Wile E. Coyote Blueprint Posters Now Available
You can buy a poster of this image here. You can find wallpapers here.
As you can see I updated the art substantially since I released the wallpaper this past spring. I missed a few details, the largest being the whole box and its contents were tilted.

Another mistake I made in the original wallpaper was placing a pile of birdseed rather than an ‘X’. I must have been thinking of another failed Wile E. Coyote plan.
For both I would like to add a grid to the background, but these are how they appeared in the cartoon.
TMNT Blu-Ray Case
UPDATE (Aug 27/2012): There is now an official release of a TMNT collection in a turtles van which can be seen here.
This is my least original creation! And for a few reasons: there has already been a pizza-themed box set for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and this is a shameless rip-off of the excellent Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine DVD box set. However this being a design I would want to buy, I may as well throw it out there. Plus it was fun to make, so why not.
To be honest this started out as a slipcase, much like the View Askew design I did recently. I just decided to go full-bore and make the vehicle. It really could work as a simple box with the vehicle plastered all over the sides. I might still do that eventually.
In my estimation this would be close in size to the original TMNT van toy. As a result it could easily accommodate a few figures in the front cabin, much like the previously-mentioned Scooby-Doo design. If going with the slipcase alternate, then it would just hold normal Blu-Ray cases alone, nothing else.
I decided to go with the late 80′s/early 90′s cartoon era of TMNT for this design, though different styles could be issued for the films and the late 90′s/early 00′s version of the cartoon.

Pinky And The Brain Flag Wallpaper
Here are some wallpapers depicting the official flag of Brain from Pinky and the Brain. At least, that’s what I remember it looking like from memory – can’t find any online reference. If anyone has a screen capture of this flag, please send it to me.
If I recall correctly, this is a flag Brain had used in one of his many schemes for world domination. And if I am wrong, it probably would’ve looked like this anyways. Just a name and portrait, the mark of a narcissist. All hail Brain.
Didn’t set out to do wallpapers, this was for a desktop flag idea. I will post that eventually.
EDIT: updated the images so they aren’t as noisy as the top image
In the meantime one giant widescreen 2560×1600 image, a large 1600×1200 standard-def image, and an iPhone 960×640 image. Click to enlarge:
I really need to grab the DVDs of this show pronto. It featured, among other things, my all-time favorite sound effect: whenever Pinky or Brain got hit (or belted each other), the sound effect was like two phone books being slammed together (or one being slammed closed). Hilarious Foley work.
If I Had A Lawn I’d Rent It Out To Bugs Bunny
If I did have a lawn of any kind, I’d set this up. None of that Gnome or Flamingo business!
This lawn ornament idea will give neighbors the impression that a certain silly wabbit has taken up residence on your property.
For those who do have a lawn of some kind, they could probably get all this at Home Depot today. The mailbox, decal letters, and a wooden post. Ideally it would be a smaller mailbox, I just used this size so you can see it in the picture! As for the hole, I recommend burying two small stacked black potting plants, so you can remove the top-most one and empty it if need be. A round black stone could also do the trick. I’d also make the mailbox removable for easier mowing.
If you want to mess with the mailman once in awhile you could leave half-eaten carrots strewn about near the hole.
Sorry for all the Looney Tunes posts as of late. I guess when I work on one idea featuring LT, they all sort of creep into my head.
Pepé Le Pew Fragrance Bottle
I mentioned this in the earlier Penelopé Pussycat post, but I’ve been meaning to use Pepé for a long time. It seems fitting he should be placed on a fragrance bottle of some sort.
Now having a skunk on a fragrance bottle might be a huge turn-off for the unknowing consumer. For those who do know Pepé, this imagery is more about personality than odor. It is about romance, confidence, determination, and persistence. Maybe some obliviousness as well.
Given the choice, I’d love to pick something like this up over a can of AXE spray, for instance. This Pepé bottle is charming, whereas the AXE brand is horrific in it’s overall identity.
I did find this one item available online, which depicts Pepé and Penelopé on a perfume bottle. It’s nice but I think a more manly item is needed, something that can reside in the men’s grooming section by the CK and BRUT and all those fancy brands.
Here is the logo, though it can be given any name. A few alternates: Chase, Allo Darleeng, and Resist-a-Moi.
I was just looking at the bottle mockup above – and this was completely unintentional – but Pepé’s tail is aimed at the bottle opening. It’s like the source of the fragrance. Clever placement, but accidental I assure you!
Wile E. Coyote Blueprints Wallpaper Part 2: Anvil Drop
UPDATE: This is now available as a poster you can buy. Check it out here.
I was about half-finished this one when I released the first one a few days ago – thought I’d go ahead and complete it for a post. I still intend to post many more of these, and probably ones featured in Pinky and the Brain as well.
Here are the wallpapers, two large ones and one for the iPhone, click to enlarge:
I’m going to have a few of these printed as actual blueprints to use as posters. I will give away a few to readers of this site, just trying to figure out how. In a way that benefits a charity, methinks. If you have any suggestions on how to do a freebie giveaway, let me know.
Wile E. Coyote Blueprints Wallpaper
The plan had me at BOOM!
UPDATE: This is now available as a poster you can buy. Check it out here.
Originally this was slated to be part of the Mad Scientist Gear series, but I decided to make these a regular feature. Introducing Wile E. Coyote’s series of blueprints featuring backfiring trap designs.
These will be facsimiles of the blueprints as they appeared in the cartoons. I know they look very clean and simplistic, but that’s how they looked. I’m sure you could add a ‘worn paper’ look to the images easily enough if you so choose.
I would like Warner Bros. to offer these as posters, but they currently do not. For now they’ll do as desktop wallpapers. Or you could go to Fathead.com and get yourself a wall decal. Or you could get some actual blueprints made! Decisions decisions.
Two large sizes and one for the iPhone, click to enlarge:
I will post a new blueprint every so often. Hope you like them!
