NEW DRAWINGS FOR SALE!
Here are the past few months worth of drawings culled from my sketchbook and ready to be purchased.
Rather than pulling out my cellphone whenever I get antsy, I pull out my sketchbook to calm my nerves. Instead of being a responsible artist and drawing from life or doing studies, I've been filling up the sketchbooks with these creatures.
This is your opportunity to endorse my compulsions and simultaneously decorate your home with an original ink drawing by me!
All these drawings are available here: https://payhip.com/CHROMEFETUSCOMIX/collection/new-drawings

WHO ARE PRONG & PREEN?
The question has been asked before, although never by anyone in a position to receive a satisfactory answer.
Prong and Preen appear to be two inhabitants of the same world. Whether they are neighbors, enemies, accomplices, or merely recurring inconveniences in one another’s lives remains a matter of interpretation - and, occasionally, property damage.
They have been observed moving through a sequence of illustrated incidents involving unauthorized machinery, territorial disputes, contaminated domestic rituals and objects of uncertain purpose.
Their activities are presented in the form of picture narratives, a method of communication in which nothing is said and very little is clarified. This eliminates dialogue, exposition, testimony, and several otherwise useful avenues of appeal.
The pictures are therefore presented as evidence, although evidence of what has not been determined. The prudent reader will refrain from assigning them a meaning.

NEW DRAWINGS!
A recent surge of nervous scribbling produced this assortment of peculiar creatures, oddities, and questionable lifeforms - many drawn while trapped behind a convention table for two consecutive days.
After repeated demands from the public (or at least a few people online), I’ve decided to offer them for sale. These strange little beings are now available for adoption.

Through intense, unsettling, and surreal scenes, The Gloaming pushes the limits of genre, delving into uncharted territories of desire, conflict, and transformation. A true visual statement that blends graphic art with themes of rebellion and the unorthodox, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the unconventional, while questioning the boundaries of what is considered acceptable.”

The State Of The Goddamn World
Announcement: Due to the current trade war, I can no longer afford to ship books outside the U.S. - unless international customers are comfortable paying an additional $60 - $100 in import fees.
This is unfortunate. Many of my most erudite and literate readers live outside the U.S., and they are now effectively priced out of access.
Perhaps, when things settle down and sanity returns, weird art and culture will be allowed to move across borders again.

NEW OPENING DATE at OUTPOST 186!
You may have seen this before - and no, you’re not hallucinating.
The original opening for Untimely Monuments got completely obliterated by January’s East Coast Megablizzard. Rather than gamble on more weather chaos, I pushed things out a bit.
NEW (and hopefully final) date:
Sunday, March 29 at 3 PM
Outpost 186
186 (rear) Hampshire Street
Inman Square, Cambridge
Same show. Same drawings. Slightly less snow (presumably). The artist will be there in person to gesticulate inarticulately for your edification!

PRONG & PREEN 01
https://chromefetus.thecomicseries.com/comics/395
Here are a couple of new characters I’ve been meaning to draw for quite some time. Consider this an introduction, or at the very least, a trial run.
As much as I’ll probably never be entirely finished with Cochlea & Eustachia (I’ve been drawing them for literally a quarter of a century), it feels good to wander off and spend some time with a different cast once in a while. I even have several plotlines planned for them, which puts this project dangerously close to being “organized.”
I’ve also been wanting to try my hand at completely wordless comics - an interesting challenge, especially when it comes to communicating plot points in an already inscrutable surrealist comic strip.
More to come!
