Uncle Ernie's Creature Ink
One consistent element in the art I have done since I was a boy is monsters.
GERR!

Copper Frog Dragon
I was looking for a dragon name to put on the imaginary coin. A site with dragon names I visited listed "Smoug" as a name. I thought everyone would know that was a famous literary dragon's name. After I had already finished the art, I double checked the spelling of the character from Tolkien's 1937 novel, The Hobbit. Oh well! I guess we should trust Smoug, Smaug's cousin.

Smoldering Singing Paper Dragon
Once a month, the illustrator, writer David Petersen (Mouse Guard books) hosts a draw-a-long on his Twitch stream and Discord channels. If I have the time, I always enjoy just having fun and trying new things with making art.

CookieDoodle #8
It looks like you missed your chance to get something from the pie stand Cookie Monster and Grover set up this Autumn. Maybe, they had originally thought about making a profit from their creations, but cooking is a lot of work that requires keeping up your energy. Grover also seems to know that a little rest can be beneficial.

CookieDoodle #7
A unique feature of Topp’s Bazooka Joe was the bubble gum’s wrapping papers that had a comic strip printed on them. Even as a child, the gags were not very funny, but I still always read them. I made a CookieDoodle in a similar style to those old bubble gum wrappers.
Originally, I wanted to use the title for this Cookie Monster version of bubble gum “Bazookie Monster.” I Googled “bazookie” just to check if that word had some meaning. It turned out “bazookia” is a hybrid strain of marijuana, a hybrid of Bubblegum and Girl Scout Cookie strains. I guess another type of wrapping paper would be used there.
