A couple of characters from my old Misspent Youths comic book. If neither look familiar it’s probably because neither of them appeared in more than a half dozen panels in the five published issues. The young man with the shaved head is Treacher Murphy. The young lady is his sister Marta Honeydiver. They share the same mother but have different fathers. I don’t remember now (if I ever decided) which is the older of the two.

One from Life
On the left is a sketch from life. That’s Shep Hendrix either reading a newspaper or working on a large sketchbook.
Friday and Gone
And so we arrive at another Friday and me with nothing to say. Again.
With Guest Sketch by David Lasky
Not sure what the fishylipped thing on the right is but the mighty David Lasky is responsible for the dude on the left.
Wednesday Faces
A variety of faces for your Wednesday morning.
At the top left is what looks like a variation on Beastie.
The bottom two characters are Marek and Quince from Bonecage Graffiti the Misspent Youths prequel that ran in the magazine version of Glyph. Marek was a sorcerer who wanted to gain ultimate power by free some ancient Lovecraftian gods. Quince was his main flunky. He’s not looking too good here. At some point I’d planned to have Quince get killed and Marek would bring him back as sort of zombie. This is probably what he would have looked like.
Great Cthulhu
At the top middle, a partial portrait of Detritus.
To the left a fetish mask inspired by African totems.
In the middle and on the right – ?
At the bottom, a Cthulhu combining aspects of the “traditional” Lovecraft version and Matt Howarth’s version from his Bugtown comics.
Monday Morning Nekkid
Another day, another set of sketches.
Old Friends
The rough sketch on the top left is probably Black Molly.
The dude with the shades is an adult version of Moe.
Middle left is Black Molly again.
Middle right is Lili Veracruz.
The lady at the bottom is Beastie.
Black Molly and the Wolf
Not feeling too sharp at the moment so I’m just going to post this page without explanations. Feel free to come up with your own.
Drawing from Life
The car with the tree behind it was sketched from my porch on Earl Ave. All of the rest of the figures here were first observed inside my head.
