the lobster

With the help of a friend I finally have a decent screen burned.  I pulled my first prints last night and was less than thrilled with my rusty screen printing skills.  Thank god my studio mate also teaches screen printing!  By 1:00AM I completed my first lobster toy model.   Some things were great, some things were not so great.  I'm hoping tonight I can iron out the malfunctions and have the final product completed.  At least the studio pit-bulls got to enjoy the reject lobster.

dog toys

I've decided to make a line (or two) of dog toys.  The first line will be Marine Critters.  I've always had an obsession with the ocean and for many years was studying to become a marine biologist.  So far art has won out, but having the chance to combine two of my passions is exciting!  Here's a sample of one of the drawings I've created for the line.  I'm hoping to have a few completed by this weekend (but they all need to be finished by opening night!)
