it’s hard to make candied apples if you’re not exactly corporeal…

Last preview for now! Gotta leave some surprises for the rest of the book! #cauldronsandcasseroles

cartoon quickdraw

Cartoon Quickdraw is a fun and likely goofy journey into nostalgia in which you choose a classic cartoon character (video games too), draw them in a minute from memory and throw the drawings into a pile. The drawings are revealed, the best and worst are chosen and, in hard core versions of the game, the worst drawing gets tattooed in permanent marker on its artists' arm. Fortunately we didn't do that when we played last night or I would have a totally wrong Rocko-as-a-puppy, a doofy Megaman or a ridiculous Foot soldier (TMNT!) on my arm right now. Can you figure out the rest of the characters?

Good way to keep your doodling fresh, but more importantly just hilarious times (note backwards-hand Sonic).

Embroidery in progress! It's been taking me forever to finish this bat boy because I'm just making a few stitches in between client projects, but I'm very excited to do more (when time allows!)...I've got...plans.....👿

Oh man! Excellent!

So here's the status on Damn Fine Coffee!: Right now, I'm sorting and mailing out the books already spoken for from my Kickstarter campaign. Once those are set aside, I'll be putting the books online to sell. I should have something around 150 available (a more accurate quantity pending), and they'll be $10 before shipping. So check back soon! I'll be posting again with an update and link to buy the books in the next few days. Thanks!

Recently, I was invited to take part in Scout Books GOOD INK: American Shorts. Their series of small books telling classic short stories are each illustrated by one of many talented artists, and it's exciting to be included among them. My story, The Isle of Voices by Robert Louis Stevenson, entails giant warlocks, disembodied voices, and magic shells. Here are a couple of the illustrations that you'll find in the book. Keep an eye out for it in bookstores soon!

My lovely friend Kelly Lasserre's handwritten type is so good and so enviable!  There's something really sweet and silly about this that I adore, and all the painted objects she's been creating just make me so happy.
