Hugo’s Perfect Picnic Kickstarter is Live!

  • by

It’s been a long time coming, but “Hugo’s Perfect Picnic” is now on Kickstarter! This is an all-or-nothing campaign which means if the funding goal is not met, then the book will not go to print. So far, we are making good progress reaching our campaign, but I would like to have the campaign reach the stretch goals I’ve listed which will release more perks and bonuses to all backers. The campaign ends on November 26, so we have a lot of ground to cover to reach our goals. If you like monsters, cool art, and supporting independent work, be sure to back and share this campaign today!

I had the pleasure of making a commission for some friends who wanted an illustration of their family get-togethers. Looks like they have a lot of fun at these gatherings!

Hugo’s Perfect Picnic Sneak Peek

  • by

Here is a sneak peek of a story I’ve been working on. It’s titled Hugo’s Perfect Picnic, and is about a giant gorilla trying to find the perfect picnic spot. It’s based on a gag that I thought about a long time ago, but I felt like I needed to work on this story as a way to test out a new paper-cut style. It was a lot of fun to make, but at the moment, I’m not sure if it’s going to be something that I can self-publish, but in the meantime, I can share some of the art here for you all to enjoy.

Website update

  • by

Hey everyone, I got some big news regarding this website. You might have noticed that I’ve made a few changes on this site and that I am no longer posting anymore panda content on this site. That is because I am posting all Punching Pandas® content on punchingpandas.com. The change has been a long time coming, but I did so because I want to strengthen the pandas brand, but also allow this site to serve as my outlet for other creative endeavors.

One of the big changes to this site will be the removal of the online store. The store will remain functional on punchingpandas.com and will feature the current catalog on my shop. I’m also updating the catalog with some new products in the new future, so be sure to check the panda store for any updates.

Anyways, there are a few bugs left to figure out, so thank you for your patience if you experience any problems with the new website structure. If you have any questions, please reach out to me on my contact page. Cheers!

Inktober 2018

  • by

Every year, panda do Inktober, but each year, panda get busier and busier. This year, panda do only 5-minute Inktobers with panda drinking hooman coffee drinks. Coffee drinks are delicious, but panda can’t seem to sleep. Panda will post the rest of Inktobers after panda finishes nap, but the problem is, panda can’t start nap.

Also, pet hooman, Nolen is also doing Inktober on his Instagram. Sometime drawings look weird, but whatever floats hooman boat, I guess.

Coloring Book Now Available!

  • by

Panda just made new coloring book for hoomans available on panda shop. For some reason, hoomans like putting colors on black and white panda drawings. In panda’s opinion, black and white drawings look just fine. Or if hoomans have no money, hoomans can sign up for email list and receive free five-page sample of coloring book that has black and white drawings that look just fine as black and white drawings.

Akira Tribute Piece

  • by

I recently completed a piece for Q Pop Shop’s “Neo Tokyo: A Tribute to the World of Akira” art show running from July 27 to August 12. 2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the anime film “Akira” directed by Katsuhiro Otomo based on his own anime. The piece is titled “Circles” which I used to base the design on. This piece was done with sumi and vermillion inks on hot-press watercolor paper.

You can visit Q Pop’s site to see the other pieces in the show which are all available for purchase. If you’re in the area, snap a photo of my piece with yourself doing a weird pose in front of it.

Lastly, I made a timelapse of the piece on YouTube below.

World Cup Pandas

Panda watch World Cup on TV and don’t understand hoomans. Panda did not see any cups at all. Just a bunch of hoomans moving ball with feet. It looks too tiring. Panda congratulates French hoomans for moving ball with feet the best.
