Image Of The Day: Freak Fest

All right, this is very vintage me. I used to draw stuff like this every day. Just random characters, whose design was fueled by some combination whimsey, hormones and media mind control.

Drawing the "Leather Babe" character in this image reminded me of a large part of why I stopped drawing regularly years ago... my lame tendency toward the politically correct. I realized at some point that I was drawing these impossible women, which of course meant I was an oppressor of women everywhere. So I stopped drawing one of the most fun things there is in the whole wide world to draw. Well, not any more! Tomorrow: Amazon armies! (Not really)

Not surprisingly the Wacom tablet is getting easier to use every night. I'm starting to whittle it down to the same problems I always have while drawing. I have the advantage of unlimited redos, and as many layers of "blueline" as I need to rough out a drawing... but that can't make me any better at anatomy or composition, except through dumb luck...

Lou is my favorite of the three freaks, of course.
