This was my entry for the "BEASTS! Two" book through Fantagraphics Books. They had an open submission call for an vacant spot in the book. It was not accepted, but the winning submission looks awesome. So check the book out when it goes up for sale!

This creature is the Hodag or "Black Hodag". I grew up seeing depictions of this fabled beast on family vacations. It supposedly haunted late 19th Century logging camps and the great Northwoods until it was "captured" by lumberjacks.

That looks frikkin' sweet man. Too bad it didn't win. Your works always take me back to my childhood dude... I wish I had books with your art in 'em back then.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Nicely done! It's got just a touch of Where the Wild Things Are, with a badass, cartoonish flair! Very nice color choices as well
Pesky, very pesky...

Tough luck on the gig.

This is a pretty sweet piece.

This was declined? Knuckleheads! This is beautiful. Great point of view and environment.
It reminds me of the humorous mythical beasts my brother and I concocted when we were teens.
We had a large empty field behind our house that was damp and marshy for about 10 months out of the year. We came to the conclusion that it contained what we called Field Fish. A completely unique to that field, semi-aquatic fish, that could live in and out of the water. It was scaley, spikey, toothy, unpleasent looking, and inedible.
Ah, Memories!

Do not trifle with the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
