Somebody caught me mid sketch, creating custom sketch trading cards for people. Two of the favorites that I created that day were Succotash as the Eleventh Doctor, from Doctor Who (complete with a rocking fez, because fez’s are cool!), and Succotash also as Colossus from the X-Men. If you have any photo’s of any of the cards I created and sold that day, feel free to send them on over and I’ll paste them up for all to see!

See you at the next convention!

Last Sunday was my birthday.

And it was by far one of the best.

My wife and I both wound up working a show in Dedham, Massachusetts, where she was performing, and I was sitting behind my artists vending table, wearing massively stunning fez, selling Peanizles t-shirts, comic books, and original art. When my wife surprised me with a birthday cake. Now, this wasn’t just any old birthday cake. No. It was a red-velvet, chocolate ganache, with butter-cream frosting cake, that most importantly looked like the TARDIS.

The cake was simply amazing–delicious, too.

It was such a a great replica of the Doctor’s TARDIS, complete with the “Police Box” logo on the top on all for sides, three dimensional paneling all the way around, and a little personal “Happy Birthday Don” on the front plaque. It was super-awesome.

If you are looking to have any custom cakes made, please check out Sarah’s Novelty Cakes. Now, I’m off to have one more bite of the TARDIS.

Happy Halloween Peanizles fans!

Chuck and the gang wanted to show off this year Halloween costumes, just before they hit your house for some candy. There’s Chuck dressed in his best Hellboy, and B.P.R.D. gear, complete with giant red hand (all the better to get more candy with); Succotash dressed as his favorite vagabond Timelord, the ever-loving Eleventh Doctor, from the BBC’s Doctor Who; Grace is just purr-fect in her black cat suit, performing her best Catwoman impersonation; Nick, the stick figure dresses as he does every year, the timeless Hobo; J.R. is doing his best Spaceman; while Oliver, the Monster, just went as himself!

Enjoy, and make sure to give out the good candy this year. But, make sure to save a piece for yourself.

This is the first non-Peanizles cartoon piece that I’ve posted here, but when Chuck saw it he insisted that I post it up immediately. It started out as a daily, morning warm-up sketch that I finished up with color and everything. I have become a fan of The Regular Show, and as I was trying my first crack at sketching Mordecai and Rigby, it seemed a bit natural to turn them into my favorite television character, the Doctor. So, as Mordecai transformed into my favorite Timelord, I needed to come up with an adversary and who better than the Doctor’s natural foe, the Daleks. And Benson’s shapes and bubblegum machine body transformed into a red Dalek incredibly easy.

Enjoy!
