I did a little mouth doodle at work and then turned it into a mod psychedelic yum pattern.

Detail:

Done with pencil on paper, then colored in Photoshop. “YUM” is set in Helvetica Neue.

Gab and I watched Salem’s Lot (1979) over the weekend. I generally prefer horror movies to 4th of July festivities. Fireworks are ho-hum, but gore’s never a bore. Salem’s Lot was pretty good, though perhaps we shouldn’t have watched the uncut version. It could have run a bit peppier. But I did enjoy it. I did some doodles inspired by the show while I was taking breaks at work today.

All were done with pencil on paper. Color and texture added in Photoshop.

This bird is thinking of her awesome dad. I made this card for my awesome dad.

Started out with pencil on paper, then inked the lines in Illustrator and added color and texture in Photoshop. The typeface is Designal Regular.

When Trout Businessman came onboard at Big Cat Co., Leopard Businessman and Trout Businessman had to overcome their differences in order to work effectively together. Leopard Businessman kept wanting to nibble Trout Businessman’s fins. But then they went out to after-work drinks a couple times and they complained about their wives to each other (Trout Businessman can’t stand it when Trout Businesswoman just lies there like a dead fish). Now they’re best-work-friends and like visiting each others’ cubicles and gossiping about Ocelot Boss and Salmon Secretary.

Doodle done during breaks at work. I might ink and color this in the future. Oh, the future!

After endless hours staring at a computer screen and moving shapes around to make pretty things, sometimes it’s nice to sit at a desk and move tangible shapes around to make pretty things.

Done with origami paper, and some awesome origami mesh paper.

My business cards from the awesome moo arrived! My experience with moo was great. Uploading and setting up the cards was very easy and straightforward. Production and shipping was relatively speedy; I got these in 11 actual days from the day I placed the order. I had them printed on their “Moo Classic” stock, as opposed to their “Moo Green.” I like the feel of the card. It’s matte and feels a little slick. The color is amazing, and just as I expected. The text is a little soft-looking to me, though. But, overall, I’m very pleased with them.

These guys have formed a complex barter system, based upon chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, and massages.

Pencil on paper; texture and color added in Photoshop.

Sunday morning: laundry, Comedy Death Ray radio, Frosted Mini-Wheats (blueberry muffin flavor), tea, and PATTERN REMIX.

All done in Photoshop, using art from the awesome Clipart ETC and Briar Press.

Some monster doodles I did while taking a little break at work this week.
