Another sketch that I had to release from my brain. Based on a throwaway line in the newest @glitchprod.com commercial for Digital Circus merch. The Samurai Jack style is definitely fun to work in. Maybe I’ll go back in and add more characters later. #DigitalCircus #Jax
sweatmonstershop.etsy.com/listing/4523... 20 years ago(!) I made a feature film with my friends in college. When we finished post we had DVDs, posters and t-shirts made to promote the film until we got a distribution deal. 1/4
@elcerealman.bsky.social if his Prehistoric variant guest starred on Thundarr the Barbarian or another Hanna-Barbera action cartoon.
Great, got this weird thought out of my head. Now I have time for all the other weird thoughts.
The only proper way to mount a bunch of tube TVs is in a tornado shape so a military cyborg dolphin can hack your brain.
They’re yellow even without the piss. Apologies only to Bill Watterson.
Technically I think Tudyk is a bit of a cheat. I heard him more than I saw him.
The Sweat Monster Shop currently makes a variety of unique merch items for @elcerealman.bsky.social (he’s co-owner), SoCal wrestlers, as well as other strangeness from Wrestling Pro Wrestling and beyond.
So much of his work is on my walls or on my physical media shelves. RIP to a legendary artist.

A Behind the Scenes shot from the teaser we made for the @bashershortfilm.bsky.social #kickstarter. It’s pretty rare to find photos of myself because it’s very common for me to be the one behind the camera. Seen here literally and figuratively.
Thinking I should go full time into being a Pun Art Guy. Seems like a pun time. Or pun-ishing. Also wanted to see how @bsky.app handles pngs with transparencies. Made this fella, and a red one, into stickers: www.etsy.com/listing/4324...
Recently found out Adobe Fresco added vector brushes (they’ve had them awhile but news to me type of thing). Redownloaded it and gave those a spin. Redrew an old design to test it. Really like how easy it is to use and get a finished scalable vector piece that still feels hand drawn. Because it is.
Just wanted to share some of the amazing photos Sami Drasin got of my newest creations for Wrestling Pro Wrestling; Pizzaface and the Cinnabites. You can see them in action on WPW’s YouTube channel now. 📸: Sami Drasin
