Two Predators in their mid-60s perform songs they downloaded to your iTunes without permission

Predator: Dadbands (2025)

I know have essentially no followers on here so I am basically just screaming into the void but I do, in fact, have to have a small rant about this and similar sentiments I’ve seen this week.
You can actually make a point without shitting on the South…

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," or "Transformers."

An illustration of Frankenstein's Monster and his undead bride driving a classic red convertible down Route 66. The Bride is behind the wheel as Frank adjusts his sunglasses in the passenger seat. They are laughing at something, clearly enjoying themselves. Good for them.

The same illustration, as a black-and-white work in progress

An illustration of a white yeti in a west coast desert at sunrise (or sunset), sitting on his skateboard while scrolling on his phone

18/31: Local Legend

The Borrego Sandman is said to roam the Anza-Borrego Desert in San Diego County. A 400-lb yeti-like creature, with white fur and glowing red eyes, I just assumed, it being a native San Diegan, that it also skateboards.

An illustration of two children, each a giant cartoon bone, excitedly running on a sidewalk, trick-or-treating. The bigger non child, dressed in a dog costume, races slightly ahead of his little brother, who is dressed as a ghost. They each carry a plastic candy bucket that looks like a classic jack-o'-lantern, with the addition of bone-like protuberances on its side.

18/31: Bones

A young child witch reads from a spell book next to a cauldron. In front of her, a half-man, half-toad creature writes in apparent agony. An older witch leaves over to the young girl and says, "That's right, dear. Just sound it out."

A selection of wonderful merchandise available at Real Fake Things

Halfway through Fright-Fall seemed as good a time as any to remind people they can buy my drawing on stickers, shirts, etc, at my store. My favorite entries from the month are available now, and if I post something you'd like to see printed on things, let me know.

#frightfall2025 #retrosupply #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a punkish vagabond with a four-leaf clover for a head, wearing a blank leather jacket and a t-shirt for a bed called the Broken Mirrors. He's leaning against a brick wall, flipping a coin and smoking a cigarette with a menacing expression on his face.

13/31: Bad Luck

#frightfall2025 #retrosupply #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a candy apple on the floor next to an outstretched hand. A missing bite and the impact mark where the apple apparently hit the floor make it resemble a skull.

12/31: Poison

#frightfall2025 #retrosupply #digitalart #illustration

An illustration of a grave, with the Statue of Liberty's torch-bearing hand emerging from the dirt, as if undead. The dates seen on the tombstone are Independent Day (July 4, 1776) and Trump's reelection (November 5, 2024).

11/31: Zombie

I know illustrators who use subtext, and they're all cowards

A vintage comics-style parody of the classic Coppertone baby ad. The baby has been replaced by a mummy, and the little black dog pulling at its wrappings is styled after Anubis, the Egyptian god of funerals and guide to the afterlife.

10.1/31: Mummy

I posted a version with flat colors earlier, because I've been hitting the vintage comics look pretty heavily and wanted to change things up. But dang it, the comics version looks so much cooler to me that I'm posting it, too.

A parody illustration based on the classic Coppertone tanning oil ad. The tone girl has been replaced by a mummy with furry wraps and lumpy green skin, and the little black dog pulling their wraps down is stylized after Anubis, the Egyptian god of funerals and guide to the underworld.
