Sorry, Ma. Still in a bad mood. Actually, it’s a whole new bad mood.
It must be the beginning of Fourth Quarter- the weather has turned cold and everybody and their grand-pappy wants a new commercial RIGHT NOW OMG in time for the Christmas rush. I’m busy, and cold, and grumpy. Happens every year.
Three seamless patterns I made this morning
Surely there are more productive things I could be doing with my time. Especially because I can see the potential to sit around for hours moving individual elements in these patterns this way and that to keep any given pattern from looking too…tiley.
Fortunately I’m ultimately just not that obsessive, and thus I managed to make these fun little patterns in between waiting for video to render, or uploading some commercial to the server, or, y’know, whatever it was that I was supposed to have been doing this morning 
.
I have tiles suitable for desktops and backgrounds for websites. Shoot me a comment and I’ll make them available.

I am addicted to a little site called Threadless to the point that I had to put an embargo on buying t-shirts from them because it was getting expensive. I promised myself that I would not buy another shirt from threadless until I had one published there myself.
Except that I really, really need this shirt:
Seriously. This is printed on the inside of the shirt:
But, look, I don’t want to go back on my embargo. Because I need to start submitting my art to places where it might get rejected (the reasons why are a whole ‘nother post entirely). I also made a resolution to submit a design once a month this year, and I haven’t done it yet (granted, I made that resolution a week before the end of January, so it doesn’t count).
So here’s what I’m going to do. In the next week or so I’m going to submit my first design to Threadless, and beg you all to vote for it, and to get your friends, your family, your dog, to vote for it, too. I promise to try to make it as awesome as I can, because I respect the Threadless community, and I’m not about to submit junk just to fulfill some wierd obligation to myself. I’ll give myself leeway by buying the Invasion shirt if I get something submitted myself, regardless of whether it wins, and then I’ll go right back to the original embargo.
But, I’d really, really like to win
In an effort to draw more, I’ve been making monsters out of random blobby shapes. This guy was cute. There may be more of these.
