I put another new mug at my Zazzle gallery, Toontopia. If you are looking for a holiday gift for that special someone that likes cartoons and coffee, then check out some of my mugs. |

My halftone tutorials are fairly popular items on this blog, so I thought I’d look around for some other halftone tutorials. What I found was a great article on 3 vector halftone programs. I ended up purchasing Vectorraster from Lost Minds. It was only $20, and they let you download a free trial first. I haven’t played around with it too much, but I was really impressed with the results. |

This week’s IllustrationFriday topic was music. I drew this guy a while ago, but I thought I’d share him this week since he went with the theme. |

| I wanted to add a little note, since this has been coming up lately with some of my illustrations on this blog. These illustrations aren’t up here to be used for free. If you would like to purchase this illustration or others, I sell many illustrations as royalty free licenses at istockphoto.com. Here is a link to this illustration or the same one without the background. I love that people are interested in my artwork, but this is also how I make my living. So, please purchase a legitimate license if you want to use something. |

Another record month for me. Hopefully, I can keep breaking records every month. I have to admit that I felt a little lost this month after I hit my $2000 goal. I was waiting for someone to show up and give me directions to my new $3000 goal. I’m sure as I get closer, I’ll get more focused. For now, I’m just breaking my main goal down into smaller monthly goals.
