Really? We're at "Z" already? The feeps will be restless! There could be a mob! Carnage might ensue! Indeed, it could turn into a full-blown Zoot Snoot Riot.
Originally appeared as a line art-only page in the Feep Mini Coloring Book. I hand-colored the original and slotted it into the ABC Feep family portrait.
"L" and "M" were the last feeps to get names, because I was having a really hard time finding a pair of words I liked that started with those letters. I finally went with an insider nod to Austin.
Are we at "E" already? Why, yes we are. "Epizoon" essentially means "parasite," though I think we'd all agree that there's no harm in giving up a little blood for such a cute iggle monster, no?
Onward to C and D. The family portrait mat I was putting all these monsters into only had 20 holes, so a few monsters had to double- or triple-up in order to fit the whole alphabet.
On to the letter "B" of the ABC Feep parade. The phrase "batrachomyomachia" is Greek for "the battle of frogs and mice," and essentially means "much ado about nothing."
A couple of months ago I was commissioned to do a series of several feep portraits to be framed together in one of those multi-window mats. Since the piece was to be hung in a nursery I decided to give the feeps ABC names. I'm going to be radical and start by posting "A."
I'm a cartoonist and a sculptor. The cartoons are generally aimed at adults and tend to be Not For Everyone. The sculpts are my Feeping Creatures monster figurines and art, and are suitable for all ages. I do a lot of scfi-fi/comic conventions and art fairs where I sell the Feeps as part of my ongoing effort to increase the number of monsters in people's homes and offices.
I come up with the captions for these photos first thing in the morning, when I'm still half asleep. If they seem a little surreal sometimes that's probably why. You are more than welcome to comment with your own caption ideas.
