Some Music for October

I just updated this Halloween / Monster Mix:

Monster Mix from musarter on 8tracks Radio.

I also just created this Ghetto Mix. This mix makes me aware that things could always be worse and to be thankful for what I have.

"T"eeny Meany & Miny Moe

Final version for Olive Green tee. I am also going to make a version for general print that will have less green and more texture.

Illustration Sketch

For a calender challenge were artists create illustrations with animals for specific months. This is the start of my entry for June. It is called "Jaxartasarous speaks in circles regarding the his infinite journey delivering Jackalope's Jack Fruit Jam."

I am also still plugging away at "Innie Minnie & Miny Moe" illustration. Updates soon.

GAP "Clever" Contest Designs

I usually don't enter many design contests even though I should. Bucking up a bit, I decided to enter a Threadless challenge sponsored by GAP. I past they tended to print simple one or two color designs. So I did these two designs based on what has printed previously and the prompt "clever." If you have the time, view the links below and vote. Let me know what you think.

New Project Start: Eeny Meany Miny Moe

 Please forgive the poor image. I am having issues with my scanner and just took a photo with my camera. I am imaging Eeny Meeny to be a tiny meany and Miny Moe to be a miner named Moe. Maybe I will Title the piece "Teeny Meany Miny Moe" or simply "Catch a Tiger by the Toe."

A closer look at Eeny Meany and Miny Moe. 

Poor old tiger.

I will post the final version when I finish. As with "Tea Time" it could be a while. Thanks for looking.

Space at the Atomic Level

Here is a quick illustration / design I did after watching a cool science video called "The Power of Ten." Our everyday lives tend distract or make us overlook the reaches of our human understanding of the universe. Even though it is dated, from 1977, I think everyone should watch the video once a year to contemplate the intriguing nature of our universe.

The concept of the design is that elements in our universe, vast and small, tend to repeat themselves. It uses images of our own solar system to make a play on the idea that solar systems, galaxies, and atoms all display similar properties. All photos used are public domain of the NASA.

Since Threadless tends to like scientific, or nerdy, designs, I submitted it there. I would wear it, so maybe I am a nerd too. Please go check it out if you get a chance:
