Cafe Press Merch that is only for SALE for ONE MORE MONTH!!

Alright so I'm going to revamp my merchandise section at Cafepress.com. What I'd like to see is if anyone would like what I have there before I pull it all. I'm going to get rid of EVERYTHING! So if you think something is cool, then order it NOW!!! I'm going to pull it and you'd have to make some serious moves to get me to get it back up there.

So here's some of the images that I have posted up for some merchandise.

This is a tag-line for the ZombiErotica photograph project that I did a few years back. This design is pretty eye catching. If someone doesn't investigate what it's for, then they probably assume that you like having sex with dead people. http://www.cafepress.com/youdbesexydead

You can get products with this on it at www.cafepress.com/whykickme As well as the book. It's a small and fun collection featuring comics that are about that happy subject matter, RELATIONSHIPS!!!

This lovely page from my book The Naked Tree can be found on all sorts of stuff that you really need. www.cafepress.com/thenakedtree You can buy the book there to. A preferred way to go.

These thoughtful image from 6 years ago is on stuff at this address: www.cafepress.com/swellzombie

This one's cool. I have a coffee cup embellished with this warped self-portrait.

So anyway, dig this stuff while it lasts. But don't worry, there's going to be more SOON. I'm planing on having some prints and posters and other stuff based on my latest works.
Stay tuned for more info.

I'm currently tallying up my own orders. It will be cheaper for ya'll who do it this way, because I'm only charging $8. No shipping and handling fees!!! DEALS!!!

Poster for the Young Sportsmen

So here's a poster that I designed for the Young Sportsmen. It's stirring up a lot of excitement and it hasn't even been printed yet.

If you're in Seattle, check out the show at the Sunset Tavern. They're going to be releasing their new CD that night as well.

Older Comic Strips

So these are just some older strips that I did long ago in my sketchbook. Dig my current daily strip: the Lair of the Psychic Creature if you haven't yet.

New! Animation!

Maldives Artwork

So I've been doing some more poster art for the Maldives. This time for their summer tour down in California and Oregon. Jason came to me with the idea to do a poster that would be an homage to a Time magazine cover done by Bob Peak. It was of The Band. Here's what I came up with and the original cover is below that.

Then Jason wanted a t-shirt design featuring one of my own ideas. So I came up with this. It's possibly going to end up on beer cosies too.

Space Sickness

This was a sort of exercise that I did before the daily comic. I started a new sketch book with this. I wanted to keep the story going on every page. Not planning anything or sketching. Just push the pen across the paper. Of course this ended quickly and I decided to do the Lair of the Psychic Creature instead.

Video by Clear Days Always

So this is a video and piece of music that Clear Days Always did. I don't know why exactly, but it's sort of flattering? It features a bunch of photos that I took. Some I didn't.

There's also a remix of this song at the myspace for a band called Ling Ling.

Toys and sculptures

This is "Tentacle Dad". Custom figure made from Harry Potter and a guy from Monsters Inc.

So last summer I really got into the idea of sculpting and making toys. Jumping on the bandwagon of custom and art toys. Here are a few pieces that actually worked. Some were gifts and some were just for my own pleasure. I hope to keep this up. But you know... there's only so many burners that I can put stuff on. Check out my Flickr site to read more about them.

This was a piece that I made for a fellow employee for Christmas.

These are the outside and inside views of a piece that I sculpted out of scuply based on Heather Walde's drawings.

This is a guy called "Bashitor". He was inspired by the monsters that hero's fight in Japanese live action shows.

The Future is Ending

This is a painting that I've done for a fan down in Texas. She wanted something new from me and this is what I came up with. I work in a video store with a lot of great painted covers for "bad" action movies. Some of the most creative are the ones from the Post-Apocalyptic genre. So I really wanted to try and do one of my own. I came up with the blue grid background because that's just classic for films from the 80's. Then I had the idea for the Title. "The Future is Ending". Seemed strange and gimmicy for that genre.

I had figured in an earlier sketch a guy dressed in black with a sword and a helmet. Once I actually got to laying paint down I just gave him a sword-hand. The Laser rifle, wasn't a conscious take-off of the 80's Lasertag rifle. It wasn't until I did it, did I realize. That gun was the greatest design back in the day too. I thought that the missiles were a good touch. The Stealth Bomber wasn't even a part of my original idea, but I needed something cool to go in that area. So I thought that those looked "futuristic" enough to toss one in. It was either that or a Jeep exploding. The people... well that was just for fun.

Official Cookie Taster

I like to put together sounds that I find interesting into forms that can be... may not always be... refered to as music. I like to think that I just mess with noises. I use samples from movies mostly, but in recent times; due to some hiphop influence, I've started sampling music too. I'm a rebelious fart and I'm not crediting who I snag sounds from. If you ask I'll tell. But don't ask/don't tell. If you know what I mean?

Anyway... I've posted some of these pieces on Myspace of course. The latest is really short and doesn't have me singing. Enjoy it here.

Other than that there are some CD-Rs that I have for purchace on the Self Satisfied site.

The Three Domains of Life

I was feeling inspired to do some photography. Heather has been someone I've wanted to shoot for a little while. So we got together with some PBR and had a good time.

These were all taken in her studio apartment that she has decorated to be a outward expression of her tastes. It was a great place to shoot. I couldn't have staged a setting better. Especially with all the little details. Her clothing was all her own. I picked out the ones I wanted to see her in. The little white one was designed and created by Heather and Elizabeth. There are some stuffed organs that are removable on the front. A heart and a some small intestines.

Heather is a great artist and so she has painting every where. The paintings were great to use in the backgrounds. The huge landscape that she did with the naked rats turned out to become a backdrop and I tried to make it look like she was there in that world.

I used two 35mm cameras. One with a flash that I didn't use all the time. That camera had a blue filter on it to cut down on the yellow lighting. Then I used Heather's Nikon on a tripod. That was nice because it had a little zoomy lens.

bad spock drawing

Here's what I've contributed to the Bad Spock Blogspot. I also gathered a bunch from my fellow employees at Scarecrow Video.

Monster Buddy

So I'm happy to let you all know about The Mutated Skeleton Cave. A bigtime Monster maker!!I found Aeron's artwork about a year ago when I was searching for information on toy making. He was interested in making little figures of his monsters. Why? Because it would AWESOME!! I had no info to give him so I just enjoyed his art.He's made up SO MANY monsters you wouldn't believe it. They're cheap to own so I would really recommend those with $10 to throw around get some original monster art.Thanks Aeron!
