Hypermorph Drawings and Miizzzard versus Wojrollox Paintings

My blog and site are mostly done, but I’m still tweaking. I’ll let y’all know when I stop tinkering with this. Please let me know if anything’s broken or looks weird.

I went to Houston this past weekend to clean up my old room at my parents’ house. I had to sort through so much artwork, so many drawings of cyborg dragons and spike- and muscle-ridden dinosaurs. It gave me some ideas. I’ll scan some of my old drawz to post eventually.

More importantly, my Hypermorph show at Domy Books Houston went down on 10/21 so I’m free to post everything. Over the next week I’ll be posting what was on each wall. Here’s a shot of the opening with the eastern wall that I’ll post details from this time:

Here are detail shots of all the artwork.

The eastern wall has a symmetrical sequence of drawings and paintings. It is bookended with two india ink drawings of hypermorphs. Here’s the first one:

Hypermorph #103

The next four paintings depict a battle between the Miizzzard and the Wojrollox. On each side, there’s a portrait of the ancient antagonists. Here’s the portrait of the Miizzzard:

The second painting shows the Miizzzard transforming and multiplying to meet the Wojrollox, who approaches in his battle planet:

In the third painting, the Wojrollox and the Miizzzard fight. The Wojrollox chomps the Miizzzard, and in retaliation, the Miizzzard zaps the Wojrollox and deploys killer frogheads:

The Wojrollox Chomps the Miizzzard; the Miizzzard Attacks with Frogheads and Laser Visions

The final painting is a portrait of the Wojrollox:

And the final drawing is another hypermorph:

I’ll post the work on the other walls over the next week.
