Such Misfortune

Boozers

A few months ago I bought a nice set of drinking glasses with great boozer graphics. I was able to scan and clean up the images. Classic.

Super Sun Softy

This is a giant sun I made for the Plush Show at Gallry 1988. I also made some little clouds to go with him. Hopefully there will be room in the show for all of them.

Ready-To-Go Layouts

Last September I blogged about a book of stock letterheads that I had. Well this weekend I found a book of stock Ready-To-Go Layouts. Classic and fun design from the 1960's. Now I am on the lookout for volumes 1 and 2.....

Box O' Shakys

Well the new shipment of Shaky Bacon dolls are here. The last shipment went real fast so don't delay. They are $10 + shipping. I will have some in my ETSY store or just email me to order. These were made by the always fine people at Monkey in a Dryer, visit them for all your silk screen printing needs.

Ryan Heshka

I ran into Ryan Heshka's incredible painting on the Cartoon Brew site and immediatly tracked down his webpage. What I found there was a great body of work influenced by all the stuff I love but with a real personal sensability. I knew I had to have one of his paintings but they all looked so great. WIth a little further investigation I saw that he did commisions. I have done a few commissions myself and have found the process very rewarding so I contacted Ryan. Ryan turned out to be super cool and we talked about ideas and ended up with a spooky forest scence which had as the central character my own dog Maizie.

Well just yesturday the finished painting arrived at my door and it is a stunner. My only problem is now I want another one! Also with the painting I got Ryan's self published book ABC Spookshow. This little powerhouse of a book features his artwork in full color glory and is not to missed.
