Bookmarks!
I've been reading a lot more as of late.
I keep finding myself using little index cards or scraps of paper to hold my places in those books. Although I am probably fighting against the "print is dead" movement, I really find myself in need of a good bookmark. So, uhhh...I just made some.
For one of my bookmarks, I decided to make a Bilbo Baggins because I just love that sweet little hobbit. Everything about him. Everywhere he goes, he just wants to go and eat. He just wants to eat breakfast. I can relate Bilbro.
He's got his Elfen blade, Sting, with him...glowing because there are always goblins around, of course.
If you would like a Bilbo for yourself, or a bookworm friend, you can find him here.
Fat Elvis bookmarks are a multi-tasker- they are perfect for cookbooks and rock n' roll biographies.
Then again I literally have this fat tub-o-lard bookmark sitting in my bible. I giggle every time I look at it.
Literally singing his heart out, Elvis is shaking what his mama gave him. Thanks Mama Elvis.
If you are interested in picking up this bookmark for yourself of your friends, you can find them here.
Some Etsy custom orders
I recently had a pretty cool Etsy order from a very cool girlfriend who has a very lucky boyfriend. She wanted to surprise her man for his birthday and she had seen an old wooden cutout of Randy Savage that I made long ago. Asking if I could make another AND a Ric Flair was like asking a if I'd like like another cinnamon roll cake for my birthday....yes I would like that very much thank you.
If you're wanting to order some custom wrestlers, why don't you head over to my Etsy and send me a conversation?
Process shots:
These are hand cut, hand painted, ready to be hung on the wall original pieces of art. They are painted on 1/4" birch panels and they're fun to have staring at you. Albeit, I only get to see them staring at me for a couple days before I send them off.
Kindergarten Cop Father's Day Greeting Card Now Available!
I'm just talking to a blinking cursor now. ...Kind of like Doogie Howser M.D. Ooooo NPH.
The one main difference between good ol' Doogie and I, is that he liked to make some kind of prolific statement about what he learned in that episode and all I'm going to do is talk about an abusive detective. An abusive detective that goes deep undercover as a kindergarten teacher to find a bad guy.
Honestly, I'm not even going to talk too much about the movie. If you haven't already seen Kindergarten Cop, words just won't do it justice. Seriously though, you should throw this on your Netflix, and get ready for some early '90s action-comedy featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger at his (some say) finest. It's also directed by Ivan Reitman, who made Ghostbusters!
There's a ton of sayings that would have worked well for this card, but for some reason my wife and I constantly say, "Who is your daddy, and what does he do?" to each other...in the most random situations possible. So, it just felt right. Also in the running were, "It's not a tumor!" and "I'm a cop, you idiot!" but I felt like the first one was too insensitive for a get well card and the second phrase would only pander to rude police officers. Sooooo...
Wait, maybe I'm missing a market here.
Anyway, Father's Day is coming up and since our beloved phrase involves the word "daddy", I figured this was a good fit. Plus, it's hilarious.
You can purchase this card for you dad here! I can also make 8x10" prints, but those are available upon custom request.
