Angka: A fabulous bird in the folklore of the Middle East described as having a human face and resembling a Griffin or Simurgh. It was said to inhabit the Kaf Mountains, where it devoured anything living it came across. It was so successful that it hunted everything to extinction, resulting in it's own demise.

Here's a very special Holiday Edition from my Dictionary of Mythological Creatures.

"The Alabastor: A Semisupernatural Being in the folklore of the Mari Peoples of Northern Russia.
It manifests the bath houses of humans as a giant with long flowing hair. It's activities include sexual intercourse with humans, and it punishes those who overindulge by providing such sexual excess as to cause their death from exhaustion. The attentions of the Alabastor may be discerned by a sore left on the victim's lips from it's kiss. The Alabastor may be defeated in two ways, either by catching it and breaking the little finger of it's left hand, thereby breaking it's power, or by placing a cross over each door, thus preventing it's entry."

Happy Holidays!

Here's the only part I like. It's based in Philadelphia in 1976.

Here's a crazy job I just had. Doing a poster for the live action Disney movie "Invincible" starring Mark Wahlburg... (here's the good part) for a Korean Airline's Inflight Magazine. I know it doesn't look like Mark Wahlburg, but they said they didn't care. It's based more on the guy the film was made about named Vince Papale, he's way more fun to draw. I'm sure if Disney had any idea how their film was being marketed they'd have a fuckin' heart attack.

Someone contacted me about doing a piece for a show about drawing a 1950 Ford from memory. I couldn't sleep so here it is.

I saw this little bastard at Seven Seas Taco stand on Sunset
