LEE’S DRAGONS: DOG DRAGON
September is a month for dragons in our household. Ten years ago, I started the tradition of drawing a dragon for my wife that she can use as her desktop wallpaper, since she works in IT and has to sit in front of a monitor all day. The project has evolved over the years, which I've talked about before, but just to recap (since I don't think anyone follows me closely enough to be expected to remember): I started out just drawing random, semi-stereotypical dragons. I soon hit on the idea of drawing different types of dragons that would
A Fist Fight With My Brain
I have come to the realization that, for the majority of my creative time in 2026, I have been engaged in a fist fight with my Brain. Let me attempt to explain. Generally speaking, I have been struggling to get what is in this lovely Brain of mine out through my fingertips. It’s not necessarily a new problem, but sometimes it’s a lot worse than others. I’d say this year has been as bad as it’s been in a long time. I started the year returning to character designs for my Plunger Monkey graphic novel project. I had four
Happy Mother’s Day 2026!
Another year, another milestone. But before that, Happy Mother's Day to my lovely wife, my amazing mom, and all the other mother's who have had an impact on my life. One day a year isn't an adequate thank you or recognition of all the love, support, and effort you have all put in, but I hope you know I, at least, appreciate you every other day of the year as well. And now for this year's card for my dragon-loving wife: No, this isn't a repeat of last year's card, but it is similar. Last year I decided
INKTOBER 2025 Wrap Up (and a little life catch up)
Hey! Long time, no see. Or something. Well, I am finally done with Inktober 2025. I usually spill over into November, but I don't know if I've ever spilled over into December. I thouht for sure I was going to be more on schedule heading into October this year. On paper, I should have more time on my hands to spend in the studio. I finally stepped down as scoutmaster of our local scout troop after almost 8 years and 15 total years of volunteering. I'm still registered and help out from time to time, but my weekly commitment is very minimal.
LEE’S DRAGONS: PORCUPINE DRAGON
Another year, another dragon. I probably say that every year, but I don't care. For anyone new or for anyone that doesn't remember (I don't assume anyone follows me closely enough to remember these things), many years ago I started a tradition of drawing a dragon for my wife's birthday that she can use as her PC wallpaper. She sits in front of a monitor all day for work, so this is my attempt to make her often challenging, long, and frustrating days slightly better. Aside from being my best friend and the love of my life and all
PMD Arcade Cabinet: A Peak into the PMD Monkeyverse
Now that it's been a month or so since I finally finished and delivered this project to my brother, I figure it's time to take a closer look at it for those that wish to indulge my obsessive tendency for details. To recap, sometime around Thanksgiving 2024, my younger brother told me he, as part of his renewed interest in retro games, purchased a table top arcade cabinet kit that he planned to install the buttons and an old laptop and monitor or something to make an all in one old school gaming machine. He asked if I wanted
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
