Think Positive

I may have posted this on Facebook at some point, but I thought it was perfect for right now. It's from yet another image series that I hope to turn into a book. Each image depicts the same hapless little bear faced with a different nightmarish, hopeless situation, accompanied by an inspirationa...

"Ectoplasm"

Grayson Fogg graces us with another piece, a painting of a couple of witch sisters who specialize in ectoplasmic magic, or the extrusion of charged, energetic matter from their own bodies. This ectoplasm can be formed into talking heads through which they glean hidden knowledge and news from the &#3...

Moonlight (Abbey and Paris pinup)

This is the first of the recently-discovered cache of unfinished pinups to be inked. I always thought it would make a cute T-shirt (too bad I didn't have it out in time for Valentine's Day), but I penciled it back before the wonders of print-on-demand made merchandising possible for aging st...

Geisha Abbey

One of several pinups I've done of Abbey as a geisha. My long-time patron who has commissioned these historical pinups taking advantage of Abbey's persistence through so much of recorded civilization is a stickler for detail, from woad on Celtic warriors to a geisha's application of Koma...

Aviatrix Abbey

Mr. Halliwell

I know someone here said they'd be open to seeing Grayson Fogg content as long as it's sculptural. Well here you go. This is Mr. Halliwell, a kindly old gent who'd give you the shirt off his back if you needed it...and if the shirt of a four-foot-tall pumpkin man would fit you, I suppose...

Two Gentlemen Ghouls

I haven't shared any Grayson Fogg work in awhile, so I've got several today. The above is a graphite portrait called "Isaac and Bartholomew". I like how--to me--it seems like these two may not get along all the time, in fact Bartholomew (the one in the hat) is probably mean to Isaac ...

"Southern Breeze"

Bonus post! Here's a theme I've revisited several times. I love the playful, classic pinup feel. This one will be color. I'm probably going to put the final image on merch as well, if I can ever get a response from Teespring on whether I can have a second account (for Grayson Fogg)!

Meg Con Sketch

Hey, all. I just wanted to touch bases and let you know what's going on with me these days. I know most of you are probably itching for some actual comic content, and that's coming. I have a couple more commissions to do, then I have a big commission, in the form of an adult Far West short. ...

Abbey and a Demon (Commission)

You might have noticed that--and there's no polite way of putting this--in commissions of Abbey, her ass is often the, uh, focus of attention. I suppose this should come as no surprise; in fact, I am largely responsible for this. It's the way I draw her rear end, it's just such an irresi...

"Tiptoes" (a Beauties and Beasts piece)

Here's another Beauties and Beasts sketch, just completed. It features my favorite character of the series, Captain "Googie" Gugowski. In the finished piece, it will be night, hence the sleeping alien critters (they're known as "slugjaws", by the way). Maybe that's how Go...

Finally...!

(This was supposed to be a link post, but for some reason Patreon isn't registering when I paste the link in the field. So I'm having to do this as a text post, with the link down below, in the body of the text. This is also the fourth time I've had to do this from scratch, thanks to var...

Voluptuous Vampire Vixens, Cover #2

If you saw last week's post, this is obviously the second possible cover for Voluptuous Vampire Vixens, my planned tome of illustrated alliterations. I like both, but as I said last time, this one will probably win out, for practical reasons: There's more room for the title on this one, and ...

Even Vampires Get Bed-Head

Y'know, when I get out of bed, my hair looks insane--or rather, it makes me look insane. (I've actually considered dressing as a mad scientist for Halloween by simply leaving my hair as it is when I get up and spraying it white). But women look adorable in the morning (even if they don't...

A (Hopefully) Fun Little Distraction

Here's something silly to occupy you for awhile during lockdown. Word list is on the side... or you could try it the hard way, searching for words without looking at the list. But on the serious, this ain't easy. Words can appear vertically, horizontally, diagonally and backwards. Have fun--...

Hmmmm...

I just got a commission from the person who commissioned this piece, which reminded me that I'm pretty sure I never posted it. I think I went way more mild with hit that he wanted, but I kind of like that loaded moment, not knowing what's going to happen next. (Is Meg going to belt her one o...

Art for Sale

Hey all. You probably haven't heard, but there's this whole virus thing going on with lockdowns and closed businesses...it's a mess. Lots of folks are struggling financially in the absence of regular income, and one of the ways to make ends meet is sellin' stuff. The patron behind th...

Ming Dynasty Abbey

My longtime patron who often commissions images of Abbey in different historical costumes has a much more expansive knowledge of period and cultural dress than I do. I usually have to research and study to get the details right. I'm sure many of you are wondering, "What's wrong with nude...

Voluptuous Vampire Vixens

You've all seen material for a book I hope to publish, called Beauties and Beasts. The other book project competing for my attention is Voluptuous Vampire Vixens, a collection of macabre alliterations, illustrated. For example, I'll come up with an alliterative line like, "The gargoyles&...

Characters from an Adult Short

A few years ago, I contributed to an adult anthology comic from Radio Comix, called Poundcake. The theme was plus-sized women. I did a short set in a fantasy world, in which a shy, chubby lady laments to her blacksmith friend that she can't get any guys interested in her. He reveals that he'...

Mystery Character

This isn't what I was planning to post today; it surprised me when I stumbled across it looking for something else. I don't remember exactly why I drew this, or who she's supposed to be. Pretty sure she wasn't attached to any project, I just wanted to draw a faerie.

Above and Below, Finished

Well, here it is, finished. I drastically underestimated how long it would take to clean up this scan. I'm going to have to find an ink that produces true, deep, even blacks, without splotches and weird reflective areas. I also need to just rescan an image when there are too many cat hairs on it...

Watch Out, Red Sonja

This was a commission, so it's not necessarily canon in Abbey's backstory, but I have to admit it would be fun seeing her hacking her way through orcs or evil sorcerers or whatever the hell fantasy warrior chicks hack their way through.Barring any more disasters this week, look for bonus con...

Untitled Possible Beauties and Beasts Sketch

This one may be a bit difficult to make out on a small screen; it has a lot of detail for a sketch. The living creatures are made of carved stone, and the stone floating above the female figure's hand will be glowing and casting colored light over the scene.I wanted to have the finished, gray-to...

Last Abbey Commission (of this Series)

Here we have the last of the series of Abbey pinups I was recently commissioned to do. As I think I mentioned before, the pieces were to become increasingly daring/lewd as the series went on, hence the use of the "Naughty Bits" banner. I wonder--if Abbey had been doing these as a lover's...

Above and Below

I'm currently working on a commission that's a little more involved than most. Basically, I was given the theme of "above and below" (my words): a cutaway depiction of something happening above ground, and whatever is happening directly below. I brainstormed a list of possibilities, ...

Nessie and Kat

This one's pretty straightforward: a pinup of Nessie and Kat getting familiar (which, let's face it, would probably happen within about thirty seconds of them meeting). I don't actually remember if this was a con sketch or a commission. You do enough stuff, and sometimes it all starts to...

Convention Sign (Abbey)

Here's a rare little tidbit. Years (and years) ago, my publisher asked all the artists to make up simple "Be Back Soon" signs to put on the table when we weren't there. I was a little embarrassed when I got there and saw that everyone else had actually registered the word "simple...

Fire Shares a Moment with Gus

Here's a commission of Fire (from Fire & Brimstone) engaging in what has got to be her favorite pastime. What makes me say that? Well, she's getting her back pasture plowed by almost literally a bull--a minotaur's gotta be pretty close--and she looks like she's saying something to th...

Beauty and Beasts, "Cardio"

Another Beauties and Beasts piece, obviously. This is one in a growing series within the greater series, featuring Space Captain Gugowski, AKA "Googie". ("Googie" is the name for that particular style of retro futurism envisioned by futurists in the '50's, so I thought it was...
