New in the Store: Holiday Reindeer

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Cafe Press Store update (mainly since sales there have been, shall we say, tepid) — but we now have a few products with this cutely attired reindeer made in time for the holidays. I did the illustration for our Christmas cards this year, and liked it so much I decided to have them printed in color instead of the usual hand-tinted b&w. The enterprise set me back more than a few bucks, but the cards turned out nice. Now we gotta send ’em.

New in the Store: Cute Baby Stuff

This adorable little tyke is the newest addition to the scrubbles store. Born on a baby shower invitation I designed for Max and his friend Amanda, it has now been modified to go on a baby bib, a romper, and a keepsake ornament. C’mon, you know you want one.

New in the Store: Happy Shoppers

This family of grocery shoppers have made their debut at The Scrubbles Store, available as both a spiffy tote bag and a nifty refrigerator magnet. Interesting that the drawing’s colors share a similarity to the authentically retro illustrations from a 1956 insurance booklet posted by Ward at his weblog.

Overall, I’m satisfied with this drawing — except that the woman’s legs are too realistic. They needed more simplification like the girl’s legs, and no delineation between feet and shoes. Simple is hard to do.

New in the Store: Perky Bird

This perky bird graces a couple of new items at the scrubbles store. I have it on a child’s baseball jersey and a jr. raglan, but it can be placed on anything by request. Want it on a thong? Sure thing.

Love (and T-Shirts) For Sale

hippocard.jpg Somebody I know gave me an ultimatim this week — get my art online for sale or else. In response, the Scrubbles Store has been reopened at CafePress. “It needs to be called the Matt Hinrichs Store,” responded the somebody. Whatever, I’ll address that later. Right now the only artwork per se for sale is a set of cards with my pink hippo illustration, along with a small variety of scrubbles.net logo items. The thing is, I don’t like CafePress all that much — the interface is convenient and everything, but they don’t pay much. Does anybody know of alternatives? I just want to sell basic things like t-shirts and cards. Heck, I could probably just buy a bunch of blank cards and do ’em myself.

I’ve also updated my portfolio with a couple of pieces — a Mama Cat illustration and one of my Rurouni Kenshin book cover designs. I looove the dramatic artwork on the Kenshin cover. Things are rather bitersweet right now on the RK front since I’m currently designing the final two volumes (which are due out out this Summer), a huge project that consumed much of 2005. I’m gonna miss that guy!
