Here is the X-mas card my wife made me this year. It features our new kittens attacking their namesakes from Futurama. Vanessa is much better at art than I am at science.
Leela and Zoidberg X-mas Card
January 4th, 2012Monkeyshines X-mas
December 29th, 2011Here is the X-mas card I gave to my wife. I think it’s actually more frightening than the Devil card.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it came out. I wouldn’t consider the tree to be as finished as I’d like, but I had the hard deadline if I wanted it to give it to Vanessa in time for X-mas. I know I could technically go back into it now, but if I make a habit of that, then I’ll never finish anything ever.
Devil’s X-mas
December 5th, 2011I know it may spoil the surprise for the family members I send X-mas cards to, but I worked hard on this, so I’ve decided to post it.
It look me longer than I think it should have, but I’m still learning how to digitally paint. I actually used photos of a friend of mine as the inspiration for The Devil. Writchy doesn’t always look like Satan, but for some reason he did on October 30, 2011. Go figure. In addition to modeling for X-mas cards, Writchy is a brilliant writer, and you should check out his work at Intrusive Thoughts. I won’t be selling this card, as it is no longer cost-effective for me to either print and distribute cards myself, or have them printed in bulk. I still have a few older X-mas card packs for sale at Donkeyshines, so check them out if you haven’t already.
Interplanetary Adoption
October 16th, 2011Years ago, I did a pencil sketch of a gorilla holding a baby alien for a birthday card to my wife. She loves primates. As I recently have been teaching myself digital painting in Photoshop, I decide to revisit this idea for a new birthday card to my wife. I am pretty happy with the results. Not only is it by far my best digital painting so far, it may be one of the best pieces of art I’ve ever made.
Year of the Rooster
October 6th, 2011I have finally finished the last of the 12 Chinese Zodiac designs. The Year of the Rooster just might be one of my favorites, although doing the character was very time-consuming and tricky. You can now buy this design on garments for both adults and children at Donkeyshines Jr.
I will also be updating the Donkeyshines Jr. website within the next couple of weeks.
Year of the Snake
October 4th, 2011Now I’ve finished 11 out of 12 of the Chinese Zodiac designs! Here’s the Year of the Snake, available now at Donkeyshines Jr.
Year of the Horse (Revisited)
September 29th, 2011I did a new version of the Year of the Horse Chinese Zodiac design:
I’d say it’s much better than the old one. Wouldn’t you agree?
The New Year of the Horse design is available on T-shirts for adults and children at Donkeyshines Jr.
Year of the Sheep
September 27th, 2011Here’s the latest Chinese Zodiac design: Year of the Sheep. It’s currently available at Donkeyshines Jr. on t-shirts for adults and children. Go see!
Year of the Rat
September 23rd, 2011Year of the Rat makes number 8 of 12 of the Chinese Zodiac designs. It is now available at Donkeyshines Jr. on t-shirts for adults and children.
Year of the Pig
September 20th, 2011Today, I finished my Year of the Pig design for my Chinese Zodiac collection. It is now available at Donkeyshines Jr. The design comes in men’s, women’s, and kid’s sizes, with other products to be added in the future.
