Dia de los Cupcakes
Recently, I was hired by a cake maker to design a logo for her business. She wanted something involving a cupcake and a skull. I was really excited about the job, but after several rounds of sketches and several rounds of rejections, I realized I might not be the right artist for her logo. I let the job go and posted some of the rejected sketches on facebook. To my surprise, I had a very positive response!
I was urged to finish the artwork, and here’s what I came up with:
I’ve sold the first (pink) cupcake, and just finished painting the teal one. It’s currently listed on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/150330489/dia-de-los-cupcake-original-painting-in?ref=shop_home_active
I just bought 12 more 8″x10″ canvases, and will be creating more paintings very soon.
So much for rejection!

Dia de los Monsters: Couch Monster
This monster pulls you in and won’t let go. Beware of the Couch Monster especially on Mondays, during mid-terms, or when you have a big deadline at work. (See also: Procrastination Monster.)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Dominoes
Occasionally I get special orders for something other than monsters. Like mutant turtles, for example. Which I guess aren’t monsters because, uh, they have sweet ninja skills? Anyway, here they are, heroes in a half shell… and on dominoes: Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo.

Stop. Mermaid time.
I’ve been painting mermaids for the last several days. Life-sized! (If mermaids are people-sized fish, that is.) Don’t worry. I’ll be back to monsters soon.

Dia de los Monsters: What’s Species Got to do With It? Pt. 3
Sometimes monster-human relationships are unpredictable. They can go from wild and passionate to mundane as quickly as the changing phases of the moon.

Dia de los Monsters: What’s Species Got to do With It? Pt. 2
Monster-Human relationships don’t always work out, of course. For example, take this guy I dated in high school. Smelled like a fish. Kissed like one, too. (Blech!) I hope he stays in his lagoon instead of coming to the 20-year reunion! (That would be awkward.)

Dia de los Monsters: What’s Species Got to do With It?
I’ve always been attracted to monsters. Why, you ask? Perhaps it’s the heavy breathing or maybe just our mutual interest in destroying Tokyo, but for whatever reason, we just hit it off.

Dia de los Monsters: Wazzit Monster
We don’t really know what a Wazzit is. My 4 year old art director refuses to release that information. I am only authorized to translate this classified drawing into domino art form. Is it an alien bunny rabbit? An atomically radiated Peep? The mutated results of a lab test determining whether Trix really are just for kids? We may never know…
