The Moles 8-Panel Comic Part 1

Gab Danon and I hatched a plan. We’ll create an 8-panel comic that you can print out on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper at your very own home, then fold and cut into a mini book. Gab wrote an awesome story about moles and now I’ll illustrate it. I’ll post a new panel every Sunday. They may not be in order, and I won’t show the copy on the illustrations, so that it can be a surprise when it’s all finished. According to my calculations, that means this should be finished by December 20. Therefore, you could print it out and give it to someone for Christmas or What-Have-You. Here’s the first panel I got done. Definitely click to make larger if you got the time.

Not Without My Pet Website is Alive!

I designed a website for a friend from work, Raquel, who is involved with a great non profit: Not Without My Pet. The organization helps victims of domestic violence who own animals. Often, people will delay leaving abusive situations because of not knowing how to take their pets with them, and being worried about their pet’s well-being if they leave the animal behind.

Not Without My Pet aims to help those people by “partnering with domestic abuse shelters to establish pet care facilities.” It’s a wonderful cause, and it was fun to design their site for them. Many thanks to programmer Russ for doing the great programming work on it.

I wanted to include some great pet photos on the site and Raquel was awesome at enlisting her friends’ help – she and her friends amassed a bunch of cute and charming snapshots of their pets. I threw in some of my own too. Check out the screenshots below.

And go look at the new website: www.nwomp.org
