New Promotional Postcard

I finally got around to ordering new promotional postcards yesterday. (As always, click on the image for a larger view.) I'm beginning to suspect that I'm developing an obsession with squirrels, since they seem to keep showing up in my art. I blame our dog Buster, who is DEFINITELY obsessed with squirrels.

For all the moms ...

Here's hoping your little rascals treat you right on Sunday!

Tomorrow's Earth Day! Go on outside and get yourself some nature. It'll do you good.

Don't Break the Chain!

A little while ago I celebrated a big birthday (nevermind how big. It's not polite to ask) and I decided to use the opportunity to make a resolution, since I was a little sloppy in the resolution department last January. I had recently read about Jerry Seinfeld's secret to productivity, and I'd been wanting to give it a try. You can read about it here. Basically, he says to get a calendar with all the days on one sheet. Then for every day you complete your task, which in his case is writing comedy, you get to make a big red X on the date. Eventually, you have a chain of red X's. In my case, my goal is to make a drawing from my imagination every day. And the X's are purple. I like purple. So I've been doing this, and it's been great. Sometimes I almost forget, and I'm tired and just want to go to sleep, and I can't think of anything to draw, but I don't want to break the chain, so I draw something. Even if it's just a kid trying to think of what to draw. Or a bug.

I even came up with an idea for my spring promo art this way. (More about that later. )

The Curse of the Pampered Pup

This is from a story idea I have about a pampered pup who longs for the vagabond lifestyle of his nemesis, a squirrel named Scarbutt. (I left the scar off since I thought it would be merely distracting without the back story.) And yes, this was inspired by our dog's eternal torment at the furry hands of the neighborhood squirrels.
