Not in Kansas Anymore!

I've been dying to post this for about a month, but things had to be kept tightly under wraps.  Today I can blow my lid!  Ahhhhhh.

SUPER BIG congratulations to Stephanie and Mark Martinez on their wedding day!  All my best, and here's to many happy years to follow!

Business Card Sketches Part 3: Revenge of Business Card

The one.

Wednesday Sketches

Well Looky Here!

I got this in the mail today! Renee Lott kindly sent me a bunch of stuff that I probably don't really deserve for winning a drawing on her blog, including a sketchpad, a "Sassy Eggplant" magnet (???) a bunch of buttons and two minicomics!

Renee's working on a book for Oni Press called Festering Romance.  Check out the work she posts on her art blog here.

I would be remiss if I did not mention how Ms. Lott's inking control has been putting me and many other SCAD alums to shame for years.  I thought it was vector art for the longest time.

Henry Selick talks Coraline

On Point had an interview with Henry Selick today about his (absolutely amazing!) new movie Coraline.  Some people may be interested to hear it, and if you are one of them you should click this link to go right ahead and do that!

They're hard to compare, but I think I might have liked it more than Wall-E. GOOD STUFF, folks.

Business Card Sketches, Part Deux

Really feeling this one.  Information on the back (still working that out).

Blahblah Avenue

I'm playing with a number of ideas for a new business card at the moment, a rough color comp of one appearing above.  I envisioned this image being sort of cute and fun, but in practice it strikes me as sort of unnerving and creepy in a way.  Maybe I've just been working too late?

The composition on this one is going to need a bit of work (staring at it right now is immediately making me want to fix a couple million things), and I'm not crazy about the colors either, but all in due time.  I've got a few other ideas in production that I'm a bit happier about.

 

And say, if anybody's had good experiences with any card printers in the past, I'm all ears!

Phew.
