Super Cute Ice Cream

Help me name this super cute ice cream creature.

“My dad is green tea ice cream, my mom is vanilla ice cream and I am almost a banana split. When grow up I’ll get my cherry but first I need a name. What should my name be?”

Day Of The Dead Luchador

A few weeks ago when sending my Luchadores illustrations to print, I couldn't decide which Dia de los Muertos luchador character to use. I went back and forward with no final decision. Then I posted a version of them both in my facebook page to take them to a vote. Let my fans and friends decide which one should be printed. After a few days of voting they still came out as a tie. It was then when I took the only obvious choice I had, print them both. This past Saturday I previewed them at Stitch Rock in Delray Beach, Florida were they sold very well. I'll take that as a reaffirmation that I made the right decision in printing them both.

Shiny New Cards!

After years of outdated information and tired stock I got myself on gear and designed new colorful, character friendly business cards. It was so excited to wake up at noon to the ring of the door bell and a maniac barking dog... to sign for a package and not know what it was.... hopefully it won't explode. OH WAIT! It's my new cards! Oh wow! That was a fast turn around!

Look at the cute bull and the cow jumping over the moon... silly cow, there's only sheep on the other side. Thank you Florida Wholesale Printers for my new cards! Now I can finally give cards away that I am proud off and have all my current information.

Ok, so fine the cards are not "shiny". I am not trying to deceive you, I just like the word shiny. I wanted the cards to have a matte finish, they look more professional* that way... yes I know, there are cartoons on it, but now they are professional cartoons. They have a matte finish after all.




*Why I think matte is professional. Because super glossy cards are for night clubs, which I don't consider professional. So the opposite of super glossy is matte. The End.

Masked Pirates

Meet Captain Ratón and First Mate Skull.

These two cute masked pirates sail the Caribbean Sea in search of treasure. As you can see they are very stylish. Together they hope to use their found fortunes to launch their own line of designer masks. That day could be today, after many weeks at sea they have finally found where "the X marks the spot", to bad they forgot their shovels. I guess the runways of the world will have to wait.

Stitch Wars Stickers

Series available in my shop.

I have a new set of stickers coming soon based on of my plush submissions to the Stitch Wars show. Most of these illustrations I originally created for the patterns, then I put color to decided the fabric. Is a bit more time consuming this way, but then I have a good idea of how the final plush should and mostlikely look like.

I'm not sure the quantity of sticker I'll be getting but I'm definitely planing on putting them up and giving them to friends. I'll have to cut them by hand and then spray them with some UV resistant gloss stuff. If you are interested in a trade let me know. They are close to 3 inches tall.

Set of 7 now availably at my shop.

Monster Pirate

Since I don't have a story or a real name for this guy. As soon as I figure one out I'll post him to Mojizu.
