Christmas Poster Art

Here is a poster I just finished for the SPGA/Seattle Chapter of the Graphic Artists Guild. I drew all the people separately, then layered them together in Photoshop. My plan is to reuse this art. Next time, I’ll remove some of the larger text, shift the people around, get rid of the Guild logo, and bingo! I’ll have Christmas card art ready to go.

Frosty the Spokesman

This week I have been working on Christmas Cards for folks who want something customized for their company. The folks over at the Neibart Group saw my Moose of Terror comic online and thought it was pretty damn funny. So they wrote up some copy and called me with the concept of Frosty the Spokesman. Above is one of the six panels.

Napkin Notebook Tiki

For years, my restless hand doodled on restaurant napkins—then I left behind thousands of great ideas, along with the tip. One year my wife gave me a tiny little pocket sketchbook, just for capturing all those doodles rather than abandoning them. Today’s picture shows how I take an idea from the sketchbook and develop it into something that’s marketable. Check out the link to see.

Stickman Visits Fabulous Las Vegas

My recent trip to Las Vegas inspired me to do a week’s worth of "The Return of Stickman" strips. How much is pulled from my own personal experiences I will leave for you to decide.

Great Commercial

This commercial is amazing. It is NOT done with CGI. Forty animators took three weeks to do this in the old traditional stop motion way. Before watching this commercial I did not know about Bravia as anything special. Now I'm curious. Freakin' awesome.

Corporate Tiki

I’ve been on the road a great deal. The last two weeks have put me in Las Vegas and Topeka. Of the two, I’m not sure which I preferred. Here is another Tiki taken from my traveling sketchbook. He was inspired by all the convention and corporate shindigs I’ve attended in September.

Talk Like A Pirate Day!

I almost forgot that September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Many years ago, back before Disney made pirates popular, I made a New Year’s Resolution to say “Arg!” to any waiter or waitress who served me. The unexpected growl got a lot of happy surprised looks. It was my best-kept New Year’s Resolution. I got such joy from talking like a pirate that I think we all should do it for at least a day. Feel free to share this graphic with others. Arg!
