Very interesting style you got there, RC. Reminds me a lot of a Robert Crumb and that guy does Japanese horror comics Junji Ito.

Yes, I draw pictures.

Well-lets see 'um!  :thumbup:

I was more influenced by Will Eisner. My favorite artist. And Jack Kirby-who's style is not all all like my own-but he had a cinematic style-try it make it catch the eye.

GURK! 

I mainly do cartoons.

I did a series of dragon cartoons when I was in college. If I had a working scanner, I'd scan them and post them on reddit or something.

Someday my prints will come....

You draw well and imaginatively, RC. Ever thought of pursuing this professionally?

I drew for the Lawton Depot newspaper for 15 years.

I used to draw cars, but I moved to drawing stuff on the computer with programs like AutoCAD

And some stuff with Revit:

I love your stuff, RC. You have an open invitation to contribute something to my Yearbooks.

Reminds me of Mike Diana. Loved his style but hated his content, much worse than RC's. (Diana's pictures were about child abuse).

Alright, from what I can tell Yahoo doesn't keep the rights to pics you post on Flickr, so here are a few of my drawings:

I like the snake!  :thumbup:

Here's some zombies I drew a few years back.

The one on the upper left is supposed to be a classic EC Horror Comic "old school" type of zombie.  The middle I calll "Monochrome zombie" cause he's supposed to be from a black and white film. Blue face is more a "reanimated" zombie, that is, he's not killed by having his head cut off.  And we got Wind Chimes, whom I didn't realize would be cut off by the edge of the paper. Then there's Sailor Boy, Worm Face (probably the weakest looking of the bunch) and Splitz. 

I like the guy holding his own head! And monochrome zombie.

A cat-human character I'm working on:

I'll finally answer this and say, no, RC, I am a terrible artist. My sketches are more offensively bad than Vogon poetry. My drawings look like a Dropkick Murphys song that's taken physical form after being played backward. My zentangles are so lame they make my youngest two children giggle, and my oldest take pity on me. What leprosy is to the body, my drawing skills are to the world of art. In fact my drawings are so rotten I am a little surprised some flake like Yoko Ono or Dieter off SNL has not come along and found deep meaning in them, commenting that:

"After they make me projectile vomit your drawings remove my eyeballs and place them in my navel, returning my imagination to a state of nourishment via the umbilicus. In short I love them."

I am the reigning genius of sucking at art.

Some anime-styled women I've drawn (sorry I can't do color and these are written on the back of karaoke slips):
