31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 30 - Honey Island Swamp Monster

Honey Island Swamp Monster - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh our old friend the Honey Island Swamp Monster. This is a more cartoony version and by far the best I have done of the Honey Island Swamp Monster. He is the only monster to make the 31 Monsters in 31 Days all three years . . . so far, he's a Louisiana local boy could did you expect he wouldn't be here?

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 28 - Death's Brother, Melvin

Death's Brother, Melvin - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

Did you ever wonder if Death had any family? Well yes he does he has a much less successful younger brother Melvin. Melvin is much less a Grim Reaper and more of a Grim Sleeper. Melvin is the guy who doesn't like all the work of taking people to the afterlife so instead he just makes them oversleep and end up late for work and school and stuff people need to do.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 27 - The Mummy

 

The Mummy - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

Well I had to bring back the worst monster of them all The Mummy . . . thanks to Wheatus and the song Teenage Dirtbag for the quote (that I screwed up and forgot to write in the word "Baby" at first).

This makes 27 monsters drawn on the 27th day . . . that's what we call catching up like a boss . . . or an assistant to the regional manager.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 26 - BLORP!

 

BLORP! - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

The BLORP! is another made up creature I came up with . . . well basically he's just a purple slime creature (that's not very original) but what is original is that this creature comes when little boys and girls don't wash their feet he's drawn to the smell of stinky cheese feet and he likes to wrap his self around them and absorb all the funky foot odor.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 21 - Ghost

Ghost - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

I've been wanting to draw a ghost since I started the 2013 version of 31 Monsters in 31 Days and just never got around to doing it until today. I think he came out pretty good for a simple little drawing of a ghost. This reminds me that I need to get back to making comic books and draw the Little Ghostly Ted comic I've sat on for the last couple years.

This monster is called Jeff and he's a "chick magnet" . . . do you really need any more information?

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 19 Crom Nom Invader 7

Crom No Invader 7 - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

Crom Nom Invader 7 is pretty much the worst of the Invaders . . . and we all know how bad Invader Zim was at invading. This guy doesn't even know how to land or crash his space ship  anywhere so he has been floating around space for many years just hoping to invade someone. (yeah he's an original)

This drawing was done in part of an 11" x 17" Strathmore Bristol Smooth (300 Series) 100 lb. sheet of paper with Sharpie Markers, Sakura Pigma Sensei pens and Copic Markerss.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 14, 15, 16, 17, & 18 - The Monster Fight

 

Monster Fight - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

This is a monster catch up Monster Fight (I was supposed to have six monsters in there but it was getting late so I went with five). These are just five made up monsters with no real names. I wish I had made the skull guy doing something more action oriented but the floating yellow blob is pretty fun with his one "POWER HAND". 

I'll only be one monster behind now and I hope to get him done tomorrow along with number twenty as well.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 10 - The It From Planet X

The It From Planet X - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

The It From Planet X this is another original monster. The idea is that he's one of those crazy aliens from the old Science Fiction movies from the 1950's who is happened upon by some astronauts and then decides that he must destroy them and the planet they came from. 

I really like this guy and I think I can use him in a comic book or something.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 9 - Mr. Teeth

Mr. Teeth - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

Well Mr. Teeth . . . Okay this is another made up monster on the spot (I'm so far behind on this). He doesn't really have a story yet but I bet he would eat the toes of bad little boys and girls . . . and he comes on Groundhog Day . . . and demands to be served radishes or he eats your toes instead . . . and he doesn't like the light . . . or the dark.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 8 - Brain-Eating Amoeba

Brain-Eating Amoeba - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

Well all the rage in Louisiana these days is the super rare (although seems to be found everywhere) Brain Eating Amoeba. These guys are real . . . and really dangerous if you get one in your nose. The brain-eating amoeba's are a dangerous thing and if you hear of them in your area make sure you take proper precautions in dealing with them. This drawing is just having a little fun with a current topic and making it into a zombie.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 7 - One Eyed One Horn Flying Purple People Eater

One Eyed One Horn Flying Purple People Eater - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

So do you remember that old song from 1958 The Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley? Well I thought that I needed something new for this years crop of monsters and this one is fun. I wanted to add wings to him but I imagined them being really tiny on his back and as I said before I have been stuck on portraits for these (I think it's the paper size I'm using making me feel like I need to do them like this). Anyway I always loved the song and I thank Sheb Wooley for the inspiration.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 6 - Grey Alien

Grey Alien - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

In trying to catch up on this project I recycled our old friend the Grey Alien as an idea. For some reason most of these have been portraits of monsters (I'll try to break that habit soon) but I kind of like the way some of them are going.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 5 - Troll

Troll - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

For today's monster I decided to bring back the classic Troll. This one is a little different than the one I did a few years ago for the 31 Monsters in 31 Days and I like the hairy warts I did on the old one but this guy is kinda fun too . . . I think he looks like he could live under a bridge.

Weird Beaked Monster

This is just a weird beaked crazy monster I did at one of our Drink and Draw meet ups. I'm not sure what he's supposed to be but I kinda like him.

This was drawn on a 6.75" x 10.5"comic book backing board with Sharpie marker and Copic Markers.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 30 White Lady

White Lady - Copyright © 2012 Kevin P. Johnson

The White Lady is a ghost of a woman who died in some sort of tragic death often involving her husband or fiancé. The White Lady has been reported all over the world  and she is often seen as a precursor of death to those who witness her. There are so many cases of this lady that the best thing for me to do is give you the Wikipedia page for the ghostly White Lady.

Whoooooooooooo a ghost lady,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 29 Bloody Bones

Bloody Bones - Copyright © 2012 Kevin P. Johnson

Bloody Bones is one of those creatures that parents tell children to keep them from being bad. He is said to live near a pond or in a dark cupboard under the stairs. It is said that if you peeked into the cupboard you would see him sitting on a large pile of bloody bones that he had collected from children who had lied or said bad words. Bloody Bones has blood running down his face and appears as a horrible monster. He has other names as well Rawhead, Tommy Rawhead or Hobgoblin.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 24 Flatwoods Monster

Flatwoods Monster - Copyright © 2012 Kevin P. Johnson

So the Flatwoods Monster seems to have a lot of different interpretations. It is reported to be some sort of alien sighted in Flatwoods, West Virginia. I've seen a lot of different drawings of this guy as well as toys and other merchandise and they all seem to be a little different from each other with certain likenesses. The creature is said to have a read glowing head and a green pleated skirt. It also appears to float and have clawed hands and I've seen a few drawings that have it shooting lasers out of its eyes and I decided to use that. There is even a book written about this guy: The Braxton County Monster REVISED EDITION The Cover-up of the Flatwoods Monster Revealed.

 This drawing was done  in an 5.5" x 8.5" Strathmore (400 Series) 60 lb. paper sketchbook with Sharpie Marker and Copic Markers.


I think its an alien,
