Praying Mantis Mugs

"Be Kind To Us"

Drew a mantis head, it’s cool af

If you don’t know already, I love records and bugs. This drawing came about a year or so ago when I first painted a record character on my sketchbook. The idea has been haunting me ever since! Recently, I have been intrigued by praying mantises. They are such beautifully deadly creatures and I just love that about them. They look like aliens from a distant galaxy or something like that. Anyways, I thought I’d combine the two subjects and this is what came from it. I tried to give him a color scheme similar to Mickey Mouse to give him a “friendly” or “relatable” quality. Although he looks friendly, I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole. Be careful if you see this dude lurking in your local record store.

Billed as the tallest, fastest and steepest stand-up roller coaster in the world when it opened on May 11, 1996, Mantis was a destination ride for any coaster aficionado during its near twenty-year run. The ride featured a 119-foot tall vertical loop, diving loop, and the first ever inclined loop. Trains on Mantis traveled up 145 feet in the air, before being dropped back down to earth 137 feet at 60 miles per hour.

I stumbled across this little (approx. 2" long) mantis back in June, 2016. There were around five of them hanging out on a chrysanthemum, waiting patiently for a meal to fly by. Some were sitting on top of flowers, but this one was hiding in plain sight, camouflaged by the same colored stem it was hanging from. Mantids have compound eyes. The black spot on the eye is a 'pseudopupil', making it appear that the eye is following you. Pretty cool.

This praying mantis may actually be an alien from outer space, and is looking at you through your window.
