Frankenstein's Monster

Frankenstein's Monster back from the dead.

Frankenstein's monster has been a classic horror icon since the book first appeared in 1818. Written by an eighteen year old Mary Shelley he is probably the most recognisable horror monster of all. The creature was apparently created from parts of dead bodies, and not all of them human. The reactions of the people he met drove him to seek revenge on Victor Frankenstein, his creator, which is why he looks a bit on the grumpy side!

Of course this doodle isn't the most horrible version, I think he's quite cool. Definitely looks like he's out for revenge though!

You can get hold of him on some cool stuff at the Doodle Dojo store.

I Want my Mummy!

Epic Mummy by DoodleDojo

Following on from my last post (sort of) here's a mummy's head. This is a slightly more traditional egyptian mummy. The Egyptians used to mummify people by pulling out their internal organs and drying out the remains of their body using salts. The organs were placed into jars and buried with the mummy along with treasures for the dead person to use in the next life. Thankfully (or disappointingly?) no mummies have ever been seen coming back to life. But I suppose there's always a first time. 

I'd be pretty fed-up if I'd spent the last few thousand years trapped in a stone box with a bunch of treasure. Especially if I'd been promised a luxury life in the next world! No wonder the ones in films are always groaning and moaning and chasing people about.

 Haven't done a tattooed one yet, but the idea is still bubbling away back there in the depths of my head.

Anyway if you like him, go and have a look at the store.

Bonkers Bat

Bonkers Bat T-Shirt by DoodleDojo

Bats! With their horrible flappy little wings, their big hairy ears and their pointy little teeth. They are so cute! Unless they are after you of course. Even hiding in the dark won't save you, they can see with their ears (sort of). In the immortal words of Meatloaf, "Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes." I don't know what he meant really, but its a rock classic.

Bats are very misunderstood in reality. Most of them eat insects, which is good if you hate moths like me. A lot of them eat fruit, which is not scary at all. And just three species of bat drink the blood of living creatures while they sleep. Yep, it only takes a few to spoil it for everybody.

But if you love bats then you need a t-shirt with this picture on it. Or maybe a bag, or a keyring!
