2 New Ones

Well it looks like it has been about 6 months since I last posted something.  I don't know of many people that read this blog but looking at my page views it seems that someone does so here is an update.

Internet Fact Checker - This one I made because of a friend of mine.  He likes to get into discussions online that sometimes get heated and he especially likes to point out errors in peoples ideas.  So I thought the idea of an Internet fact checker sounded funny.  I tried to go with an old propaganda poster style.  I am not sure if it comes off that way but I like how it turned out.

Travel in Style - This idea has been percolating for a while.  It started off with a vague idea using the Tardis, DeLorean, and Bill and Ted phone booth.  Eventually it turned into different methods of time travel.  I have to say I haven't seen a couple of the movies I used but I picked them because of their visual interest.  Can you name all of the movies/TV shows?

Roy & Moss

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would post a shirt I did recently.  I am a big fan of the show IT Crowd.  The characters Roy and Moss have a great chemistry and this idea captures it for me.  They have great conversations, sometimes they fight, but mostly they have adventures.

Ript Apparel

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.
