I worked on some new illustrations over the weekend inspired by Alice in Wonderland (the rabbit isn’t new, he’s just Wonderland-related). Enjoy.

Today’s Mystery Monday is all about how to eat sushi properly, in case you care.

In other news, NEW TEES! They’re about monkeys and tools. Fun.

Worked on several new tees over the weekend and here they are:

Some of you may recall that I rescued an abandoned cat this past spring. We named him Bigby, which is how it’s pronounced, really his name is Big B. as in Big Bad Cat. This cat is definitely big (17 lbs) and definitely bad. Some of his favorite antics include hitting us, trying to trip us, trying to steal our food, trying to maul us when we trim his claws, and trying to paw at my wife’s boobs. This cat is a straight up thug. I guess you can take the cat out of the street…

Any way, my wife has insisted we get this cat a muzzle for grooming. Who knew they even made cat muzzles? Well they do, and this is some freaky S&M kitty gear. Just in time for Halloween even. Too bad we can’t make him hand out candy, he’d definitely scare the children.

All this kitty’s mischief inspired my new pirate kitty illustration. Check him out, he looks just like my bad cat.

I’m excited for the new Where the Wild Things Are movie and it inspired my newest illustration:

A few more new illustrations are in my sketchpad and will be online this week. I’ve been doing more sketchpad illustration lately (usually I do more digital) just to change things up.

Don’t forget I’m still looking for inspiration, share your t-shirt design ideas on Facebook and win two free tees.

I designed a new tee over the weekend. I think it’s cute’ish.

We had a dinner party over the weekend and between salad and soup, my cat decided to steal my seat at the table. Check him out, he looks like he’s waiting to be served.

New design, ladies and gents. Please buy one? I have to feed my ever-expanding cat expensive diet food.

If you’re a regular visitor to this blog, you may remember that a few months ago I rescued two abandoned cats. Yesterday the wife and I (Wife! Crazy!) took Hobbes for a booster shot and the vet told us this guy needs to lose some weight. Because he. is. seventeen. and a half. pounds. Before you report us to social services, please understand that this cat is big-boned. Seriously; this guy’s paws are gigantic, and when he stands on his hind paws he can put his front paws on our counter top. It’s like we have a little mountain lion running around the house. You should hear him trotting down the hall upstairs, it sounds like a herd of elephants. I tried to point this out to our vet, but she still insisted Hobbes was getting pudgy, even for a big-boned part-mountain lion.

So Hobbes (and our other cats) are now on a new and more expensive diet cat food. Awesome. Maybe if you guys didn’t spend 22 hours a day in bed you wouldn’t be packing on the pounds. Just a thought. I am amazed they don’t get bed sores. You’ve never seen lazier animals.

I’m hoping Hobbes’ new food will help him slim down a bit, but if that doesn’t work, there are options:

1. Coffee in the water fountain
The cats have a fancy water fountain that’s supposed to encourage them to drink more water. I’m thinking maybe it’s time to switch my boys to coffee. Kitties on speed will not only result in good Youtube fooder, but all that caffeine might keep them from spending their entire day in bed. Imagine how much more productive my cats could be with a little morning joe. I bet I’d never see another house fly again.

2. Treadmill
We’ve all seen the very excellent videos of cats on treadmills, no? Perhaps it’s time to invest in one for my cats. Not only would this be great exercise, I am thinking we could knit them some leg warmers and headbands. They’d look adorable, like feline Jane Fondas or Olivia Newton Johns.

3. Kitty Thinspiration
I think part of the issue with my cats’ obesity is that they’re pretty proud of themselves. You should see them lying on their backs, tummies in full view, paws in the air. They take great pride in their excess baggage.

You’ve heard of pasting skinny models to your fridge to keep on your diet? Maybe what we need are photos from Cat Fancy of svelte pretty kitties to shame our boys into some self-control. Living in the media-free bubble that is our household, our cats have no concept of socially accepted beauty. A self-conscious cat is a health-conscious cat. Bring on the kitty fashion mags!

P.S. None of the above suggestions are approved by veterinarians. I am only kidding. Please do not try these ideas at home.

P.P.S. I (and our vet) think our cats are pretty rad at any size. We just don’t want them developing kitty diabetes or heart failure. Shit is real. Protect ya neck!

Penguins in love, what could be more romantic?

Inspired by an episode of 30 Rock, I designed these new Werewolf Bar Mitzvah t-shirts. Apparently Tracy Morgan recorded the “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” song in its entirety. I really need to download that.
