Things are really busy at work and it's been a chalenging task keeping afloat my own personal projects. On my off time - chiefly between the hours of 9 pm and 2 am - I've been slowly working on a new children's book concept. It's set in my native Palm Springs and features this swell little character.

Here's a Postable I made at work. It's funny, I've lived in Venice for six months now and still haven't touched the ocean. I blame it on my justifiable fear of being eaten alive!


On a more pleasant note one of my freelance projects was recently plugged on the website Boing Boing.

If your at all interested you can find my Magnetic Monster Toy at the swell Goblin Fish Press site I run with my ultra talented brother Josh.

Here's a few label designs I did for a soon to be released JibJab short. I do a lot of work like this at JibJab, but I like the way these two came out. It's not everyday I get to design an air freshener with a cartoon devil as the mascot.

Grand Opening !

Do you see the nifty new button on the right hand side of my blog? We'll if you point and click it'll direct you to the brand new Goblin Fish Press store I recently opened with artist, brother, pal, and all around swell guy Josh. In the store you can find everything from art prints to monster T-shirts to the current Toy's I made with the fine folks over at Mudpuppy.

A special thanks to Elizabeth Ito for telling us all about the wonders of BigCartel.com. If you haven't already done so check out her new store here!

The Mysterious Delgadillo

What's a Delgadillo you ask? He's the reptilian creature barking at that mongrel dog of course! This was a piece of ruff concept art for a book pitch I created last year when I lived inside a shed in my parents backyard and had way to much free time on my hands.

Those were the good old days.

I made this postcard for a seriously talented filmmaker and freind Ryan Bosch. If your in the Los Angeles area on Thursday come and check out his movie at the Bootleg Theater.

MONSTERS FOR AGES 3 AND UP!!!

The other day I spotted in a little shop in Venice Beach two very cool pieces of merchandise I worked on last summer, my Monster Tin Set and one extremely Mighty Dinosaur puzzle. It was a strange kind of thrill to see my work sitting there on a sales rack and I have to admit for once in a really long time I felt like a professional working adult! You can purchase these guys here at the Mudpuppy web sight. The magnetic monster set in particular make for extremely cool fridge magnets!





One quick note about both products - If you guys stopped by my table at last years Comic Con you might recognize some of these monsters and dinosaurs from a series of prints I sold.





That's the end of my shameless plug. Sorry if I came off like a salesmen.
