Sea Lore II
The plan is to print this design on a rustic looking tan/natural American Apparel shirt sometime within the next 3 months. I'll make a final post when the shirts are on the site and ready to go.

Jonah And The Whale (2011)
Yesterday I decided that my "Sea Lore" shirt (see previous post) could not do without Jonah living inside the whale's belly, so I got to work on this little piece.
The image will be shrunk down and placed inside the whale's stomach using Photoshop magic. It will have to be shrunk pretty small (1-2" wide), so here is a nice large version for all to enjoy.
At the moment I am about half finished coloring the "Sea Lore" design. It shouldn't be too long before the final product is out.

Sea Lore (2004-2011)
New shirt in progress. Below is the rough artwork, which turned out fantastic! Next step is to add some color.
The original idea for this drawing was first presented to me in 2004 as a radical "what if" image of a giant squid attacking a ship — plus a ton of other ships from various time periods ... and of course Washington crossing the Delaware needed to be involved somehow.
At the time, I realized that I didn't have the talent or patience to create such an image, so I set it on the to-do list for some tentative future date.
In 2010, I read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge, which rekindled my interest in the "Sea Lore" project. You can see references to this story in the border. And I highly recommend clicking the link above, as the poem is not too long and is an EXTREME payload of brilliant writing.

Lion Baby Sculpture (2005)
This one was made with Fimo, cotton stuffing, cloth, glass doll eyes, lots of hot glue, and some plastic doll appendages. Pretty much the same old materials, but a little imagination goes a long way.

Alice In Wonderland Triptych
A while ago, I had the idea that I would create a final Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass artwork — a nice one that would make a fine end to the series I've been building over the years. I've been working on this image for a long time now, and can't seem to finish it; so much amazing stuff happens in the Alice stories that it is hard to commit to any one image that says it all. Eventually, I would like to add two more wings to the central panel (above), making the final piece a triptych.Also of note, my art got a mention in the article below. Check it out!

We will be selling at Launch this year on Saturday, July 23!
Sorry for the short notice, but better late than never. Last year we had some success there, and it was fun too. There will be an art bazaar and a lot of bands will play. If you are interested in the event check out this website:

Also, I posted a new page to my blog featuring ridiculous cute pets flying through horribly photoshopped geocities reminiscent landscapes — just for fun. Now go check it out!
