Wilford.


Adventures and Mishaps of a Mysterious Undead House Cat.

Wilford is very sweet and docile. He leisurely enjoys eating his canned Fresh Brain Meat, is fond of playing dead in the street for attention, and occasionally fancies wearing a fez. Good thing he's a zombie kitty or else that lion cut would be a bit brisk. Don't let him fool you, for he is in fact, soulless. You can see it in the eyes!

Another book idea from a sketch a while back. My friends mother actually has a cat that kind of looks like this and I couldn't wait to draw a little caricature of him. This is an un-gruesome version. I hope to make a more (silly) gory version less kid friendly.

Mr. Beauregard


Here's a quick revision of an old sketch. He's a dapper fellow with a few screws loose and a tendency for ankle injuries. Maybe I'll expand his story and start a book project. I'm wondering if there is a market for my style/work, or if I should momentarily work more on adapting.

I made a headpiece to attach a hat for the Dark Arts festival, I was pretty pleased. I used red and peacock feathers (you can't see the peacock in the photo I suppose, but they worked well), a vintage cameo, and a red veil from a different hat. It was very last minute but worth the super glue stuck on my fingers. I attached leftover feathers to a broach and it seemed to work out. I'm considering selling these on etsy or something, but I know there are many headpiece makers and haberdashers already on the site. I would probably try to attach them to vintage hats and jewelry. Anyway just an idea.
