Capital!

I did this monster design awhile ago. The guy on the left is definitely based around Bloo from "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," though he's a monster and quite real. I also imagine he has a deeper, much less nails-on-a-chalkboard voice. I can't help but think the green guy is my favorite though. He just seems so classy with his top hat and monocle.

Figured I'd go ahead and post this this week, since it seemed to fit into the Illustration Friday category of "Eye Glasses" (Hey, there's an eye, and glasses. It works.). Oh, yeah, I'm trying to get back in the swing of IF. I'm basically just trying to draw and design things more. And write more. And do everything more.

We'll see how ALL of that goes, I suppose.

Minnesota

Despite the gorgeous temperatures here in sunny SoCal, I still can't help but occasionally be weather-sick. The variety in weather patterns is seriously lacking, and sometimes I can't help but want to be bundled up inside on a snowy morning.

It's weird to not really think of Minnesota as home anymore, but I don't. I don't necessarily consider SoCal home, in the nostalgic sense of the word, either. I feel like I have yet to find home. But last week, I was definitely feeling Minnesota-sick and a bit weather-sick, so, inspired by this Kickstarter campaign, I designed a Minnesota poster of my own, to celebrate the winter I miss from a distance of time and space.
