LEGO Catwoman For The Win!
In case you hadn’t heard, LEGO is coming out with some superhero sets in 2012. They’ve got licenses for both DC & Marvel and if you’ve read even only a few posts here at the blog you know that I’m fairly giddy about this.
Anyway, LEGO’s been holding a contest where you submit your LEGO superhero creations and, drumroll please… I won!
Yep, LEGO Catwoman here won me all of the upcoming 2012 LEGO DC Universe sets! Hee-hee! Hee-hee-hee! WOO!
See? Giddy!

My Mom’s Painting
My mom retired a while back, and she’s gotten to finally enjoy some time following one of her passions, watercolor.
She’s been on a tear lately, painting furiously and winning awards at some art fairs. Above is her latest and I thought it would be fun to show her off a bit and see where I inherited my art ability from. (Click on the image to enlarge it.)
Apparently people have been pestering her for prints of this and previous work. Maybe I’ll have to be her manager. 😉
Awful Superhero Halloween Costumes I’d Love To See – Bug Catcher Spider-Man
This week’s awful costume I’d like to see made real is from a toy I used to have on a shelf in my office, Bug Catcher Spider-Man:
You know, if this was Insect Catcher Spider-Man, I’d be less concerned, but “bug” is so non-specific…
There’s all kinds of awesome details to this costume, so don’t miss checking out all my old pics. And, please, someone put this costume in production!
Cartoons – The Perfect Holiday Gift
I was at the mall the other day and all of the stores had their holiday stuff out.
At first I was indignant. “What the…?! Already? We’re just barely into October!” Then I began to think about putting together gifts for my clients, and almost instantly I went from “too soon” to “OMG! THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!”
After some deep breathing and brainstorming I’m feeling better about the gifts I’ll be sending out, but in case you’re in the same boat I was, might I suggest a novel idea for your holiday giving? Cartoons!
Andertoons.com is now selling both framed hand drawn original art, and premium matted prints of all of my cartoons. They’re the perfect unique gift for that hard to buy for client, co-worker, boss, friend, or family member. And there are thousands to choose from, so you’re sure to find something that’s just right.
Think about it, it’s a piece of art, it’s a conversation piece, and it’s a good laugh to boot. And I can pretty much guarantee you’ll be the only one getting them a cartoon this year.
I’m offering any cartoon in my inventory as both framed hand drawn art and as matted prints. Here’s what they look like and some info on each:
