This week’s IllustrationFriday topic was idle, so I drew this guy sitting idly meditating. This was from a freelance project that got squashed several months ago, so I decided to finish it up. |

This week’s IllustrationFriday topic was tango. Tango made me think about all the radio operator words for letters, so I drew a cartoon walkie-talkie. It was either that or draw some goofy animals dancing (which I still might have to do). Anyway, I did this in Adobe Illustrator. |

This week’s IllustrationFriday topic was hollow. I drew a little monster for "Hollow-ween". OK, so it isn’t anywhere near Halloween and it doesn’t really have anything to do with the theme, but this is what I have this week. Anyway, the inspiration for this is from when I was a little kid. I used to draw these monsters that were basically a big scribble of hair with eyes and feet. I don’t really remember exactly what they looked like, so this is a reimagining of them. Oh and happy "Hollow-ween"! |

Currently, I’m not selling extended licences, but I’ve been toying with the idea of opening them up for my images. My goal is to get to $2000 a month by the end of the year and selling the extra licences should make a big difference. Check back next month for my July numbers.
