Motor scooting' SURF CHIPMUNKS! 10:14 PM

Another colored version of the surf screenprint series I've been working on. This is intended to be a four color silkscreen print. I don't do a lot of four color prints because the more colors you have you increase the likelihood of missed registration which leads me to be grumpy. That said I played with less colors on these two rad rodents and it didn't feel right, so FOUR colors it is!

Thank you Aya Kakeda for translating for me once again!

OTTER SPACE! 8:50 PM

I needed a new image for a business card. Something fun and memorable. My friend Izzy mentioned he was holding a space themed event with scientists from the University of Hawaii, Hilo at the Hilo Town Tavern and asked if I could work up a poster design. The event was called "OTTER SPACE". The event fell through, but I couldn't help but draw it up. 

Happy THANKSGIVING! 10:35 AM

This Turkey isn't gonna help itself into the oven! Have very Happy Thanksgiving!

Bonus Boxer! 2:43 PM

Bonus Boxer! I know that it supposed to be 10 days of Boxing Beasties but I couldn't resist drawing up one more. On the 9th day of boxers I drew a Banded Mongoose and mentioned that he'd fight snakes- where I then pondered how ridiculous a snake boxer would actually be- TA-DA! it is ridiculous!

Pirate Parrot! 5:04 PM

This is an excerpt of a book cover that I'm working on for Penguin Books. It's about Jewish Pirates. Yep, those were words in that order. It's good fun read that I'll link to it as soon as it's out. What, did you think all I do is draw boxing animals? got to put food on the table and then in my belly!

Day TEN and the END of Boxing Beasties! 4:35 PM

Saving the first for last. This plucky chicken was the very first boxing beasty I ever drew and subsequently the very first thing I successfully silkscreened. I created the boxing animals so I'd have something to screenprint that wouldn't disappoint me if I failed terribly. After this chicken I created a few more.  They just looked funny next to each other so I screened those too. 

There it is- 10 Day of Boxing Critters is now concluded with a cluck. 

Day 9 of Beasty Boxers! 5:40 PM

Banded Mongoose- This boxer can take on deadly snakes. like COBRA deadly (drawing a snake boxer... hmm, that'd be weird. I imagine two boxing gloves connected by a snake body, couldn't see, probably get beat every time). DAY 9 of beasty boxers is done!

DAY 7 Critter contenders! 2:39 PM

That'd be a Nine Banded Armadillo Brawler! There is no doubt about this guy is weird! If he gets backed into a corner he has his infamous roll up into a ball tactic! I'll definitely be screenprinting this guy!

Day 6 Beasty Boxer! 2:50 PM

Another contender for the beasty boxing boxing belt! Straight from the sewers and subways of Brooklyn comes this rough rodent! Day 6 is done! Only 4 more boxers!

Reptilian Brawler! Boxing Beast DAY 5 3:11 PM

BOXING BOX TURTLE! He might not be fuzzy or as cute as my previous boxers or any where near as fast. While he might be a bit slow with the punches he can take punch better than any other. This is the newest of my boxers so far! He did end up looking like Gamera more than I intended!

Puny Pugilist! Day 4! 5:41 PM

He's cute! He's fast! He's Mister Bun! Day 4 down. 

Day 3 of the Boxer drawings has gone to the DOGS! 2:58 PM

Yep, only seven more days of cool drawings and truly awful puns! This is one of the newer boxers that I've drawn and I haven't yet silkscreened this doggy contender. 

10 days of Boxing Animals! 2:17 PM

The Short-run indie press expo in Seattle was good fun. I haven't been back to Seattle in nearly 15 years so it was quite a shock for me to see how much it's changed. Dick's was still on Broadway so not everything was ruined though when I passed it I wasn't intoxicated or hungry- eating a Dick's special straight might have changed my mind. 

This year has not been might best year for updating my newsfeed and as I've done in the past when this happens I double down and force myself to post stuff. So, starting now. TEN days of Boxing Animals! I've drawn a few boxing animals but I haven't drawn ten, so this will be a mix of new and old! I've silkscreened almost every boxing animal I've drawn and would like to reach that number of 10 so it could be a nice wall of weird boxing animals.

Above is one of my favorites! the Boxing Hedgehog!
