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.

DUDE! i need these!!!
I'm very close to stealing one of those puzzles off the kitchen table!
I have to get my boney finger's on these as well1
hey wait a sec - you didn't design the puzzle on that site! one "justin parpin" did. i can tell it's a different person 'cause parpin's dinos are way happier.
you should change your name to Justin Parpin, it could become your pen name.
I love that fish dinosaur. its teeth and expression is so funny.
Justin, your design is truly inspiring! I really love your dinossaurs....that fish is just amazing!!!
Very cool. I love it when designerly (that a word?) illustrators incorporate typography in the their work. And I have a soft spot for monsters.
I live in Paris. I use to got to a Toy shop in Saint-Paul where I always play a bit with the DIY Monsters. I think it's one of my favorite toys in there!
Very good work, man!
