Target Low-rider GiftCard

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

An illustration I did of a low-rider car for a Target GiftCard was recently released. The card features lenticular printing, which shows the car bounce up and down when you move the card. The illustration went through close to 17 variations before the final design was settled on. Some of the early designs had “Bullseye” the Target dog riding in the car with the top down (this was my favorite). Other versions had various people in the car, different colors, backgrounds, etc.

I also want to say thanks to all of those who bought Magic: The Gathering Artist Proofs from me over the past month during my big sale. Thanks for being so patient while all of the orders were processed.

Happy New Year to everyone! Now I MUST get back to Rock Band 2 and rock out with my kids!!

Wolfman … er … Wolfboy!!

Wolfboy

If you ever get cornered by this furry little guy, just throw him a bone and you’ll be able to make your escape. But why would you want to run from him? He’s just so cute! That is, until he chews up all your slippers and chases rabbits into your house.

This Wolfboy illustration is one of a series of illustrations I am doing during the month of October to celebrate … what else? Halloween. It’s one my favorite holidays! Check back often to see which of your favorite creatures will make an appearance.

You can see an entire island full of monsters in “Welcome to Monster Isle,” a new children’s picture book from Immedium, Inc., written by Oliver Chin and illustrated by yours truly. Visit MonsterIsle.net to learn more about the book or download some goodies like wallpapers, screensavers, and coloring pages.

By the way, I’ve received word from my publisher that the books have arrived at the distributor and are on their way to stores, YAY!

Dracula

Dracula

“I vant to give you a sucker!”, says Lil’ Drac. This cute little guy is all about giving. He wants to share his Halloween candy, isn’t that sweet? :-)

This piece of art is the second in a series of Classic Universal Monster inspired pieces. I can’t wait to see which monster makes an appearance next. During the month of October, I am creating Universal Monster inspired art and posting it to my blog. Check back often to see if one of your favorite creatures will make an appearance.

Creature from the Black Lagoon

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Keeping up with a monster theme for October, I thought I’d share a little piece of art done just for fun … my interpretation of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Okay, so he’s a little more cute than the original version, but even a creature from a dirty swamp had to be a kid once!

I grew up watching all the classic Universal Monster movies, such as The Mummy, Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, and my all-time favorite, The Invisible Man. They clearly corrupted me and made me the crazy, monster-drawing goof I am today.

Check back often during the month of October as I’ll be posting more of my little homages to the great Monsters of Universal.
