This week brings a lot of new things to the DD shop. Namely, tote bags and shirts for the menfolk! (see pictures below) Now, these two particular tote bags have already been claimed, but I have some more blank bags in stock and will be printing them up soon. Also:...
Bridge of Birds By Barry Hughart This was a surprising find. I'm not huge into the traditional Asian/Chinese style of storytelling, so the subtitle 'A Novel of an Ancient China that Never Was' made me hesitate just a tad. I'm glad I ended up picking it up. This is a...
My rough (but now ready to be screened) sketch-up of the four elements, the next design I'll be doing prints of.
The Devil You Know By Mike Carey This book started out so promising. It had a wise-cracking protaganist with a great name (Felix Fix Castor). It had good pace, good mystery, and some interesting characters, and of course a dash of the paranormal, as Felix is an...

So, I printed up some business cards for DA, for general purposes and also to serve as tags/labels to send out with the shirts. Check it out: Also, I had printed up a shirt for my friend Deb, whose birthday celebration was yesterday. Since she has received (and loved)...
Here's a quick preview of the next design that'll hit the DA shop. A bird on the wing. Or wind, in this case. This will be a fun one to experiment on with different color combos. UPDATE: This item is now up in the Etsy shop.
Target had Mossimo tees (super comfy) on sale, so I stocked up. Behold all of the possibilities! Edit: I didn't buy ALL of these today. This is just my shelf of stock
