Sorry for the lack of activity lately! I have been editing hundreds of posts these past few months as part of my cleanup effort. While I was sorting through all my art I stumbled on something I made a few years back, but decided not to post: this PIXAR case based on the Pizza Planet truck, which has been seen in every PIXAR film.

Started watching Adventure Time this past month, and it’s safe to say I’m a big fan. It’s a whimsical, carefree show which makes for a nice chaser for something like Breaking Bad.
I made this design very simple because I am often told my concepts are too expensive to execute. It is a cardboard sleeve with an insert that holds several Blu-Ray cases. It is based on BMO (Beemo), a character fashioned after an old Game Boy.

The easiest cases for me to design are based on actual cases. So when I saw that ‘Vamonos Pest’ stage case roll by a few episodes ago, I knew it would be perfect for a collection.

Here is a simple sign design for Realtors, based on the board game Monopoly. The sign itself is like a property space from the game, and there is a house at the top of the mast (could be a red hotel if this was a commercial property).
Note: a few Realtors have asked me if they could run with this. I think it’s mostly safe but I’m not a lawyer so proceed at your own risk.
UPDATE: There is now one you can try to make based on Super Mario Bros 3.
You know those 3D movie posters McFarlane Toys sells? Now you can make something similar for video games. Here is a fun, inexpensive DIY decoration idea for a rainy day: a picture box frame that contains a diorama of a video game screenshot. Now you can hang a 3D image of your favorite video game on the wall!

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.
I loathe office chairs because despite their initial good looks and comfort, they are not durable. I’ve burned through a few chairs because of their poor quality.
That said, I have designed what I feel is the one chair to rule them all. This heavy duty chair is a monster: steel frame, redundant wheels, shock absorbers, and tension springs. It is painted yellow to alert your co-workers of its presence; a trait symbolic of its construction equipment pedigree. Essentially a Tonka chair!
