Had these made to add as free giveaways to add to online orders. They are 2.75" x 2.75" on vinyl.

These freebies will start to be used in early March! They still need to be printed.

WHEW!

Okay sorry for the MASS flood of art today.


I'm trying to get this place back into shape. I update so many different social sites with my work EVERY day that i totally neglected this one. I really like the simplicity and drama- free aspect of blogger so I'll be here more often in the future. It will probably just be the juicy stuff, art that i think is strong enough for my portfolio.

So keep checking back! More to come!

This was my Christmas card this year! Had this available as a limited edition series of postcards. First series (edition of 200) was red background, green for the second run (200) and finally a run of 1000 that had a yellow background. Happy to report all the prints sold out!

This also got turned into a shirt that sold like crazy over at www.shirt.woot! Made them run out of red shirts temporarily! Wow!

I did a shirt design for the band We The Kings a few months ago. It ended up being printed as a hoodie and is out for purchase if you happen to like the band and my art haha

It's the blue hoodie with WTK: We The Kings on the front:

Custom Floxy toy

Patchtogether.com asked me to design a custom paint for their Floxy toy. They will be vinyl and the paints will be applied digitally so they will be really crisp and accurate.

Not sure when they are going to be released! Hopefully soon, I'll update once i know more...

Werewolf Nesting Dolls

Did some werewolf nesting dolls! I love werewolves and this idea was pretty funny...from a little dude to a big mean monster!

Manson Nesting Dolls

I made these Manson family nesting dolls for Patton Oswalt. His wife is into true crime/serial killers and these were commissioned as a gift to her. This is outside of my usual subject matter and i really enjoyed that...

The little fridge reads "Healter Skelter" which is the correct mispelling of Helter Skelter that was written in blood by a Manson family member.

Foo Dog Toy

This is my first toy run through patchtogether. The Foo Dog!

I have a real fondness for foo dogs so i had to make one my first toy. I add horns to mine, they aren't really traditional foo dogs. They started out as regular foo dogs but after a few drawings and paintings, my foos started having new features added to them and sort of turned into something else while still being "foo dogs" to me...

The toys came out great. First run is sold out as well, sorry...

Tentatiger Toys

Came out amazing! They made them solid, not rotocast...they are heavy!

The run is sold out though, sorry!!

Iam so happy with these guys! They are 14.5" long cut from wood panel. Despite how similar they look, each one IS handpainted with acrylic.

Ended up selling them all at a convention. I have more like these planned...

Rico Rodriguez and Dapper

I sent some stuff out to the Golden Globes to be a part of the gifts given out to celebrities. A bunch of artists sent things and my Uncle Dapper was the item i chose to be displayed out on a table.

This adorable dude is on Modern Family! Rico Rodriguez!
