Here's something I've been meaning to post for a while, but here we go- This was all for my friend's wedding, the circles are the front and one version of back of the program/fan (a summer wedding in southern California tends to be quite warm, so we wanted to make sure the program was multi-purpose, and attached handles). There were four different color variations, each with a different animal fact.

    

Sketchbook Stuff

I haven't posted one in a while, so here's a condensed look at my current sketchbook.

Voting for a Toucan

Last one, guys. Just a simple toucan up for voting on Squishable.

As usual any voting you could help me out with is super appreciated, and I thank you.
Have a good day :]

  

Sbux Cup: Sharpie Attack Edition

So, Starbucks has these $1 reusable cups for sale right now, and all the partners got a free one, so naturally my first inclination was to doodle the bejesus out of mine.

 

 

 

Awwwww yisssss.

Votin' for dat Warthog.

I promise there's only one more coming up. I think. I'm pretty sure. Uhhh...
Anyway, so up now, and for the next 10 days, is my design for a squishable warthog.
(Voting is right here)

Voting for a Rather Disgruntled Looking Gorilla

It's that time again. Yet another of my designs is up for two weeks of voting on the Squishables site. This one is, obviously, a gorilla. He's kinda angry, but I mean... It looks like he's going to have a rough time trying to walk and stuff.

(Here's a super handy link to the voting page)

Thanks, guys.

Omg I want to edit this design so bad. Curse you, time machines!

Voting for a Fancy Hamster

Voting just opened up for another round of the Open Squish project at Squishables, and for the next 2 weeks this little guy will be up for tallying. If you could take a moment to vote for Lord Fluffy von Weaselnitz it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. 

(The link is right here.)

Type Doodle

Doin’ that Type thing again.
Lyric was from The Killers’ Spaceman (“Spaceman says everybody look down- It’s all in your mind”), but it’s kind of lost without the first part of the lyric, so… Oh well.

So, voting just opened for the Blue-Footed Booby Squishable designs.

Heeeeeey, how's it going. For the next 24 hours a mini voting round specifically for Blue-Footed Booby designs will be open, so please check it out and vote for me.

Here's my submission, and a link for voting.

Please vote right heeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeee!

Squishy Bits 5

Now for the Tom Cat design. 

I'm really sad about it, because I'd love it as a toy, but oh well :/

"A graduate from the school of hard knocks, and raised on claw sandwiches, he is the most hardcore of hardcore kitties."

And rejected Turkey. He has a cute head.

"I hear there's one turkey a year that gets pardoned by the president of the United States... How can I get in on this, is it some sort of lottery? Do we take a number, or is there some sort of golden ticket deal? Come on, man, help a brother out. What if I just say I'm a tofurky? Nobody really eats those, right? Yeah, I think I'm gonna change my name to Tofurkey."

Squishy Bits 4

 It's getting towards the end of the month, and Squishables is pushing to finish cutting submissions down to prepare for voting, which should be up fairly soon, so I've got a few more rejections to post.

First up: Clydesdale

"With the lofty dreams of a future pulling wagons of beer this little guy hopes to follow in the family business. Providing humans with intoxication is all part of the long term plans for planetary domination."

Next: Giggly Ghost

"This terribly happy ghost, is less interested in haunting and more interested in saturday morning cartoons, so if you could just change the channel, that pony show should be on right about now...."

Sometimes this is a thing that happens.

Present! A hula dancing T-rex.

Squishy Bits 3

Now it's time for the Pug design I made for the Squishables contest.

Seahorse

Super old, but ran across it, so here's a seahorse...

Squishy Bits 2

Rejected Goldfish design for the Squishable competition. I pretty much knew this one was going to be nixed, but it made me laugh, so, whatever.

Squishy Bits

So there's a competition over at Squishable for new designs, and I need money, so I made one, but that turned out to be really fun so then I made a whole bunch.

Here's a Killer Whale that was rejected, but I really like, so... Yep. Present!

I'll put another up soon.

Brunch

I went to a brunch meet up thing today and naturally ended up drawing all over the table. Sorry about the shadow, we kind of left in a hurry.

Fahrenheit 451 book cover

Fahrenheit 451 book cover I started in 2009, I think? I didn't want it to be like all the others I was seeing with fire everywhere, so a quiet viewing.

oil painted forever ago. modified and text added in photoshop.

let's see what blogspot does to my colors....

Logo and business cards

I did a logo for the law office of Lytle & Barszcz. These are a few of the many logo roughs that were turned down. The gavel was just a doodle, but I zoned out and vectored into an illustration.

They pretty much knew where they wanted to go with it, though, and here's the final product on a card. (The gray is just a place holder for where metallic silver is planned to be printed.)

I guess this is a thing I'm sort of doing now.
