Gallery 1988 is having a show opening January 13 with an Adult Swim theme. My favorite Adult Theme show is definitely The Venture Brothers, heck, I think it might be my favorite cartoon on right now. A fine show, full of fine characters. These are what I made (all acrylic on maple):

    So the goal was to make the characters as ugly as possible to the point that they did not go past the point of recognizability?
    You do know that The Monarch is actually a clone of Thaddeus Venture?
    Or were you just trying to make a Venture Bros version of the “The Eye of the Beholder” Twilight Zone episode?
    So much face-palming.
    Ugggh.
