326s

seen peeking in on the last image, here is a very unusual looking herd...

324 still in progress?

more work on MACRODON #324... still not done?
(because it is too humanoid)

MACRODONS @ PLASTIC AND PLUSH . COM

I recently found this post on plasticandplush.com where my MACRODONS on Etsy get a nice plug (click above image to zoom in). Thanks so much for the nice mention guys!

Check out "Plastic and Plush" for designer toy news and reviews (among many other things on their great web site!).

Also, just a few MACRODONS remain available on Etsy, ← click to get some before they are all gone!

325 -after Emily's sketch (finished!)

MACRODON inspired by Emily's dinosaur figure, now finished with some texture and linework I am really happy with.

325 -after Emily's sketch

Emily's dinosaur drawing is morphing into a MACRODON, with the head transposed from the dinosaur neck area to a small nub on the left side of the figure, and the dinosaur tail and neck now tunred into long rubbery arms for the MACRODON. I like the look of this drawing in progress, but I'll still work on it a bit more...

325 -after Emily's sketch (work in progress)

Emily's drawing seemed like a rendition of something akin to my MACRODONS, so, taking the shape of her dinosaur, here I am sketching out a MACRODON... still in progress... but, I liked what was going on, so here it is above! +some wierdness... damaged image file...?

Dinosaur + Egg by Emily

Dinosaur Momma with egg, sharpie drawing by my talented wife Emily Z.

quickie

I drew this on the box of the MACRODON that was raffled at ARTLAB.

series 1 rare variant

custom drawing for a one-of-a-kind chase variant of MACRODON "4" from series 1:

scrapes #3

posts have been slow-coming this past week as I have simply felt out of sorts, these are all pretty gross, and you probably don't want to see them, but here is excuse #3 anyways.

scrapes #2

annoyance #2 - it doesn't feel like enough to halt the advancement of MACRODON research, but I do feel slowed down a bit...

scrapes #1

after several minor scrapes, bruises, and blisters I'm taking a little break... evidence #1

324 sketch, in progress

this is another sketch from vacation, in progress...

UPDATE: with NEW SKETCHES + PHOTOS of SIGHTING !

After a week of thorough research on the beach in Destin, Florida, the sketch-blog is now updated, with the following new posts (#314 - #323) depicting brand new MACRODON research illustrations. Also, following are some very rare AND amazingly clear photos of a MACRODON in the ocean (!?)

The first image is a simple photo of the beach:

Then something cathes my eye, and I get a quick shot:

After steading my hand I get this killer photo:

An attempt to zoom in for more detail yields a blury shot:

and then... nothing...

Please report any info and/or images of MACRODON sightings to the MACRODON RESEARCH BLOG, and in the meantime, see other MACRODON SIGHTINGS:

323 + reject sketch

...rejected sketch I painted over, below:

322

...for whatever reason this one was drawn in sideways, it felt like it was floating, so I put it in space...

321

I finished this piece once I returned home, I am quite pleased with this final painted version. The initial pencil drawing is still interesting so I posted it as well:

...water stained

320

...a Giacometti inspired MACRODON...?

319

...I'm not sure if this one has a tiny nub of a head or not, so I erased it, but my line was drawn too hard and the mark in the paper remains...

notice

temporary break for research travel... updates in a week...

313

these last few drawings appear cropped, or as closeups, unlike most (all?) previous daily sketches...

312

another work on paper, in progress... kind of a wierd start

311

these sort of wierd gnarly appendages seem to be a reoccuring theme in these past few posts... this is a painting in progress on a 15 x 15 inch piece of rag paper, the wobbly, curly paper can be seen photographed on the hard wood floors of my living room...

310

painting in progress (another 12 x 12 inch wood panel) reminiscent of the explosions and smoke monsters previously seen here, another before and after, still in progress...
