I'm a cartoonist, biology enthusiast and horror fan born on Halloween. I have a life long passion for bizarre creatures of every sort, whether real-world invertebrates from the deepest ocean trenches or buggy eyed space mutants from low budget cinema. I run the modestly popular bogleech.com and have also written for Cracked.

Hey Scythe, I found an official Dungeons and Dragons make-a-T-Shirt contest that you definitely should enter! [link]

Just read your article on Trubbish and Garbodor.
Thank you.

I should do the ice creams too; they're not favorites of mine like the trash bags, but the hate they get is just as unwarranted!

You totally should!
"Pokemon based on inanimate objects? WOW, Gamefreak is TOTALLY SLIPPING."

And really, copying from nature or mythology shows even less effort. The same people who hate pokemon that are "just" objects would probably love a tyrannosaurus that just looked exactly like the real thing with no artistic changes at all :p

DUDE. I just had the best idea.

An arcade-style fighting game (like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dakstalkers, that kinda thing), but the characters are all based on invertebrates. It'd have a scorpion, a tarantula, a wasp, a praying mantis, etc. The stag beetle and the rhinoceros beetle would be rivals, natch, the tiger beetle would probably the fastest character, and the slow heavy-hitter guy could be like a coconut crab or something.

Eh? Eh? :iconcoolguyshadesplz:

Does this signature make my post look fat? Be honest. I can take it.

If I knew how to make games I'd have probably already done that :(

You have a really refreshing approach to creature design, I'm really enjoying your gallery :)

Keep up the great work!

I found more cool stuff! (And you can ask me to stop pestering you at any time. XD)

Anyway, are you familiar with *WeirdBugLady's stuff? She makes these adorable felt plushies of exactly the kind of stuff I see on Bogleech. Without even going into her gallery I saw a weevil, two planaria, a daphnia, three tardigrades, and a mother scorpion with her young on her back!

I'm also a Student CG Artist/Animator, but have decided against pursuing this as a career.

After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.
