Portland Pandas



I've always enjoyed sports mascots...so after browsing some of the mascots at istockphoto, I decided to try my hand at some sports logo design...just with a bit more obscure team names, like the Pandas! Who wouldn't be intimidated by that mascot?? Especially with those blood red eyes!

I'm sure you'll be seeing more sports mascots from me soon...leave any team name suggestions in the comments and I'll try to get on some of them!

Lighting it up...


I haven't seen many Christmas lights up this year...maybe people use ones that suck too much electricity...

The Final Frontier


Just a little emblem/logo design I was working on a few months ago for my "band", (morse).

HELP!!


Another page from a book that may never be...

Mrs. Rukhs

What...you don't know Khuzdul??

FREE Music

My "band" (morse) has been featured on CreukRadio.org's new Christmas compilation "Living for G-d". Read all about it HERE.

...I promise to work on a creature for tomorrow (notice I didn't say it would be done! mwah ha ha!)

The Cord


The Cord is (or will be??) an online message board for new mothers. Here's a logo design I submitted to them...they wanted it crunchy, but I guess this was "too crunchy" :P Simplicity FTW!! (The pink mother is a lower case "i" with some "j" hair, and the purple baby is an upside-down exclamation point!)

Gettin' Old


This weekend was full of birthdays in my family...it's kinda creepy if you ask me!

Slither


This was a simple doodle I did the other day. I thought it looked pretty cool...just sayin'

Chillin'


Yep...I was lazy today...

Thanksgiving Shuffle


This guy was doing this odd dance in my basement...so I invited him to Thanksgiving dinner...he proceeded to eat most of my family...I'm not too happy with him at this point.

Super Sam


I ran into Sam the other day at work...so I decided to 'remake' his character from my old comic book series "The Cripple". His character, originally "Sinister Sam", was a complex character. His early days in the comic saw him as an unseen character that had minions that the Cripple fought throughout the early series. Sinister Sam's first appearance introduced some new characters and an entirely new direction for the series. It was eventually revealed that Sinister Sam was possessed by an evil entity that had ties to a civilization on Mars. Long story short - he became a good guy and fought with the "Cripple Corps" as Super Sam. Thoroughly confused? Bad guy gone good...the end.

Friendly Bigfoot


Coming to a shirt near you????????

Jalitec Solutions


Here's another logo I worked on. Jalitec Solutions is in small business IT consulting. I feel like they're an upstart company - but I enjoyed working on this! Once again, it didn't get selected...but I was the first one to change the color of "IT" in "Jalitec" to emphasize the IT consulting...then pretty much everyone else did it after that...

So yeah...I've been lazy and haven't made many creatures lately...hopefully I'll get back to that soon...

Suhn Media


I've been doing some logo design work for some companies through the design contest site Hatchwise. I'll try to get some submissions up periodically. This is a design for a media company called "Suhn Media"...it didn't get selected, but I like it anyway! :)

Enjoy!

Alien Grazzel

Hello friends,
The Imagitoons Zoo was all set to expand...and then we had a set back. It seems someone let an Alien Queen loose, and now we're having a bit of a problem with having Alien eggs in the zoo. The Aliens have gotten to several of our creatures and now there are Alien versions of them running around our zoo - not the best situation for visitors (but potential plot of Alien 5). As we capture the Aliens I'll be sure to get pictures of them up.

Here, a facehugger got to our female Grazzel...

Paranormal


Paranormal Activity: Thanks for the laughs! I'd say it was a waste of time, but I haven't laughed so hard in a long time so I guess that makes up for it!

Chipotle: You made an over-hyped movie delicious!!

MST3K: We simply miss you...

Haikus: You pass the time...

Commission: Under Bridges...

Hello again friends! I guess I can consider this commission - I've been working on a design for a friend and this is just a small part of it:
The design was partly inspired by the song "Under Bridges" by one of my favorite bands, Brave Saint Saturn. Take a listen below!




Enjoy!

Sick


Hangers have been sorely represented here, especially considering how often I draw them! Expect to see more coming to Imagitoons soon!

This guy has been trying to creep into a book I'm writing/illustrating...we'll see if the book ever becomes a reality...

Commission: Jackets Racing '09-'10

Well friends, I'm happy to report I've had my first commission assignment! I was contacted this past week by the student leader of the Jackets Racing team from Cedarville University (my Alma mater). The team is a senior engineer design project in which students design a vehicle to be entered into the Formula SAE competition. I was given a hand sketch of the idea for the logo, to be used for all sorts of stuff, and went to work. Here's the final result!


I'm pretty pleased with it! If you've got any commission work that you need done, drop me an email at the Contact on the right and we can set up rates and the whole deal!

This past week was homecoming at Cedarville, which I participated in 0%. So this weeks art...and Cubicle...will be Cedarville related in some way!

Cubicle #2


I affectionately refer to this CUBICLE as "Ack". It's a little more difficult to make than Cubicle #1 because of the eyes and fin, but who doesn't like a challenge?? Have fun making it!

Cubicle #1

Introducing a new series of FREE paper craft toys exclusively from Imagitoons - CUBICLES!! The series will feature different paper cube designs for you to cut out and assemble - without tape or glue!*

Download "Cubicle #1" template here

I've also been working on a new series where I take creative commons photos from Flickr and add creatures to them - I'm thinking this series could become the more typical type of format you'll start seeing Imagitoons take - so be ready! I should have your first glimpse of what I mean by the end of the week!

Enjoy!

*For best results use thicker paper - like card stock, though regular old paper works, that's what I made mine out of! ;)
