One of my t-shirts will be featured on www.riptapparel.com.  Ript Apparel features one t-shirt for 24 hours.  Shirts start at $10.  My shirt will be featured on Feb 19th at 12:00AM CST.  Go by their site on that day to check it out.  Here is the shirt they are featuring.

DMCA Blues

I had several of my works pulled from RedBubble per a DMCA request.  They were some of my Angry Birds works.  I am all for protecting people's intellectual property.  I can agree with two of the take downs.  There wasn't enough in those two works that made the images really my own work.  However the other two bear striking similarities to over 300 hundred Angry Birds works still on the RedBubble site.  One of my removed works was even re-posted to the site of an authorized Angry Birds merchandiser.  The other odd part is that one of my Angry Birds works is still online.  Weird.

I guess the lesson is to make sure you don't get close to the imaginary copyright line.  Live and learn.

iPhone Cases

Since RedBubble started offering iPhone cases I have been working on converting some old works to the new format as well as making some new ones.  Here is one example of a new one I did that was done by request from a friend. (I am editing this post to remove the artwork.  It was part of a DMCA removal request on a different site so I don't want to have it on here.  See above post)

If you would like to view all the cases I have available click here.

New Product for RedBubble

RedBubble, the site I use for selling my work, has added a new product.  They now offer iPhone cases.  I have tried it out with my Birtdfather art.  Let me know what you think.

Perry the Platypus vs. Heinz Doofenshmirtz

My kids are pretty big fans of Phineas and Ferb.  With my kids being fans I have seen a few episodes and have always liked Perry the Platypus.  With all the talk lately of who will be the Republican candidate for president I couldn't help but think of Perry the Platypus whenever I saw Rick Perry.  I don't really have an opinion either way about Rick Perry but I think Perry the Playtpus would make a fine president.  Less talk, more action.  After having posted my Perry the Platypus for President t-shirt someone suggested I should do a Doofenshmirtz shirt.  With that in mind I figured the Obama logo would balance out Perry the Platypus for President quite well.  I think it works.  Enjoy.

Angry Birds

I like Angry Birds.  I think a lot of people like Angry Birds.  I have seen some parody t-shirts with Angry Birds so I decided to try my hand at some.  I really like how these turned out.  The Pig Busters one came first and I got that one done over a weekend.  The Birdfather took just a couple of days as well.

I think my favorite detail was the slingshot on The Birdfather.  I was done with the main image and I was doing the text.  The original image has a hand with puppet strings.  I was just going to do that when I thought of the slingshot.  I think it turned out pretty well.  I have received a lot of positive feedback about both of these.  Enjoy!

Zombie Birthday

This is a birthday card I made a while back.  I like zombies so I think about them occasionally.  I was trying to think of an interesting card at the time so the two ideas fit together perfectly (in my head at least).  Some people might think it's a little disgusting but for me it makes me smile.  Zombies sometimes get a bad rap.  They just wanted to enjoy the party too.  You can't blame them for that (maybe the deceased's relatives might).
