World of Color Merch!

I recently had the pleasure of discovering some of my work on sale at Disneyland!

One of the new items currently on sale is this World of Color Throw Blanket! While it's only available, in person, at Disneyland (although I am hopeful it soon becomes available online) you can order your very own by calling Disneyland directly. The number is 1-800-362-4533.

You'd better act fast though, before my mom buys them all.

ARTIST FOR HIRE

Recently, I have had some great opportunities to do some commission work for a few folks, and I thought I'd formally announce that I'd love to do more! Commission work is a great way to explore new characters and new ideas, and I get to meet great people too!

Currently, I am offering two different sizes for commissions, as shown in the chart below.


To get an idea of the style and medium (digital/colored pencil) I'm offering for commission work, check out these samples on my Flickr page. The subject matter is up to you!

Typically, my turnaround time is 2 weeks, and you will have an opportunity to see a work-in-progress sketch before I finish your piece. Shipping on each piece is included in the commission fee for continental US residents, and I will gladly quote a shipping fee for whatever country you happen to live in!

If you are interested in purchasing a commission piece, just send me an email with the subject "I NEED A PURTY PICTURE". All payments are received through PayPal (unless we agree to something more groovy). All commissions are to be paid in full, in advance. No sneaky snakes!

Hitchhickers No More!

I recently had the opportunity to do a fantastic commission for my friend Louie. My only parameter was that it had to involve the famous Hitchhiking Ghosts from the classic Disney attraction. I love to draw cars, and felt that it was high time these guys finally got a set of wheels to get them out of town.

You can check out a work-in-progress sketch and download a desktop wallpaper of the final illustration!

Thanks again Louie! You rock!

Silly Spider-Mans

A few weeks back I started doing very silly drawings of Spider-Man. I'm not sure why, but I just did. I am a firm believer in drawing what YOU want to draw, and so every now and again I'll sit down and do a silly Spider-Man drawing. I am trying to not be afraid of posting a really bad drawing, and trying to concern myself more with personal expression and experimenting with different techniques and mediums.

I've begun to grow quite a collection (which you can see here) and have begun to give some of them away! Fancy that!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these drawings as much as I enjoy making them, and I look forward to making more!

Happy Birthday Spider-Man!

To celebrate the birthday of my favorite super hero, I felt it necessary to draw him a parade. You can check out the larger view over on my Flickr page!.

The Bored Wonder

We've been on a big Batman kick in our house lately, watching the Adam West Batman movie along with playing with all of our sweet Imaginext Batman toys (sometimes I let my boys play too). So I felt it appropriate to draw a drawing featuring the dynamic duo racing off to face some foe... or to get coffee... I'm not sure.

You can see the larger Bat-Drawing on Flickr and you can purchase the original drawing here!

All proceeds go to my wife.

Banjo Pig

So there is this super cool/awesome webblogernets site called DUELING BANJO PIGS where the premise is to simply draw and submit pigs playing the banjo. It's a really neat idea, and I wanted to play too... so here's my entry!

You can also purchase the o-rig-i-nal artwork here!

OINK!

He-Man Silly Art

I am so not afeared of making crappy fan art. I love drawing stuff I want to draw, so I drew He-Man cutting off Skeletor's head. It seemed appropriate. I'm also in a colored pencil phase right now... been so for the last 4 months or so, so this piece is more of my colored pencil nonsense.

Anywhoway... you can see the whole illustration over on Flickr AND you can actually take this piece of artwork home! That's right... it's for sale!

BY THE POWER OF STARBUCKS!

Iron Mac

I love super cheesy desktops, and sometimes when I find myself in a creative funk, I'll take a break and make some desktop wallpapers. Anywho, I thought it appropriate that I design some Iron Man wallpapers since IM is super hot right now (and crazy cool etc. etc. etc.). I added the Apple logo in the middle because I wanted this particular desktop to look as if my computer WAS Iron Man!

You can download a few different versions:

Original Mark III Iron Mac

Original WAR MACHINE Iron Mac

Enjoy! PEW PEW!

Rowbutt Dads

I can't believe I missed this opportunity to hawk (hock?) some of my crappy art onto you people! Sheesh! So... a month or 7 ago, I did a series of dads that are robots called ROWBUTT DADS. It's a series of 4 small illustrations that will ensure hilarity and other good feelings whence looked upon. Guaranteed.

I've posted this series a few different places, but the best place is on my Etsy page... where you can buy it. It's super awesome, and if you act now you'll also receive this invisible sweater! You can't lose!

Buy this series now!

Happy Father's Day

For father's day, I thought I'd give myself the gift of my own crappy artwerkz, and draw a self portrait of myself with my two boys. Happy Father's day, fathers!

See the self portrait over on Flickr!

Harold

I love drawing monsters and I love making desktop wallpapers, so... here's Harold! You can download him now!

Facebook

I've recently created a Facebook page for my graphic design and illustration work. If you'd like to join me on Facebook, or want my work updates in your Facebook feed, then head on over! I certainly appreciate it!

Joey on Facebook!

Cappy vs. BP

A new desktop wallpaper featuring Captain America punching out some dude wearing a BP shirt. Yeah! Go Cappy!

Download it over yonder!

Dribbble

I was recently drafted to participate on the website Dribbble, where artists and designers are invited to share small thumbnails or screengrabs of projects they are currently working on. It's a neat way to share new work without spilling the beans. I'm also making the effort to share new work that I don't share anywhere else... mainly my graphic design work. Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far, and I invite you to take a look and see all of the talented people that participate!

Check it out!

Okuma Directmail

I rarely share my graphic design work outside of Hawse because I like to share it AS Hawse (being a team player is important, kids!) but I felt like this particular piece was one that shows how illustration and design can go together quite well.

Note that everything shown in this piece was 100% customized. The photography was all digitaly composited and all of the products shown were illustrated 100% digitally.

Check out my Okuma Direct Mail over at Flickr!

Rollercoasters & Cake

My oldest son just celebrated his birthday. This work shows the illustration I did for his birthday invitation.

You can see some of the sketches here and check out the final over yonder!

Latest Icons

Anyone that follows me on Twitter knows that I can't stand to have the same icon every day. I wanted to share some of my newer Icons over on Flickr. There's Watchmen, Turtles, Star Wars, Power Rangers and many more!

Check'em out!

Reasonably Weird Stuff at Reasonably Cheap Prices

I do a lot of drawings. Scratch that. I do a lot of weird drawings. I do so many drawings, in fact, that I'm running out of room and had planned to just throw them all away. Then it dawned on me that I might be able to sell some of these drawings and buy some coffee with my earnings! Drawings for coffee! I love it!

Anyway, I've started a new set on Flickr called "Reasonably Weird Stuff at Reasonably Cheap Prices". This set includes all of the weird stuff I draw that you, the sucker... I mean the customer can purchase at cheap prices. Each piece is typically in the $5 -$10 range with shipping at just $5. Heck, I'll even ship multiple pieces for just $5. Oh, what the heck, I'll even ship my cat for $5.

If you see something you like, send me an email (you'll see the contact info once you click on a piece) and let me know that you want it. It's that easy.

My artwork makes great "graduation" presents, "wedding" presents, "sorry I hit your dog" presents, "I'm not convinced that baby is mine" presents... you get the idea!

Check it out. I hope you see something you like. I need coffee.

New Desktops!

I've been so busy with other thing, that I totally forgot to mention that I have some new desktop wallpapers for your computerz!

There's a new Batman desktop, a few Donald Ducks, a Mickey Mouse and even a weird Spiderman desktop.

Check them out!
