What’s New?

I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I would do a quick post on what’s new and going on with me. I haven’t gotten out with the camera much this winter, but I did set up a couple floral shots. Hopefully, with the weather warming up, and grass getting greener, I’ll be able to get out and get some new work!

And one candle image, that is only available on Zazzle.

I also worked on a new photomanipulation. This was intended to be the ’sequel’ to Ephemeral Partings, but it seemed to get away from the oringal design a bit.

There are also a few new digital abstracts.

 I also have a few new t-shirt designs on both Redbubble and Zazzle.

Of course the designs are available on other products too.

I was also asked to illustrate a Fire Saftey coloring book, which is in progress, and was able to create some products featuring 2 of the characters.

 I also started making business cards designs on Zazzle. You can view them all here, but here are a couple examples.

As you can see, I like the black cards. All of them are customizable, and the colored ones in the middle can have their background colors changed.

Geesh, I guess I have been busy! But I have found time to take my kids to the park.

 Additionally, I just sent out a bunch of images to be printed. I hope to be hitting the art show circuit this year. I already have a few lined up. Wish me luck!!

 

 

Arachnids Challenge: “Hairy Little Beasts”

The Arachnids Group at Redbubble just finished off their latest challenge. With the theme of the challenge being “Hairy Little Beasts”, the turnout was spectacular, and the images incredible. But alas, only one image can be crowned 1st place. If you would like to check out all the entries, click here.

Now onto the show! The top 10 are as follows in order from 1st place to 10th.

Plant a Tree – Earth Day

Earth Day is coming up, and what better way to celebrate this glorious planet we call home, than planting a tree. Remember the days when you were sent home from school on Earth Day with a tiny pine tree to plant? Mine never survived, not to mention there really wasn’t room in the yard for another tree. So if you want to help contribute by planting a tree, but don’t have a place to plant one, buy a T-shirt!

A T-shirt? What the heck does a T-shirt have to do with planting trees? Well, I will tell you…

Zazzle has gotten together with American Forests to create “Tree-Shirt Releaf.” This will give customers the opportunity to have a tree planted for every T-shirt they buy between April 16 and Earth Day on April 24! At check-out use the offer code “plantatree09″.

Personally, I think this a wonderful idea! You get a great new shirt, and help the planet! If you want to go a step further, Zazzle offers organic T-shirts! (The all-organic cotton classic t-shirt. 100% organic fine jersey cotton, combed for comfort. Flattering, stylish fit on virtually any body type. Made in the USA by American Apparel.) When you find a shirt you like, just look through the shirt options!

Additionally, in celebration of Earth Day, many of the Zazzle contributors have created some great designs. Check a few of these out!

Even if you don’t buy a T-shirt, GET OUT THERE AND PLANT A TREE!!!!
