pencilbomb has a new home!

me and my best girl recently moved to this cool little old town and into a bigger apartment for the same rent as our old one (and now we have sane neighbors living next to us! no more being spied on by our old neighbor, melinda!) plus, my little creative company has a room of its very own... and some new equipment!!!! i feel like an official company owner now, no more staying late at the office on the work computer to finish up freelance projects or trips to kinko's for scans and printouts. look at the size of that monitor! i can't believe that i finally did it! i've been debating on getting a computer for a while now. the apple store rules, by the way! Here's a hint to anyone about to purchase a new mac: tell them the purchase is for your business. they saved me some money and hooked me up with a business discount on everything and were just really cool with me even though my check card got declined and i had to go to the bank and withdraw the actual cash. it sounds silly but laying an envelope stuffed with cash on the counter was so much more difficult to do than swiping that card. i did it! look for lots of new stuff on this blog in the future!

Grrrr....

Here's some partial snapshots of the process on a recent project i just finished up.... that is, until i get a revision request on it. notice the change in the bottom jaw between 3 and 4... sometimes i start drawing and then realize that i've done something wonky from the beginning and have to go back and change it up... hopefully for the better.

50 pretend internet dollars to anyone that knows what animal this is supposed to be!

MEXICO

¡VIVA LA TIAJUANA!

did you know that a "Mexican Zebra" is actually just a donkey that has had stripes painted on it?

quick sketch.

happy friday.

another design up at threadless

reach.

i did this a while back but it kind of started a bit of a trend for me. i've been doing a lot of stuff with images of hands lately... i think this is because i'm lazy and its easy to get reference pics of something that is right in front of me.

design for threadless
