A four-year-old came to our table yesterday and started making my figures fight with "RAAR! RAAAAR" noises so I told his concerned parents "It's all good. I do the same thing with these figures at home, only with lots of dice and overwritten rule books."

Dropped off swag for MAYDAY! Underground (Oct. 4-5, Roc Dome Arena) and accepted the organizer's son's challenge: draw Venom

Venom is the best Marvel guy because anyone can draw him; if you can draw sharp teeth and Spider-Man's eyes with your off hand, grats! You've nailed him

#maydayunderground
A pencil sketch I did in a 5" x 7" sketchbook of the Spider-Man villain Venom, with lolling tongue, a clawing right hand, and a clenched left fist.
