Breakfast in your Pocket? (tinymeat wallet)

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:36:31 -0500

That would be kind of messy, so the next best thing would be to get this wallet instead (available soon at tinymeat).
The design theme is "The Breakfast Club"-no other foods are allowed. Scram Hot Dog!

An entry for the Hot Chip contest

This is my entry for the "Hot Chip" contest.

Godzilla is going ALL-INN!

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:20:08 -0500

This is the preview WIP (Work in Progress) for the tinymeat Kaiju battle series wallet. This is a collab between Wullagaru and me (herky).

The basic design concept: Godzilla is challenging Hedorah (Smog Monster) in a "Heads Up" poker match in Las Vegas. This artwork would be on the outside of the wallet (which I've almost completed).

The artwork on the inside of the wallet would have both monsters pushing casino buildings (such as Luxor, Excalibur, Wynn, Paris, Hard Rock, ect,) in the middle of a large pile. Basically going all in and winner take all (or control) of Las Vegas. Wullagaru's preview of the inside artwork is coming soon, so stay tuned.

This is a short video featuring both characters. Beware of the mind-blowing special effects.

Everyone makes mistakes

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 21:21:58 -0500

Although initially I was disappointed that the inside printed tag of my design was erroneous (my name was omitted), I realize everyone makes mistakes and these things can happen. I am still very grateful to Threadless and am thankful the design was fortunate enough to win the "loves" competition. Hopefully this shirt will see the light of a reprint one day and it'll all be even better. :)

High speed connection for the Wild Kingdom?

This is an entry for the "Gmail" contest. I guess the internet does soothe the savage beast. Thanks in advance for any votes or comments once it's up for scoring.

Join the FWF club, it's better than Costco!

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 14:58:15 -0500

Recently in the blogs I've noticed an alarming backlash against designs utilizing "FWF" or more commonly known as "Food with Faces." Is there a higher or more beautiful form of art than FWF? I dare think not. The latest and greatest print and reprint this week rests my case.

In an effort to suppress this heinous form of discrimination and unsubstantiated contempt, I would like to introduce the Official F.W.F.C.M Card (Food With Faces Club Membership). Finally FWF supporters everywhere can bask in the security, strength and confidence that only a unified group can provide. Like it or not, FWF is here to stay and as the saying goes, "if you can't beat them join them."

Please feel free to copy (or drag) this card to your desktop and fill in the blanks accordingly and you too can become a proud member today. :)

This is the rough sketch for the design.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Go and vote, hopefully it will be a positive experience for you too.
