Welcome to PooBahSpiel, the online voice and home of the creative mind of Mark Monlux, Illustrator Extraordinaire. Prepare yourself for an endless regaling of art directly from the hand of this stellar artist. And brace yourself against his mighty wind of pontification. Updates are kinda weekly and show daily sketches, current projects, and other really nifty stuff.
This strip was inspired by a pet project I'm working on in which I'm drawing obscure horror movie monsters and aliens. Check out the true origins of Kang and Konos.
I overhead a conversation in a diner where a little kid turned down fries because he wanted the healthier salad option instead. I was impressed by how grown up the little tyke was behaving. And it got me reflecting on the random bits of conversation I heard as kid that caused me to rethink and evaluate.
