07. Creepy clown
"Clowns always creep me out a little bit. Well, maybe it is the way I draw them that makes them creepy. This friendly fellow is black and white Prismacolor pencil on brown paper."
08. Age ain't nothing but a number
"An aging Motorcycle club member who now just chills in his cushioned chair. BOOM!"
09. Mind shift
"Occasionally I will switch gears and draw with light pencils on dark paper. When I draw with white on black paper it naturally feels appropriate to draw deep sea fish. This drawing is loosely based on a real angler fish. It is a real mind shift to draw white on dark."
10. Frog man
"My take on a frog man. Not the traditional frog man, but a real combination of a tree frog and a man. Really can't explain why I drew this image. So many times the drawings in my sketchbooks are simply flights of fancy with no real direction. This sketch is a good case in point."
11. Pretty
"Can't remember much about this one. She's pretty. That's nice!"
12. Jester
"Just a silly jester. Occasionally I will use some watercolors or watercolor pencils in my doodles."
