 SaxophoneIn high school art class, this was the subject to draw one day - the same day my best friend got in a near-fatal car accident and didn't come to school that day (or for several weeks after). He played the saxophone. I remember I drew this with great sadness. (circa 2000) Pencil |  Bass ReaperUnfinished drawing of a grim reaper playing the upright bass. I have the figurine still. Look closely to see the kitty paw print to the right of the bass, courtesy of my cat, Mocha, walking across it while I was drawing. (1/24/06) Pencil |  Flaming ShoesI couldn't sleep one night in high school, so I drew my shoes. Yes, they really looked like that. A friend and I pooled our money and bought them together, and traded them back and forth once a month. Not sure where they ended up. (7/13/00) Pencil |

 KnightDrew this from life - my mom had a miniature knight armor suit thing and I got bored while waiting for a friend to pick me up, and drew it. (3/10/01) Pencil |  HenryA YouTube viewer challenged me to draw out cat Henry in a WWII flying machine. It was fun. (1/6/17) Pencil |  MegatogQuick sketch of my first try drawing a Magic: The Gathering card. (4/25/04) Conte crayon |
 Rainbow DashDrew this for the little sister of a YouTube viewer. (5/2012) Colored Pencil |  PokemonDid this for a couple YouTube viewers. I knew nothing about Pokemon at the time...and I still don't. (5/2012) Colored Pencil |  Nevermore LenoreRoman Dirge was having a guest artist contest for Lenore #14 (I think...) and I entered this. Didn't win, but I'm still proud of it. (/21/2009) Pencil |
 Lenore SculpeyMy first Sculpey attempt. I still have it, and I'm still proud of it. (8/2009) Sculpey polymer clay |  Jack SkellingtonDid this for a YouTube viewer, Matt. Yay, Jack Skellington!

 Anurid BrushhopperUnfinished drawing of the Magic: The Gathering card "Anurid Brushhopper". I nicknamed that card "Job" because of all the spiny things (that look like boils) on his body. (2004) Colored pencil |  Alice in WonderlandDrew a Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland thing for a YouTube viewer. (4/2012) Pencil |  Bunny Body BagUnfinished drawing of my "Bunny Body Bag" while sitting around at a Magic: The Gathering tournament. (12/18/12) Pencil |
 SqueeRe-sketch of Squee from the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comic by Jhonen Vasquez. (5/7/07) Pencil |  Sweeney ToddUnfinished drawing of Sweeney Todd. Totally looks like Beethoven, in my opinion.

 Angel of MercyDrew this from the Magic: The Gathering card. It's unfinished, for some reason. (circa 2004) |  Baker ChipmunkMy mom writes children's books (unpublished, as of yet), and she asked me to do a little drawing for it. It's not great, but I tried. (8/22/05) Pencil |  FernandoOnce upon a time, I had a stuffed penguin named Fernando, and I decided to draw him. The end. (2/10/09) Pencil |

 Vincent PriceI drew this using the cover of Vincent Price's biography (written by his daughter, Victoria). At some point, some red paint got splattered on it, though, so that kinda sucks. (2000) Pencil |  JTHM Jack O'LanternI entered a pumpkin carving contest on the Vampire Freaks website, and decided to to Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. I don't remember what place I came in, but I don't think I won. It was still fun, though. (Fall 2011) |  TragedyI did this for my college art class at Ohio State. It was was my first experience working with liquid ink and a brush. I was pretty proud. (Fall 2003) Ink |
 LionA friend from high school asked me to draw this for him. So I did. This was before I learned proper fur/hair techniques. (8/3/05) Pencil |  Unfinished Doom logoI started doing this for Mike as a Christmas present, but it was too much work and is still unfinished. (12/2/16) Colored pencil |  8-bit Zelda heartsI made these for Mike as a Christmas gift. I added a third one, later. They all hang in our living room now. (12/21/15) Cork board |
 Zelda/Link cross stitchCute little cross stitch I did for Mike. (4/9/16) Cross stitch |  Super Mario cross stitchI spent a couple of months cross stitching this design for Mike's 28th birthday. (7/25/15 - 9/24/15) |  Panda bearI drew this as an addition to the Patreon donation gift basket for Mike - before I even knew who he was. It now hangs in our living room. (1/21/15) |
 "Things I Love"I went to visit Mili for my 31st birthday and we sat on her bed together, drawing. This is what I drew that day. (6/14/15) |  LeahMouse CaricatureMy very first attempt at a caricature. It's not the best, but it's not terrible. (2/20/14) |  Housekeepers vs. Horse FlyWhen I worked as a housekeeper at a hotel, a guest had left the window open in their room and a giant horse fly got in. The head housekeeper and I spent about fifteen minutes battling it before our victory. (8/2/14) |

(3/4/16) Foam board & Sharpie |  Cartoon LinkJust a quick drawing of Link as a cartoon. (7/15/16) Colored pencil/Pen |
 Link riding YoshiMy second painting, ever. I painted this for Mike because he loves Link and Yoshi. I like the way Yoshi turned out, but I think Link looks a look goofy in the face. I'm pretty proud of it, though. (7/15/16) Acrylic paint on Canvas |  Super MarioJust felt like doing a realistic-ish drawing of Mario. (2/24/17) Pencil |  Bottle GnomesI drew this based on the Magic: The Gathering card of the same name. (7/5/04) Colored Pencil |

(12/26/16) Acrylic paint on Canvas |  Mili's InjusticeI was full of emotion about the passing of my friend, Mili, who struggled with depression and tragically took her own life. Some idiot on YouTube posted a heartless comment about it on our mutual friend Sarah's video. I painted this to release my stress and sadness. The white tears drops are painted with my actual tears. (2/12/17) Acrylic pain on Canvas |
 Cartoon Mario 🍄I just decided to do a cartoon rendition of Mario. It was quick and fun. (2/9/17) Colored pencil/Pen |  Weird Heart ThingThis was my first ever attempt at a painting. I was in an angry mood when I started, so I let that inspire me. I really have no idea why it became what it did - this is just how it ended up. (7/7/16) Acrylic Paint on Canvas |
