the second a more innocuous cross between two organisms whose names I can't recall at the moment.  Perhaps a polar bear and a Vidalia onion.

It is actually an interesting exercise to imagine what a hybrid between two or more distinct species might look like.  It's very difficult to avoid drawing chimeras.
