Lil Monster

With the addition of kids clothing on Red Bubble, I decided I wanted to try some designs for kids. I liked the idea of a single color, simple shaped design. I thought a monster theme would be appropriate for my kids' designs. Definitely not drooling, scary monsters but nice, cute ones (maybe a little devilish, these are for kids after all). So hope you like it. I already have a few sketches for some more.

Frank Sings

This is my newest t-shirt.  I have been working on it for about a week now.  This is one of those ideas that came while looking at other people's work.  I saw someone's zombie t-shirt and I started thinking about classic horror monsters and putting them in weird situations in my head.  This one seemed funny to me.  I think singing probably helped Frank to be less angry and not to kill so much.  Enjoy.

Mask Lithograph

This piece is one I did while in college. It was for a lithography class. The image was drawn and printed from a stone. It was part of a series I had done on masks. I really liked how this one turned out.

The mask itself has a more organic face-like feel than a hard edged, carved mask. The marks on the mask were made by applying the grease pencil to the stone and then taking sandpaper and rubbing the surface. The sandpaper would remove the pencil until the paper became full of the grease pencil and then would actually leave grease marks on the stone as I was rubbing.  I like the effect it created.  My favorite part though is the hint of an eye behind the mask.  I hope you like it.
