Weird Dog

A few years ago I made a creepy design for a contest. Here, below, is a dog which was part of the design:

I ordered a t-shirt with it and gave it to my brother. His wife said that this is my worst design 😀

Anyway, it didn’t win the contest and I haven’t published this design in any of my stores. As you know, my Threadless shop is a mess, it contains a bit of everything: lots of cats, dogs, other animals, and also space and nature and flower designs. But most of the designs are either cute or funny. A weird dog really wouldn’t fit.

I am thinking of opening a separate store for strange, scary designs. Everyone says that you should find your niche. It’s good if a store is thematically consistent so that customers know what they can expect. This will be a small store, I just need a name.

Magical Art

We spent another day fixing the gamepad issue in Summer Paws. Making games is awesome, but sometimes hunting down bugs takes a lot of time. And the bug that we are currently trying to fix is not even a bug in our code — it’s most likely an issue in the Unity engine.

I haven’t had time to draw anything new, but here’s a sketch that my brother and I made in a scratch book. It’s a sort of sketchbook that has pages coated in black paint, and you draw by scratching away the paint with a pen and revealing a holographic paint under it.

We got this from my mom for Christmas. Every drawing so far is created by both my brother and me. We took turns drawing the image above: he drew the guy sitting on the log, I drew the dog, he drew the bike, I drew the helmet and the backpack, and so on. This is great fun. And the silver paint that is underneath the black paint really shines as you see in the photo.

I found a similar sketchbook on Amazon.
