You’re probably asking yourself when I’m finally going to commit to one of these new projects. Well, the problem with how to draw animals was twofold. First, it was very labor intensive to produce a post. Second, I was getting very little feedback.

I’ve been working on snooglezoo and trying to give it direction for some time, it’s no longer just a cafepress store, because who cares about that? Here’s the deal- you send me some words, and I’ll draw a picture to go with it. Sort of like exploding dog, only not so stick-figurey, and probably more cute animals. ‘Cause that’s how I roll.

It’s been unusually quiet here this past month, hasn’t it? I moved. Again. And I’ve been working on a few things that should be some fun, for instance, see that little guy? Yeah, I’m going to add a section full of cute graphics like that little guy for your MySpacing pleasure. It’ll be a lot of the same images from the Snooglezoo, with lots of choices for sayings and that sort of thing. I’ve always wanted to get more interactive with this site- games and toys and whatnot, so I thought having some MySpace toys would do that nicely.

Here’s some proof that I occasionally draw on paper. With a real pencil.

This new snooglezoo thing is kind of a mixed blessing- I’m drawing more, and that’s good. But everything I’m drawing comes with the question “Can I turn this into something I can sell?”

It’s difficult striking the right balance; I want to make a living by drawing, but I don’t want to become a completely profit-motivated artist. I’m getting ahead of myself, though. I haven’t made a cent on CafePress yet, so really I don’t need to worry at all about profit. Just keep making cute stuff and the rest will take care of itself, right?
