BloodSuckers…

BloodSuckers
Yesterday I put pen to paper, not knowing what would come out of the sketching session. Sometimes the best illustrations come when you’re mind is open to any possibility. As I continued I found that I had a vampire staring back at me, so I ran with it. I continued with the theme, adding in a few more blood suckers and severed arteries. The result is a lighthearted take on a macabre subject. I’ve adapted the illustration to a T-Shirt graphic and submitted it to Threadless. My goal for the summer is to always have a T-Shirt in the running on Threadless. I figure at least one can make it through. Vote for my design here:

Soak up the inspiration…

Posted on July 1, 2009 | Leave a comment

It’s been a beautiful week here in Portland. Things have been moving along rather nicely. I’ve been making a conscious effort to relax and soak up some sun while it’s here. Oregon winters are long and wet. It’s easy to forget that the sun even exists at all when you’ve been soaked with rain for weeks at a time. Northwest Summers, on the other hand, are a slice of paradise. These are the months when inspiration comes easily. It’s important to write down the ideas that strike while sitting out in the sun. Record them for use during the long months when you’re stuck inside. I’ve got a lot of ideas bubbling just under the surface. I’m planning out the next phase of my creative endeavors. For now, I’m not going to stress. Summer is the time to spend outside, with friends, soaking up inspiration.
