Guest Artist: "Destructo"
Gary's oldest son is appearing here again as a guest artist, this time with his drawing of a superhero he created named Destructo. He drew Destructo with colored pencils on lined paper. Gary was impressed with the way his son drew the fists (with each knuckle individually) and the heels added to Destructo's shoes.

Skull in Flames Tattoo
Gary created this tattoo design of 3 skulls in flames with pencil and plain white paper. The design runs more vertically than horizontally, making it better placed on the side of a leg or along the torso.

Sword Fighters
This is one of my favorite drawings. I drew this when I was 14 years old (pencil on sketchpad paper). I've always enjoyed this style of drawing: no color, simple, pencil and shading. I've learned a few new shading techniques since I drew this, and I like to see how my drawing has progressed. I like to re-draw things I've already drawn, just to see if I can draw them better. Maybe I'll draw this one again.
--Gary
*Note: this drawing was too large to scan, so the image is a photo of the 24" x 18" drawing.

Hobbes and Susie
Gary modified this popular picture from the cartoon strip Calvin and Hobbes, which originally has the tiger Hobbes curled up with the little boy, Calvin. Gary changed the child to the little girl, Susie, when he drew this picture for me.

"Gangsta" Cobra
Gary had an interesting special request to draw a "gangsta" cobra, complete with huge, muscular arms and brass knuckles. After getting past the fact that cobras don't actually have arms, and after we laughed about what exactly a gangsta cobra looks like, Gary created this draft, which seemed to be exactly what the recipient had in mind.
