Tron art coming soon

Acme Archives Direct asked if I was interested in doing some Tron related art. Heck yeah! I said, or something similar. Anyway, they have a preview of it on their site. Mind you it's the rough mock up I sent them, but it's there to take a peak. Other great artists are also participating.

Custom iPhone and iPad cases

I have a few custom iPhone 3, iPhone 4 and iPad cases with my art available at Zazzle.com/stevethomas.

If there is artwork of mine you like, but don't see it on a case, let me know and I'll work one up for you.

Star Wars travel posters are finally here!

The first two Star Wars travel posters are up for sale Mos Eisley and The first two Star Wars travel posters are up for sale Kessel Run.

I'm sending out an email also. I apologize if I missed anyone. I had such a huge response and tried to keep up with all the comments and anyone who left their email. As well as combing through blogger profiles. Some didn't list email addresses. Does anyone know if there is a way to reply to all the commenters at one time?

The first two released are:




Just to clear up any confusion, there is an asterisk and a footnote on the Kessel Run poster explaining that a parsec is a measure of distance, not time. There is a close up of this on the Acme Archives website. Check it out!

I'll still be emailing all those who requested a note to let you know when they will be available.

Thanks again and stay tuned.

Mummy-owned deli logo

Second in a series of classic monster-owned restaurants. This one is an ancient Egyptian deli owned and operated by mummies. A scarab made from veggies and cheese. A name that is a pun (Two Ten Common = Tutankhamun). I figured they named the place after their address of 210 Common Ave. As always, shirts on sale here.

Visit Santa's workshop at the North Pole - vintage travel poster

Just in time for Christmas. It's a travel poster to Santa's workshop. My plan is to do one of these types of posters for each month so that by next Christmas I'll have a calendar ready. Next up will be New Year's at Times Square (or Sydney or both) for January. Prints, postcards and greeting cards are available here.

Zombie tshirt

Happy Halloween!

I've had an overwhelming response to my Star Wars travel poster post below. I appreciate all the comments. I'm hoping that the number of people interested will help with trying to get them printed. I'll let you all know when that happens.

While I'm waiting, I've jumped on the Zombie bandwagon. Actually this is the first of a "classic monster" tshirt series I'm working on. Each one based on a restaurant theme. It's sort of an homage to the premier of AMC's Walking Dead series.

Either I'm the biggest wimp in the world or I have a very over-active imagination. I'd like to think its the latter, but I know myself (I couldn't sleep for a week after seeing "The Ring"). I actually had a zombie nightmare the night after I did the thumbnail sketches for this.

A zombie diner tshirt has been done before, but I wanted to try my hand at it. And because I'm not very good at self editing, there are a couple of different colour combos and distressed or not distressed.

They are available at Zazzle.com.

Vintage Star Wars travel posters

**UPDATE** click here!
Well, I've been sitting on these for two years now (that is far too long) and since then I've seen every kind of Star Wars mash up imaginable (but hope to see some more creative ones in the future). I say "since then" because I really wasn't looking too hard before I completed these.

They are very much inspired by some of the vintage travel posters of the early 20th century.

These were done in association with a website in order to have them printed. That website is still working on making that a reality. I'm crossing my fingers for a quick resolve. So, for now they are just here to look at.

I decided I couldn't wait any longer to show them. With the release of the art book Star Wars: Visions, and everyone else sharing their awesome Star Wars inspired art, I wanted to throw mine into the web mix.

There are eight in all and you can see all of them together here.










If interested and you want to know when they will be available, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you. Thanks.

Halloween Jack 'o Leaf

As Halloween approaches, I've been thinking about what to carve in our pumpkins. Then I remembered this design I made a few years ago. It's for all the Canadians and maple leaf fans out there. It fits a medium-sized pumpkin.

The template:
Print this out and tape it to your pumpkin. Use a toothpick and poke holes along the dotted lines. This will give you a guide to cut when the paper is off. Cut out and remove all the grey shapes.


Unlit (sort of looks like a smiling jack'o lantern, eh?):



Lit:



Enjoy.
