The Spooky Astronauts Drawing Club

The Maze 2019

Did I mention? I'm also part of a drawing collective, our band is called The Spooky Astronauts Drawing Club. Founded in Spring 2010, originating from my hometown, Hamilton, ON. I like to think of these collective drawings as performative happenings within themselves because there’s no real goal in mind but to make something interesting and anything goes. A documentation of a collection of different minds that interacted with each other at one moment in time.

A group of us get together and do drawings in pencil and eraser. Sometimes we add to each other's work, sometimes we alter. A real collective conscious in the spirit of creation. There's an inker and a digital colourist and voila! Follow us on our Facebook page for more of our wacky adventures into space: https://www.facebook.com/spookyastronauts/

The New House 2019 by The Spooky Astronauts Drawing Club

Pretty sure Jeff started the background here. I think all I did in this one was the worm and maybe a mouse, but I can't remember. I love the cute little snake on the left peeking out, who did that Jim Fitzgerald Jr.? I bet Jim did the furry ladder too. I like the holes on the ground bottom right. and of course the guy in his underpants on the roof with his head wiped away. How did that happen? Was he drawn that way or did someone else come along and do some erasing?! lol

Butt Lamp 2019 by The Spooky Astronauts Drawing Club

I’m pretty happy with the way I nuked this 1 with pink. The pink line on the back wall was a colouring mistake but I kept it because I thought it added to the composition quite well. I’m not sure how this came about as different people added to it at different times. It started out as an empty room with some furniture and slowly the creatures started to filter in bringing with them some curiosities. 

Hi Speed Transit 2019 by The Spooky Astronauts Drawing Club

Um this started with an empty subway, I think by Greg. I didn't feel like drawing anyone inside the subway so I drew everyone on the outside. I know Keegan did the subway ads and I have a feeling Jim did the lone hotdog but who knows. Don't know who slipped in the man on the floor and I can't remember if he came early or after but I guess it doesn't really matter.
