White Elephant Sketch

Think you got something nice for Christmas? Well here comes White Elephant to poop under your tree and replace your stocking stuffers with pre-sucked lemon wedges. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

Sketch: Science!

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I had chose a different career. I think this is roughly where I would be if I were a scientist. I'm amazed how many careers seem to end with me smearing make up on a pig...

Sketch: Taco Man

If taco bell had a face, this is what it would look like. I'm pretty sure he has a flask of stool softener in his back pocket.

Can't Stop. Won't Stop.

GO! GO! GO!

Tah Daaaaah!

"A Boy Named Sue" Revisited

"My name is Sue. How do you do? NOW YOU GONNA DIE!"

This is the second old piece to get a facelift and is based on the Johnny Cash song of the same name. As a side note, I just learned the other day that the song was written for Cash by Shel Silverstein. Am I the only one amazed by that?

You can check out the old version of the piece HERE

Dabblin' in the Dribbbles

I recently started an account on Dribbble that you can check out HERE. It seems to be a really welcoming community with some freakishly talented people, so I'm really excited to be a part of it.

I'm probably going to use it more for works-in-progress and keep the blog for final pieces and bits of sketchy nonsense. Which means, if you want to stay on top of what I'm falling behind on, that would be the place to do it.

It's also fun if you like to type a whole bunch of "b's" into your address bar.

"Luck of the Cricket" Revisited

I recently decided to touch up some old portfolio pieces (and destroy some others) and the first one to get a fresh coat of paint is the "Luck of the Cricket." I've always liked the layout and color scheme of it but recently, I realized how horrible the actual painting is. You can check out the old version HERE and have a nice laugh.

In short, the piece is based off of the superstition that a cricket on the mantel is good luck.

Hopefully, I'll have some time to touch up some more of these and maybe even do some new, original art. I may also bench press a car. Ya never know.

Bigfoot Funk Shirt

A new shirt is in the shop! Based on an illustration I did a while back, this shirt allows you to flaunt your love of sasquatches, bass guitars and covering your nipples. You can customize one of your own HERE!

Note to Self

Sometimes, I think my memory might be fading. A few years back, I never needed to write down anything, but now it seems like I'm constantly jotting down assignments, song titles and countless other reminders. Give it a few more years and I'm sure this will be an accurate depiction of my work space.

Anyway, this is one of the first time's I've done a piece entirely in on the computer. Even sketching was done on the ol wacom tablet, which is something I'm trying to get into the practice of doing. I think it helped me loosen up with shaping (it's so hard to stiffen up and prematurely commit to designs when undos flow like cheap box-wine).

Oh and some new tee designs are on their way. Probably ones that aren't as disturbing as the banana one....probably. If you have any suggestions or requests, feel free to let me know.

Bananaman Shirt

So I doodled this a few months ago during a meeting and John Olson pressured me into slapping it on a t shirt. Now you, your children and everyone you've ever loved can enjoy the results of peer pressure by going to my skreened shop and picking up one of these classy numbers. Just pick your shirt style, color and size and be prepared to be mauled by a fleet of whatever you find attractive. Don't be surprised if people mistake you for a model.
