Creepy Clown

Clowns are all a bit creepy

Presumably there are people in the world who think clowns are funny and nice and friendly and all that nice stuff. I do not think this way myself, I just guess that there must be some of these people, otherwise clowning as a career would have died out a long time ago. I guess its partly Stephen King's fault, with a bit of help from Scooby Doo and Batman, but I think clowns are a bit weird. Slightly scary even. So when I  decided to draw a clown, this is how he ended up. To me this is what clowns are all about. Trying ever so hard to be fun and jolly, while actually ending up being scary and slightly evil. Come to think of it this guy is probably quite a lot evil. But I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Just a quick edit to say this has been submitted to Illustration Friday as a 'scary' drawing. Hope you like it!

As usual this picture can be put on many items of your choosing if you visit the all new(ish) Doodle Dojo Store.

Dastardly Dog

Dastardly Dog is not cute

Dogs are usually thought of as cute, cuddly, obedient, happy, man's best friend and all that stuff. Not Dastardly Dog. He's bad tempered, mean, moody and doesn't do what he's told. In fact even Barbara Woodhouse would probably give up on this one. As you can see, not your usual dog at all, and I'm not just talking about the shape of his head. Or the fact that he's purple. Don't ask why, he just is ok? Just don't try to pet him if he's not in the mood, those teeth are sharp! So if you would like a dog that's a bite out of the ordinary (I know, I know, classic stuff!) then this is the one for you.

You can get loads of Dastardly Dog stuff at the Doodle Dojo Store. There are T-shirts, hats, badges and more. Get along there and see what suits you.

Update: The Dastardly Dog mouse mat got picked as one of 'Todays Best' on Zazzle! Hurry along and have a look while he's in the Awards Showcase.
