Dope Rider, "Bong Trip"

Sometimes I get inspiration from a book. I read a biography of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, who once told his studio musicians to pretend they had been swallowed by their instruments. It occurred to me that Dope Rider might be swallowed by his bong.

Skeleton Cowboy

 I saw this Halloween lawn decoration advertised in my Facebook feed. Pretty cool and ridiculously cheap, but I've had mostly bad experiences ordering products shipped from god-knows-where and advertised on Facebook. One didn't come, another arrived broken, and others were nothing like what was depicted. 

Dope Rider, "Face Off"

Obviously, I'd like all of my Dope Rider strips to be equally good, but because of the way I work, revising the art and the copy until the last minute, I never know how they're going to turn out until they're done. Sometimes they're as good as I had hoped and other times I'm a little disappointed. This one is among my favorites.

Dope Rider, "Redline"

 I saw an anime, "Redline" (2009), that impressed me a lot with its crazy energy. I thought I'd try to approximate that level of energy minus the animation.
