Wallace Beery as Prof. Challenger from The Lost World 1925.

Professor Genial Maltese, Courtney, Juniper, and Bertoldt with octopuses in their mouths. Business as usual. ( No octopuses were harmed in this drawing )

My friend Kazuko Nakiri had been making miniature art gallery dioramas of her work and just did one with my stuff, and I'm blown away! It's a better pre-visualization of how I'd plan a future body of work than I could untangle from my brain, presently. Note the lighter for scale!

"Halloween in the Deep" 2017

Telly Savalas and Joe Silver...hadn't drawn either in a while.

Cubaris Isopods

Details I worked on yesterday on the head of the current project which shall be released as a kit through Artist Proof Studio.

"Don't hide it, provide it!"

From a fireside chat with Juniper Fusion and her guinea pigs, Sparky and Einstein.

This is from the inside cover of a 2024 sketchbook. This wasn't an intentional crossover, but oh, the possibilities. J.H.,the pointy headed character is the creation of @marksunshine.bsky.social

This was a significant Achievement Unlocked moment for me, having two Ultraman Kaiju-Bemular and Astromons, respectively- that I redesigned and sculpted featured in an issue of Hobby Japan. These were produced as vinyl figures by the company Acro in Japan for their 'Kaiju Remix Series'.

Giant Octopus Monster, Tagarl from Ultraman Taro. I've got a fixation on man-in-suit cephalopods.

My first attempt at drawing Einstein, looking very theatrical.

A William Burroughs drawing from 2019.

It's long past Alien Day, but since Hansruedi Giger's brainchild is once more in the public consciousness , I'd thought I'd repost this.

A Borgnine drawing from 2020, right before our reality altered.

Lee Marvin as A-No.-1 from Emperor of the North.

Ernest Borgnine as Shack from "Emperor of the North" 1972.

Thora Birch as Enid from Ghost World.

Some paint guide work for collectible figures/statues I had sculpted or designed. The Gill Man statue for Tweeterhead( collaborative, but my surface details ), Nyarlathotep for Gecco Corp.( sculpted by Daisuke Manno ), and the Turtle Demon and Lizard Demon for the IgoStuff/Acro Kaiju Doom line.

Sketchbook drawings from '23. I've got a thing for eyebrows.

Shrieking things with lots of nasty teeth.....

80s. Fantasy. Horror. Genderqueer Heroes. Bulllies. Neurodivergency. Faes. Majestic Men. Heavy Metal. Rabbits. Devils. Sorcery. Imperators. Mimics. Witches. Paradox Boxes. Princesses. FAIRY DUST has it all! After 1 week, we're £843 away from reaching our first goal! Can you help us hit 100%?

Progress on the Agony Man. Im back to traditional sculpting for the time being, and it took me a while to get my mojo back. This is an apparition I've been drawing and sculpting since the late 80's, and after the move, I needed to manifest him to bless this room I'm currently in.

"The Blob Woman And J.H." J.H. is the creation of my friend @marksunshine.bsky.social I had an acid influenced dream back in 1988 in which J.H. appeared looking like a spiny dried lizard, conversing with Ms. Blob. I worked them into a story where my character, Courtney encounters them.

A young Boris Bocklin.

"Bertoldts and Broomsticks"

ANGEL'S EGG 🥚✨ From director Mamoru Oshii (GHOST IN THE SHELL) and artist Yoshitaka Amano (FINAL FANTASY) 💫 New 4K restoration, supervised by director Oshii 💫 In North American theatres for the first time ever starting November 19 brnw.ch/21wUVpx

Walter Matthau says, "Welcome to Bertoldtland!"

A biomorphic nouveau dress with Louise Brooks modeling.

A sketchbook page from '23.

"Gas Station Sushi" A sketchbook page from last week.

Courtney and her Bertoldt puppet.

And finally, the Cthulhu miniature sculpture for The Doom that Came to Atlantic City. I sculpted this and Tsathoggua in Monster Clay due the novelty of it and quickly realized that for the sake of expediency, I should have stuck with Sculpey, the devil I knew.

A Klum Worm drawn after the Halloween debut. @heidiklumworm

The Azathoth miniature sculpture, front and back.

The Yog Sothoth and Ithaqua miniature sculptures for The Doom that Came to Atlantic City. I did these in Sculpey and nearly went utterly batshit from having to work at such a minuscule scale. There's a reason I went digital!

Shub Niggurath and Nyarlathotep figure sculptures for The Doom that Came to Atlantic City. The latter is based on an illustration by Lee Moyer.

Tsathoggua and Hastur miniatures I designed and sculpted (traditionally) for the game The Doom that Came to Atlantic City, created by Lee Moyer and Kith Baker.

And finally after all the designs, thus far, had been submitted, the word came back that Heidi wanted to go "Full Worm". The design still had optional flipper arms as well as the clitellum band in one version. You just never know what will become a cultural phenomenon! @heidiklumworm

Sketchbook 2023

@marksunshine.bsky.social made this for me on his phone while we hung out at the Americana Kitchen and Bar last night!

These were drawn midway through the design process, and were still in the slinky fetish fashion worm aesthetic. A lot of what I do, clothing-wise was inspired by what seemed to peak in the later 90's with the work of Theirry Mugler and the designs seen in Skin Two. #heidiklumworm

Courtney in creepy andro-goblin mode.

Bertocracy manifest

"Crocopede" 2001

A 2020 sketchbook drawing of Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill the Butcher from Scorcese's "Gangs of New York".

Face membrane designs that would have had translucent segments which would flow with the worm headpiece. #heidiklumworm

Further explorations of what the Heidi Klum worm costume could be. I was still thinking of it as a stylish outfit , having been inspired by the imaginative fetish fashion from the late 90's. When the subject of how much of her face would be seen, Mike suggested a segmented translucent membrane.
