Little bloodsuckers are a strange and curious bunch. Always stuck somewhere between teen angst and blind murderous rage. In his one hand is a bloody knife. I wonder what he's got in the other one behind his back.
Just because you've been deemed a "gentle giant" doesn't mean you can't turn on the charm and dish out a little destruction once in a while to blow off some steam. If you're good all year, you can turn on your yellow eye cannon and blast a couple of towns into oblivion here and there. And the best part? There's no one left to tell on you when you're done...now isn't that better buddy?

I sat down, put the beads in my eyes (like dual monocles), and let the glass take over my soul. The next thing I knew I was tearing down the town and an angry mob was chasing the monster (that I now was) with pitchforks and torches. Ink on watercolor paper, 13" x 9 1/2"
King of the hill doesn't really described this correctly. Nevertheless, a multi-limbed bulbous blob sits high atop his boxy perch just waiting for someone to challenge him: suckers and spikes at the ready. Ink and colored pencil on hardboard panel, 8" x 10"
Osh kosh b'gosh! It's a preschooler's worst nightmare. Slathered with the bright tones of primary colors, armed with walrus tusks, and clearly not right in the head. Maybe something from the playskool toy lab went awry. Ink, acrylics, and oil pastel on illustration board, 10" x 8"
Somewhere in the deep dark crags of a little mountain range is a secret government lab conducting freakish genetic experiments at the molecular level. This little guy came prancing out of that hell hole. His life before that day would seem like hell to many but he didn't mind...not at all. The day he left was the day he smashed up each and every person and piece of equipment in that place. Charcoal and acrylics on illustration board, 7" x 5"
I’m just a regular guy who poses as an artist and who also happens to love monsters. While working as an artist, I usually base my pieces on traditional subjects to this area: landscapes, plants, & animals…my style is more contemporary though. Examples can be seen at www.harryboardman.com . I also do commissioned portrait work www.portraitsbyharry.com . I’ve always created monster-related artwork for fun and wanted to share that. [every day]
I can be seen covered in paint or yelling at a little dog named Morty.
It would be great to keep this project fresh and interactive so please send along your monster ideas and tell your monster-loving friends.
