Free Wallpaper Patterns!

The holidays are soon approaching! So in the spirit of giving, here are some patterns I made that can be used for desktop wallpapers, twitter backgrounds, or whatever weird technology kids are into!

Simply save one of the below images to your favorite desktop or twitter page, or what have you. Then make sure and click the option to tile the background image. Then just let the magic of tile science finish the job.


Presto, you're work is done!

The first pattern, "Outer Spoofs", explores the incredible vastness of the limitless universe... and has some really neat space rockets.



Here's an example of what the pattern looks like on my desktop:




Pattern two, "Wet Whistles", celebrates hydration in a day and age where so many of us forget to moisturize our insides.




Here's an example of what this pattern looks like on my desktop:


Anyway, these puppies are tried and tested, so they should work out fine! Let me know if y'alls have issues though. Happy holidays, enjoy the pattern fun... use them as wrapping paper or something. ALSO, stay tuned to hear what we have planned for Christmas over at Jeb Kennedy!

Cryptid Monsters Series

Here is the series of monster illustrations I made for Jeb Kennedy's "Month O' Monsters". I had a blast making these. I could draw monsters forever.

Month O' Monsters: Cryptid Type

We just finished our second annual Month O' Monsters at over at the Jeb Kennedy website. Looking over my series of monsters for the month, I'm happy with the turnout of my collection and also the monster illustrations of the other Jeb guys. Monsters are something we definitely all bond over, and we look forward to Month O' Monsters all year long.

This year I decided to do illustrations of "cryptid" monsters, which are also known as urban legend monsters. Basically they are monsters that are specific to an area that are believed to actually exist by some people. I've always been fascinated with "real" monsters, so this chosen theme got me really stoked about my  Month O' Monsters illustrations.

The requirements for the monsters I chose included: having a specific area of origin, being believed to exist by a large group of people, and recorded "eyewitness" accounts. Along with each illustration of the monsters, I wanted to include some hand drawn type that I felt fit with the monster, as well as a hand picked quote from an eyewitness report.

I will upload the actual illustrations of the monsters soon, but for now I'm just gonna start with some images of the hand type for each monster. I had a blast drawing and pairing a type for each monster.
