and in other news, plastic and plush voted my doolie box as the #2 designer plush toy of 2008! hooray! thanks plastic and plush!

you can get yourself a doolie box HERE, or even better HERE on sale......

plush show, foggy & egg man

these are some illustrations I based off my burgerlog dolls,

 but I wanted to give them a wintry twist.

so I made some plush out of them for a holiday plush show. 

(flyer for the show above)

these guys will be available at the Luv-able & Hug-able show: Dec 4th-Jan 7th. at gallery HanaHou in NY.   

go check it out if you will be in the area. 

 I have 3 more  shows to go for 2008, plush plush and more plush!

too early for the holidays?

this card is kind of cool, because it is done with a new technique (similar to lenticular) which makes the snow flakes look animated. the above is an entire page of the card, but these individual gift cards are now at target stores.

my rough sketch, and below is the first color pass.

the snake charmer

I don't like snakes in real life.... so an illustration of them will be just fine for me.

I tried to go outside of my normal pastel color pallet I usually use.

and here was the original sketch,  ball point pen.

**************

and on another note: metal for monsters went live oct. 1st. they have teamed up with artists to create limited edition pendants which will benefit UNICEF. I designed 2 pendants for them.  check it out!

some junk

this giraffe was for a friends son's school. I had to change the final color version to a more natural giraffe pallette, but this was my first color choice.

I did these bears about a year ago for Caboom studio. can't find the original sketches.

because I never draw

music lesson

possible pattern......
