John McRandle

I am an illustrator and musician who has recently relocated to Los Angeles. This is a collection of work I’ve done over the past few years, including my latest project, “2 Dead Boys”, which is my take on the old schoolyard nonsense rhyme. You will also find “The Awfulbet”, the sordid tale of the lives of 26 letters. You can purchase The Awfulbet in hardcover. Please follow me on Instagram and contact me if you'd like to talk about working together. Things I like: Dinosaurs Sharks Skeletons Monsters Zombies Stingrays (Animal & Bike & Car) Cats Cephalopods Insects Glass Eyes

Ampersand Iguana. She is part of my book, Lizards & Birds & 50-cent Words. I'm trying a new painting style! It's a little more time-consuming than my usual way of working, but I'm liking the result.

Occulanus, the God of 20/20 Hindsight. I found him lurking in a corner of my hard drive. He was part of the group of Forgotten Gods that Sean Kabanuk and I were messing around with in Walla Walla in 2004. I gave the original drawing to my optometrist. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the other Forgotten Gods! @bolter9 do you remember any of the others? https://www.instagram.com/p/B-unSxUgwrL/?igshid=ncps58i4iqc2
