MimoPowerTubes

MimoPowerTube - fish with beard

This is a MimoPowerTube. A what? It's a rechargeable backup battery that powers up smartphones and other mobile devices. It's like a portable charger, and it comes with various plugs to fit your various devices.

Mimoco released a limited edition Artist Series of PowerTubes at the San Diego Comic Con last month, and there's a few Fish With Beards left. You can buy one here. The Chasing Stars tube is sold out.

okay let's do this - an ideal temporary tattoo for getting hitched

Tattly wedding

I never thought my Okay Let's Do This temporary tattoo (from Tattly) would play a role in a wedding, but here it is. I guess it's a pretty appropriate saying for a couple about to tie the knot.

I found this on the Wedding Bells magazine site (via this Buzzfeed article, thanks to @OhNoWereFalling). Photography by Jayme Morrison.

Check for other available drawings and signed prints in the shop.

holiday gift time

Yup, it's that time of year again when we're looking for nice gifts for the people we care about (including ourselves). So I thought I'd put together a collection of some of the things I've got available around the webs:

Society6 shop

Society6 has added mugs and kids' tees and onesies, and they've updated their tote bags. And of course there's iphone cases and skins, t-shirts, framed prints and more.

Oh, and they've got free worldwide shipping on almost everything from now until December 2nd!

Tattly

Temporary tattoos from Tattly are absolute terrificness. And only $5 per pack.

Ohh Deer: cards and pillows and more

This year I partnered with Ohh Deer, a UK-based company, to offer a collection of greeting cards, cushions, prints and more. They sell online as well as through retailers in the UK and elsewhere. So if you are in Europe, they might be a good place to order from.

+++++++

There's more (like my book), but I don't want to overdo it (I'm sure I already have!). I've created a page dedicated to everything of mine that's available online. Just click the big blue rectangle below to see it. Oh, and happy holidays!

"I made these drawings for you" book is on sale

Amazon has my book on sale!
20% off through Amazon.com and about 20% off through Amazon.co.uk.

That's $19.66* in the US (instead of $25.00!) and £12.83* in the UK (instead of £15.95). 

See more photos of the book and links to all the Amazon sites that sell it.

So you know, I have no control over Amazon's discounting (and it doesn't affect my royalties). It has nothing to do with inventory clearance: the book is printed on demand, so there's always copies available. 

So if you haven't bought the book yet, well, go get it! Over 110 drawings of ridiculousness!

Get it from Amazon.com for $19.66 US.
Get it from Amazon.co.uk for £12.83.

* Prices updated as of August 1, 2013. They fluctuate daily. Fine print is fun!

new signed prints

let's run amok

I've been making lots of new prints available in the shop over the last little while, so I thought it was time to show some of them off.

By the way, they're all signed by me, and they're just $20 each (unframed).

Have a look: Society6

sixty dollar drawings

I made nine drawings last night, and they're just $60 each. See them in the shop.

Before I even sat down to draw them, I knew I'd be selling them for much less than my normal pricing. I was conducting an experiment. I wanted to see if I created differently, knowing that the end price was going to be lower. I have say, it was kind of freeing. The ideas flowed more easily, and there was no pressure to create anything too precious. In the end, I think the results were quite good (if I'm allowed to say so?). All kinds of worthwhile ideas bubbled to the surface.

So I could have raised the prices, now that I'm happy with the results, but I wanted to commit to this experiment. I need to believe that there is an endless supply of ideas (it hasn't felt like that lately), and there will always be many many more drawings to make.

"stop the bad music" t-shirt for Graniph in Japan

"Stop the bad music" is now available as a t-shirt from Graniph. They are a large chain of t-shirt stores, with dozens of locations throughout Japan and several spots in Australia, Taiwan and Hong Kong (and an online shop as well).

They put my signature in the back of the shirt just below the neck, which I thought was a nice touch:

(A side note: the agreement I signed with Graniph was very artist-friendly, so I think companies like this need to be encouraged. Too often companies want the artist to give up all their rights, with aggressively written contracts. Not so with these guys. So hooray for Graniph!)
