Vote for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

This is my design for a T-shirt for www.threadless.com, all 5 people that look at this blog should join the sight, and vote for me(in a week hopefully, once the site clears it for voting). It's called "Tyranosaurus Rex in Sheep's Clothing". If I win, maybe I'll send you a t-shirt!

Busy Day

Well, it seems the bottle opener was a great success, since I just finished my 4th children's book painting. That makes me....ONE QUARTER OF THE WAY THERE!!!!

Character Sketch

I found out that publishing companies recomend illustrating a popular fairytale as part of the application process. Made sense to me, so I started sketching up a design for my version of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Not quite enough foppish arrogance, but its a start.

Studio Improvement!

As a struggling artist, I find it important to make your studio environment as inviting as possible. That way, you WANT to spend all your freetime there, and hopefully while you're in there you create somehing. That said, I have installed the official Three Redhead Studios bottle opener conveniently located next to my drafting table.

Dog Art

Now, whenever people ask: "Why on earth would you get an art degree? Isn't that just for chumps?" I can laugh in their face and point to my success as a DOG ARTIST!!! For the second year I was asked to design the artwork for the pint glasses for the Pug Crawl....this year the theme is Pugstock. Get it? Its like Woodstock but for pugs. Oh success, you taste so sweet.

Sweden and Helsinki

I thought I'd share some of our travel journal from our recent trip to Sweden and Finland, who knows how long it will take to finish gluing everything in.

beer time

When I get back home from an exotic arctic adventure, the first thing I do is sit back and enjoy a cold, crisp Slingshot ale.

Slingshot is out and it is a milestone for me, since it is my very first REAL commercial product that I worked on. The little man running, the hat, and the slinghot on the neck were drawn by yours truely (about 40 times, since the art director liked seeing his options).

So, when you're at the grocery store, choose Slingshot! At 6.2 abv, it'll get ya drunk!!
