TMNT ABCs (New and Improved)

They are heroes in a half shell... and all the letters of the alphabet. Now up for voting to become an officially licensed shirt at Threadless.

I decide to take another swing at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles alphabet, adjusting some of the designs that I wasn't too pleased with the first time around. All of the characters here have at least minor tweaks, mostly by giving them more detail and/or shading. I was also pretty happy to find Quarry as a new Q since I really didn't like my original choice. Still a bit disappointed that I had to choose between Shredder and Splinter though.

The original can still be found at http://baboondesign.blogspot.ca/2011/11/tmnt-abcs.html

Marvelphabet

I'd long considered doing a superhero-themed alphabet but I'd resisted for a variety of reasons, including the sheer immense scope of the superhero universe and the fact that there were other similar pieces out there.

Ultimately, however, superheroes and comics were such an important part of my childhood that I couldn't ignore them. So I added a bit of a challenge: I wanted to represent 26 heroes and 26 villains from a specific universe. I wanted to stick to their face and upper torso only (which meant, among other things, no wheelchair for "X" or extra arms for "o")

Introducing.... the Marvelphabet:

Also available in straight hero and villain versions:

 

Have fun guessing who is who.

Prints, shirts, pillows, throw pillows, iPhone cases and more available at Society6 and Redbubble.

P&F Alphabet

My kids and I have made something of a tradition of watching Phineas & Ferb every Saturday morning, so I created this piece for them. Have fun guessing who is who:

The Horror Icon Alphabet

After seeing the recent glut of kid-friendly fright flicks (ParaNorman, Hotel Transylvania, Frankenweenie), I knew what I wanted to get out of my system before Halloween... The Horror Icon Alphabet, featuring all of (or perhaps some of) your favorite classic horror characters and movie monsters:

What was fun with this one is that I tried to take some decidedly non-kid friendly characters and turn them into cute letter figures. I also tried for a mix of old-school horror and more recent films while including as many classics and subgenres of horror (J-Horror, horror comedies, etc) as possible. My biggest regret is that Gremlins didn't make the cut.

EDIT: Full key to who is who is as follows: Ash (Evil Dead), Beetlejuice, Chucky (Child's Play), Dracula, Elvira, Frankenstein's Monster, Ghostface (Scream), Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs), The Invisible Man, Jigsaw (Saw), Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Michael Myers (Halloween), Norman Bates (Psycho), Otis Driftwood (House of 1000 Corpses), Pinhead (Hellraiser), Quint (Jaws), Regan (The Exorcist), Samara (The Ring) / Sadako (Ringu), Jack Torrance (The Shining), Uruk-hai (The Lord of the Rings), Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th), the Wolfman, Xenomorph (Alien), Yellow Bastard (Sin City), Zombie Bub (Day of the Dead)

Shirts, hoodies, tote bags, iPhone cases, laptop skins and prints are available at Society6 and Redbubble.

Classic Toy Story

Now up for voting at Threadless:

Classic team
Classic characters
Classic film
Classic design


I wanted to pay tribute to the everlasting appeal of the Toy Story gang with a design based on the style of early Disney black and white animated shorts. Just as the early Disney films were pioneers of animation, Toy Story introduced the world to the wonders of computer animation and the joys of returning to our childhood.
