Yep! That’s right. I’m a failure…
There are so many things I wanted to complete by the end of 2018 and I didn’t finish any of them!
Resolutions for 2018:
Always trying to update my Threadless shop with new products, so if you’re looking for some one-of-a-kind pillows, my shop is the place to go for some awesome designs.
I’m always adding to the shop, so keep checking back for brand new designs and products.
More pillow designs are in the process of being made, so check back often if you’re looking for something specific, or just let me know what you’re looking for and maybe I can help you find what you’re looking for.
Thank for stopping by, and head on over the contact page for any questions, comments, or just to say hello!

Hiteto! Hello!
I’ve been working on some new designs and artwork for a new shop that I’ve opened up on Threadless.com.
Some of the designs can be found on Society6 and Redbubble, but I am creating some artwork and designs that can only be found on threadless.
I hope you check it out and share it around. All designs are original. Hit me up on Facebook or through the contact page here on the blog and let me know what you think or if you have any questions and/or comments about anything.

For most parents, their kids are heading back to school.
But in about a week or so our little boy, Eli, will be heading off to school to attend his very first day.
We’re both excited and scared, wondering how he will do without us around and surrounded by new people.
We also worry about how he will develop and grow. If he will be able to learn as well as the other children.
So, I am looking into different home-based learning materials to be able to teach him some basic concepts and keep his mind stimulated. Continue reading
When I think of the studio that I want the most, I see a lot of space.
I love space.
Big room. High ceilings. Even a loft to look out over my studio from while sipping on my $8 dollar La Moneda Reserva Malbec (you should try it)… Continue reading
People love to draw, whether it’s a large masterpiece or a small doodle in the corner of their homework.
But could you imagine, in the corner of your homework, was a doodle masterpiece?
Even your teachers or professors would be amazed! Continue reading
As an artist, I sit on my butt a lot and I usually don’t like moving from my chair, especially when I have ideas flowing.
But I have constant problems with lower back pain, and I know without a doubt that it’s caused from sitting on my butt all day long.
So, my wife and I have been looking for an easy diet and exercise program or book that would help get our lives on track to a healthier life, and there’s one book that helped tremendously. Continue reading
Not a whole lot has changed really. Just cruising through life the best that I know how.
I’m still writing and drawing on my books, and I’m still creating artwork for my online stores, though I haven’t posted any new art yet.
I’ve been busy with work and trying to save some money to buy more art supplies, which is really hard nowadays it seems like.
I’ve been struggling with the decision to give up art for while in order to get things lined back up and save some cash. I don’t buy a whole of materials and what I do buy goes quickly, especially when my ideas are coming faster than I can get them onto a canvas or into Photoshop. Continue reading
“Campfire” by Michael Daugherty
Painting is something I’ve been teaching myself over the last few years and am just now really starting to get a hang of.
I’m still searching for my own style and voice.
Up until I started painting my go-to medium was pencil and paper, then later came painting with acrylics and watercolors, and finally, I got into digital painting when I purchased my Wacom Intuos Comic graphics tablet, with which I do most of my artwork on nowadays.
I began using acrylic paint mainly due to the fact that it was cheaper than oil paint. But, after using acrylics, I found that I loved using that medium and just stuck with it, and I don’t see myself switching to oil paint anytime soon. Continue reading
I know a lot of people have a hard time deciding on which art supplies to use for drawing, thinking they need the most expensive supplies out there. But, in reality, all you need is a yellow #2 pencil (mine are black), a good eraser, and some paper.
But most of the time my artwork is digital, meaning I use a graphics tablet to draw inside editing software, like Photoshop, directly onto my computer. There are few graphics tablets out there, so the best advice I can give you is to do your research and find one that you would feel comfortable with and also fits within your budget if you have one.
