Threadless Tshirt Design 01

I submitted a design to Threadless.com and they approved it. So now it's in the running for a chance to be printed and sold to millions. Well... millions I don't know.
If my design recieves enough high scores, we can get this shirt in print and on the backs of the people. With your help and five of your friends and five of their friends this can be done! Think of AMERICA!

Clausmopolitan

This week when coming up with a new comic, the deeply buried holiday cheer in my heart spurted out in this very jolly watercolor. Clausmopolitan a lifestyle and culture magazine for and about Santa Claus. An obvious spoof of Cosmopolitan (the ever enlightening) magazine with relative articles to the big guy.
Ever since I made this piece I've gotten tons of compliments and so I decided that maybe I'll make it available to those who like sending out cards and the like. I love doing it, but I'm horrible at actually doing it. Anyway, you can find some Clausmopolitan products here at my Cafepress Card Shop.

Thanks a bunch. Happy Holidays.

Note regarding the prices: Cafepress has a base price for their products. I cannot chose to price anything lower than that and if I don't adjust the price higher than I stand to make $0. I personally feel that the base prices are far too high, but what can I do? What I've done is marked everything up $1, to keep everything as cheap as possible and maybe make a few dollars. Obviously not enough to buy that new car with, but... maybe lunch.

New T-shirt Designs for Kick Me

To go along with the Kick Me graphic novel anthology that I've published on Cafe Press I have t-shirts and other fun merch.

I just designed a new shirt for the hell of it. It's a colorized version of the contents page in the book. It really sums up the depressive heart breaking feeling I tried to convey in the comics.

A New Blog for Artists I Like

It's called Masters In My Mind

http://mastersinmymind.blogspot.com/

I've decided to start a list of artist that I've been inspired by in one way or another. This will be on going, due to the fact that I'm never at a loss for inspiration. This internet thing brings me great pleasure.

steel-of-fire-warriors-2010 poster

Here's a digital painting based on the short film serial by Kevin Clarke and Travis Vogt titled Steel of Fire Warriors 2010 A.D.

Major inspiration was the legendary poster artist Drew Struzan who has recently retired from making movie posters full time. Read his own comment here and weep hard. The worst part of this is that Struzan was one of the last to actually hand craft a poster for mainstream films and their franchies instead of just mashing together some photo-manipulated crap together. So long, you will always inspire me.

Art Show at Bus Stop Espresso

Here's some shot of the art that I had displayed at the Bus Stop espresso and coffee shop in Seattle. It's month long (June to July) showing is coming to an end now and I want to thank everyone who bought pieces.

I specificly want to thank my young fans. One of them was so inspired that he created his own monster and it was hung up next to my pieces. It fits perfectly. Thanks Samuel.
