A gouache painting of Space Skull, a character created by my buddy Jake Parker. Jake is
running a rocking Kickstarter for a collection of his best sketchbook drawings (with Senor Skull on the cover.)
The campaign ends in just a few days. So get the book while you can.
I love Pikmin.
So many adorable, little deaths.
My favorite green hero.
I did a bunch of different color treatments for this image. The simplest one ended up the best.
I doodled this guy in my sketchbook the other day.
And I decided to make him move.
I dig Instagram. I dig it a lot.
Here is sampling of the images I've been sharing on Instagram.

Did you know that Chinese dragons have 5 toes? If it has fewer than 5 it is from another country. True thing.
Did you know drawing Chinese dragons is fun? True thing.

I've been playing a lot of old school NES games recently and I'm amazed at how much fun they still are to play. Do you remember that level in Mario 3 that had the green shoe? You could jump on spikes and piranha plants and everything.
I love that shoe. But you only get to use it in one level.
Rip off.
METRO from Jacob Wyatt on Vimeo.Last year I had the pleasure of working briefly on a short animated film. The movie was directed by my good buddy
Jake Wyatt.
Beautiful stuff. Enjoy.
Drew this fox.
Also, he moves.
Did you folks know that animation is really fun? I mean, really, really fun.
And here is Ms. Ant. She’s the jerk that doesn’t share her food with Ms. Cricket.
I kind of have issues with the morals of this story.
A quick character study for something I'm working on at the office.
I drew a few "hazard monsters" for my friend Rick Walton a few days ago. He's writing up a presentation to teach kids about dangerous stuff around their houses.
I look for any opportunity I can to draw monsters.
I love my phone for saving me from math.
He likes books and bow ties.
I just opened up a new Etsy Shop. I call it "Happy Tee Bot." I sell shirts for kids.
I have my first two designs printed already with another two on the way soon (one of which involves glow-in-the-dark ink!)
I recently did some short comics for
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader (chuckling encouraged.) They put out some pretty fun books for kids (grown -ups too.) This story is for a collection of fractured fairy tales called "The Enchanted Toilet." Fun times.
My friend
Michelle did some good stories for the book too.

This year's Picture Book Marathon is coming up in February. I'm a bit sad that I can't participate this year (due to a time sucking secret project that I'm working on.)
But I got to do the logo for this year's PBM. So that was fun.
The "leap!" bit comes from this year being a leap year. One extra day. Woot.
I know some amazingly talented people. See for yourself.
Jed Henry just made this great book trailer:
Jed authored and illustrated Cheer Up Mouse. It will be available in print Fall 2012.
Julie Olson just released her first ebook:
More info on that can be found
HERE.
She even made free coloring pages of the book available
HERE.
Mike Phipps makes the coolest Tees and Ties around:
You can buy them
HERE and
HERE.
See? Aren't my friends the coolest?
Earlier this year I had the wonderful opportunity to be on a set-building crew locally here in Utah. We we building a set to resemble ancient Jerusalem. Here is one of the videos shot on that set.
It was a great project to be a part of. Merry Christmas.
PS: Pretty much all of the "stone" you see in the video is styrofoam blocks carved to look like stone. It was mounted on plywood walls and sprayed with cement from a high-pressure hose. Then the cement (thousands of square feet) was textured by hand with brushes and such. That was what our crew did on the show. It was grand. I loved this job.
PPS: The porch where Mary meets to talk with Martha was my favorite place to eat lunch every day. I ate many a turkey sandwhich there.
PPPS: You can see more of the videos shot on this set

How many times is he going to repackage this garbage? I try to ignore it, but every time I see him screwing with Star Wars it irks me.
I'm starting to resent the whole series. Even the good movies. And I hate that.
Grrrrr.

Just messing around with gouache and Photoshop.
This year for Halloween I wanted to see if I could make a costume for exactly $0. Turns out, I can. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you cardboard cyborg. Truly a marvel of modern science.
I'll see if I can get some better photos posted soon to show off the details.
I love Halloween. Does it show?

Yup, it is about over. But I saved a couple of my favorites for the end. I really like the dishwasher robot. I want one of my own. And even robots are more fun in space.
Now I need to finish building my Halloween costume. It also involves robots. And cardboard.
A bunch more robot coloring pages.
Yup, it's Inktober, a holiday season only observed by illustrators and the ink people who live at the bottoms of dry wells.
In honor of the season I'm posting a bunch of free coloring pages on one of my favorite subjects: robots.
Go ahead and print them out for your kids (or yourself.) Enjoy.
