Hey look!I still make and post art here, unfortunately I'm only able to do it in my "free time " which is why my posts have been a little sparse here but, as always, I'm working on that. - Tim

They call him......Tim
Our Pal Tim is all sorts of good.
Good dude, good Illustrator, good builder of giant easels, good friend, good everything. Exchange those goods for great and my description may be getting close. One of the most generous Artists to paint with, happy to throw down and amazing, upside down frog or to be the glue, painting in background elements or give things just the right touch ups to make other elements shine. He possesses a keen eye, a quick brush and a steady hand and we are fortunate to to have him as a fellow Monster.
Want to see Tim for yourself? Going to be in Columbus, Ohio July 18,19? Then stop by the Small Press and Comics Expo THIS WEEKEND at the Northland Performing Arts Center. And while you are there make sure to see some of our favorite people: Clare Kolat (conveniently located at the table next to Tim), Angela Oster and Ashley Ribblett!!!

| 2015 Bay Arts "Interns" mural |
Like the Big Lebowski we too get to work with a fine group of Junior Achievers! The last three years we've been invited to work with a few select "interns" for a couple weekends. First weekend getting them comfortable working as a group and the second week, painting in front of an audience at the Bay Arts Fest! We love working with these budding young talents and are always impressed with how well it comes together. If you would like to see these in person all three are lurking at Bay Arts in Bay Village, Ohio! Enjoy!

Ben Brings You The Thing
Still having fun with some speed painting. This one is about an hour and just an attempt to change up my light direction and add some contrast. Took about an hour in Manga Studio. You can watch a time lapse below. See how I completely abandoned my first idea...yep, confidence.

Ben Asks You To Live Long And Prosper
Last February I drew a quick sketch on the day that Leonard Nimoy passed. I came across it again and decided to do a quick paint over. Still playing around with the brushes in Manga Studio. Liking what I'm finding so far.

My drunken drawing from last nights Drink & Draw Cleveland. I used Posca Paint Pens on toned sketchbook paper.

I live, I die, I live again!
Mad Max: Fury Road, if you can draw it's really hard not to draw Furiosa after watching. I did. Intended it to only ever be a sketch in my moleskin and she turned into this. Sketched in my sketchbook, cleaned in Photoshop and finished in Procreate on my IPad. Turned into a fun exercise that I intend to do again.
She started here, watching tv and drawing. Going to blame the TV watching on the wonky eye I caught in Procreate.
And here, the time lapse exported from Procreate.

Ben: Christopher Lee RIP
Its been a long time since I've posted. Hell, its been a long time since I've drawn anything. Today seemed like a good time to jump back in.
It was announced today that Christopher Lee had passed. I don't know his work as well as I should, but I always enjoyed seeing him on film.
This one is done completely in Manga Studio. I was trying out some of the new water color brushes for the rendering and really liked the results. I should have a time lapse of the whole thing up in a future post. More to come.
