Here's a monster I created for Studioaiko's awesome monster party. I dropped in a background for kicks.

And soon the smoke beast began to expand like a balloon, scaring every ounce of bejesus out of the house-hungry cyclops. (Illustration Friday, topic: balloon)

I actually finished this illustration about a week and a half ago, but I'm posting it now to correspond with the publish date of a tutorial I was hired to write for the website Vectortuts. If you're really interested in vector illustration and you're looking to learn a bit more about my process, check it out. I will warn you, however, that it's a members-only tutorial and you'll have to pay to play.

Here's the link, in case you missed it: vectortuts.com/articles/news/new-vectortuts-plus-tut-create-whimsical-artwork-entirely-in-adobe-illustrator/

This year I've decided to print some extra copies of my personal Christmas cards and offer them up for sale to anyone. That's right, anyone. There's only one catch: you'll have to pay $17 for them. Sound like too much $$? It's not because you get ten cards, plus shipping's included. That's right. $1.70 per card. What a bargain.

As you may or may not remember, the card looks like this:

The text on the inside of the card reads, "There's no place like home for the holidays. Merry Christmas."

So for just $17, you get:

  • Ten (10) full-color, high-quality cards
  • Ten regular white envelopes (white is the color of snow)
  • Shipping's included
  • Tax is included

(Sorry, prices pertain to US residents only. If you live in another country and would like some, leave a comment and I'll contact you personally.)

To buy some, just press the "Buy Some!" button below. You'll be directed to paypal.com and the company you'll be paying is Kpants Productions (don't worry, that's me). Thanks!

I'm of the opinion that working for a boss is not a good thing. (Illustration Friday, topic: opinion)

I've decided to draw people again. I guess they're sort of people. Another illustration is on the way really soon.

If folks keep losing their lunches, the whole town will be vacant. (Illustration Friday, topic: vacant)

I don't normally draw people, so I decided to go for it this week. I think they turned out OK.

Apologies if I've been quiet recently. My wife and I have found a house and we've been busily tackling the required bureaucracy. In other news, I'm pleased to report that there's a little Leavens on the way. That's right -- Adriana's pregnant. Come May, a baby Unloosenite will be among us.
