Congrats to all those Moms-to-be!

It sorta seems like it is the season for babies...i guess that summer luving is in the air?? i have heard in the past there were studies about an increase in pregnancies around the summer months...but whether that is true or not i cannot say but it sure seems to me that plenty of people i know are expecting! to celebrate all those moms-to-be here is a little congratulatory card with a message to match! hopefully u only pass this one along (and the congrats) to someone who IS actually preggers! ;)

The Energy Drink for the Hef of Pooches

Okay...so there is a story behind this cartoon and I have not just lost my brain completely and am not by any means now peddling a sex drive type energy drink for pooches! No, I have thankfully retained more sanity, and dignity, than that! So the story goes that a good friend of mine was given AMPLE amounts of this crazy concoction of an energy drink choicely named 'Sex Drive Energy Drink' by a coworker. Said coworker had embarked upon a business venture of his own and had hoped to make millions (as he most surely would, right?!?!) selling this stuff as it took the market by storm. As one might expect this new drink was not the best selling force this young man hoped it would be and as fate would have it he was then left with cases upon cases of the junk that he couldn't sell and was thus now giving it away to anyone and everyone he could talk into taking some. Never one to pass up a freebie (no matter how absurd it was) my friend helped out his coworker by taking a few (okay much more than a few!) cases of this crap home. Now my friend also has an awesome dog, Pre, and amidst the usual cracks on why my friend was keeping slews of this crazy energy drink in his house as I'm sure you can imagine, I thought it may be funny to think just what this adorable pooch may do should he gain access to the amazing power of this energy drink. And so this cartoon was born and here it is. The moral my friends is that if you want to make a quick mill...don't bank on doing it by selling to an already inundated market of energy drinks and ED remedies...and certainly don't try to appeal to both! ;)

Running cartoons and mixed media designs

Well, if you have yet to discover i am a big running geek. :) I did this little cartoon for a friend of mine; it is actually his photograph i used in the background and i added in the runners and the little quip at the end. I've been dabbling around with my friend Bill in some fun new art pieces with mixed media. I've been using his photos for the backgrounds and inserting some of my art/characters into the foregrounds/backgrounds. You can see lots more of what we are collaborating on at my website in the oH No aRt section. It's been fun experimenting so be on the look out for more! :P

Some inspired art for Father's Day! :)

Well, tomorrow is Father's Day, so if you haven't sent your dear old Dad a card yet, you may want to send him this little diddy! Who doesn't appreciate a good poop joke?!?! ;) You can find this card over at Pigspigot...and be sure to send some love to Pops!

Sample of pencil art piece in progress

Sorry for long silence on my end; but here is what i was working on today. i did the person with pencils then scanned her in and did a quick background on the computer. she is actually going to be one part in a larger piece that is in progress; but i was pleased how she turned out and wanted to put up on her own.

on a different note i've also been tweaking my website: http://caitchock.com/
i threw in some new pictures and got rid of a few. i'm still having trouble on the web tech end; i want the home page to be a 2x2 grid layout but for whatever reason even if i make the images smaller they won't line up! after too much frustration and a headache i gave up but will revisit it again when i no longer want to chuck the computer at the wall. :P also, not sure if i've posted a link to my Zazzle store where i've been putting some of my designs on shirts and such: http://www.zazzle.com/caitchock* but feel free to check it out and drop me a line if u have any feedback, comments, or pictures you've seen around and have a special request for.

alright, until later!

Happy birthday to you...you look like a pinata and spew candy like one too!

This cartoon comes to you courtesy of my 'old man'...Dad that is! ;) It was Pop's birthday so I created him this little card, and if u like it u can send it urself too. I hope you are all doing well and avoiding being whacked by a bunch of candy crazed youngsters!

You know guys rule the house when...the toilet seat is perpetually left up

So this above cartoon is actually the first one in a series I'm going to do entitled, "10 Signs Guys Have Taken over the House," and if you have meandered over to my Fitness Stop Blog you've already seen it. But this one is for "The Toilet Seat is Perpetually Left Up!" and it has been turned into a Mother's Day card over at Pigspigot if you wanted to send one to dear Mom on her special day! ;)

I'll post up the second cartoon later, so you can check back here or if you really can't wait it is up on my other blog. :)
