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After years of outdated information and tired stock I got myself on gear and designed new colorful, character friendly business cards.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.

New Cards

For a long time I been wanting to design a new business card, specially one that had my correct information on it. I couldn't think of a better time to do it than right now, at the beginning of a new year. My goal for this card was to make something cute and fun but a bit more professional than my previous card. I am still debating if I should make the corners rounded. What do you think? Did I achieve my goal?

Also in the back burner I am working on a fun octokitty.com layout. Right now it gets re-directed to my website. But I hope to have two distinguishable websites in the future. Probably not in the near future, but soon!

Umpa Lumpas

I'm currently working on the patters for two Umpa Lumpa plush. These characters are for the upcoming art show, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Gallery. Both designs are based on the original character from Willy Wonka and the Chcocolate Factory. The first plush is will be wearing their traditional outfits. The second design is wearing the white suit from the Wonka-Vision scene. You know when the loud-cowboy kids gets stuck in the TV.

More maps, maps, maps

Between going to the Green Market and watching a really good Super Bowl game I sat down and made 3 more maps. I should be all done with the maps and ready to draw some artifacts. Can you guess what I'm working on?

Paranoid Lama Illustration

I've always though lamas were kind of sketchy looking. They always look so laid back and relax, without a care in the world. There's where the paranoid lama came from. This lama is the complete opposite. She thinks the government is out to get her.... yeah the lama is a her by the way. She has a lot of conspiracy theories in her head and knows the black helicopters are keeping a close eye on her. Don't get to close she may bite you. Actually don't get to close to any of them, they look like they could bite hard.

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.
