Skeleton Collection

04 - Skeleton

In 2018, I started a set of drawing based on stages of depression. Pre-pandemic this was considered rather morbid by some, but Mental Health is a highly discussed topic now, and I think everyone has some skeletons in there closet. These are a few of mine.

In January of 2018 and 2019 the Motion Guys put on a gallery show at Kettle Art Gallery in Deep Ellum, Dallas TX. I sold several of the final drawings durning both shows.

Angry Cloud

I love rainy days. But it seems every-time it rains someone comes along to tell me how much they do not. They say loudly and without prompting “Don’t you just hate this dreary weather.” It is not a question for them it is a statement, they expect you to confirm with an affirming head nod or an exaggerated “Yeah, awful!”

I love rainy days, they are my favorites, and we don’t get a lot of them here it Texas. But it makes the few we have so much more special to me.

So, when someone who hates rainy days comes along and tells me “No, you don’t, everyone likes sunny days, nobody ACTUALLY LIKES the rain!” I get a bit miffed. And I draw cartoons like this.

I do not promote violence, but some days when those few very particular people get to me I just want to punch the sun. And so that’s how Angry Cloud was born.
He has since become a couple stickers, a pin, and a hat. There will be more to come…
