Kaiju Usagi (Monster Bunny) Print

After a freak encounter with Substance X at the Playboy Club one night in 1967, bunny Marla Green went for a walk in Manhattan that would not soon be forgotten!

Unless I completely botched it, the translation from the poster should be something like "The Night of the Bunny Monster".

It's that time of year again folks! Here's my design for this years Huns Rugby pub crawl t-shirt. They had a special request this year to have an Australian theme to the shirt. One of their star players is moving back down under and they wanted to honor him on the pub crawl shirt.

Hammerhead ArqSpin

Here's an interactive spin animation of one of my customs. I really like the ArqBall platform. My only gripe is that the image quality isn't a little better. That could be due to the fact that I was shooting this on my iPhone. An iPad might do better.

Hey gang, my Big Trouble in Little China inspired Lo Pan Express will be the t-shirt of the day at TeeFury on Thursday, August 23! This is a great opportunity to get one of my favorite designs for a great price.

Once the shirt goes live at midnight, you'll be able to purchase it here: www.teefury.com/

FYI- The Chinese characters say "Lo Pan Express". James Hong (Lo Pan) himself confirmed that I got it right. (So you don't have to worry that you're running around with a t-shirt that says Peking Duck or something. Oh, and I think they may be going with a darker red)

**Update**
Thanks for all the support! The sale went really well!
