A ways back I did a little licensed project for @marvel and this was one of the rejected pieces. The note I got back was “Please don’t accessorize our characters.” 🤣🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjqBrtjPwn/?igshid=7rfcpalwgbig

The reviews are in!... Gizmo’s 12 Days of Christmas is available now and makes a great gift! Don’t just take my word for it... “Puts a kid-friendly twist on the yuletide mayhem caused by Stripe and his mischievous cohorts. “ ― Syfy Wire “Will delight adults and children alike.” ― Forces of Geek “Bought for my 4 year old and it’s quite a gruesome book. Nothing Christmas-y about this. Yes I’ve seen the movie and completely know the storyline but I did not anticipate how inappropriate this book would be.” ― Lady on Amazon #gremlins #picturebook #picturebookillustration #kidslitart #phoebecates https://www.instagram.com/p/CIixnaoj5qU/?igshid=1q7lxmv866uos

Stripe plugging his nose as he sinks to the bottom of the pool is one of my favorite bits in the movie. I could have sworn he winks at the camera, too, but upon the many rewatches I did researching this book I must have made that up. I drew the wink anyway. 😉 #gremlins #picturebook #kidslitart https://www.instagram.com/p/CITQbuUD8JV/?igshid=up6js5c4f6oh

Great horny toads. Sheriff Kitty ain’t no namby-pamby. This cat’s in league with some of the rootinest and the tootinest. #characterdesign #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQ9IXrj4Pk/?igshid=1r7vakyn2szoj

Sheriff Kitty who shoots crayon bullets and who also hawks chickens. SK is an antagonist in our game and based on a character my mom made for my room when I was a baby. She painted J’s on the bum pockets for my name so I kept ‘em. #characterdesign #conceptart #gamedev #kittycat https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQuTzaj9Ra/?igshid=vhrff4cwsab6

When I was a kid, we didn't have the MCU. We had RAD. Christmas, '87, my poor parents pulled together every resource to make sure Santa put a beautiful pacific blue GT Performer under the tree. It was my Red Ryder BB Gun and it was the most glorious sight my 8-year-old eyes had ever seen. Old Saint Nick had my worn-out VHS of RAD to blame for such an imposing request. From the first minute of freestyle BMX magic to the last, RAD is still dazzling today. Mondo sent me an angel with this project and I can only hope I've done it some justice. This limited edition poster will go on sale tomorrow @mondonews! #mondo #rad #radmovie #radbmx #bmx #bmxfreestyle #bmxracing #bmxbikes #bmxoldschool #poster #posterdesign #screenprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZQ9KfjxwD/?igshid=1t0vmho7of4fn
