"Step away from the pinchers and nobody gets hurt."

For Sale Friday #5: Digital Copy of 8: A Kid's Book Anthology for $2.99!
Dani Jones, creator of My Sister the Freak , Frosty the Gourdman, and other awesome stuff, has recently launched one of the coolest shops around. TheIllustratedSection.com is the marketplace for independent creators to sell their books, comics, and other creations as affordable digital PDF versions.
Print on demand services have made it easier than ever to self publish our books. The downside, however, is it is still an expensive process. A digital version is much more affordable and can be read on an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Kindle, Nook, Blackberry, or on any computer using Adobe Acrobat Reader (free).
So here's our awesome anthology for only $2.99! 8: A Kid's Anthology I recommend shopping around at TheIllustratedSection.com. There are tons of great books available (some are even FREE!)

Character Monday #5: The Crypto Kid
This is Julian Forrester from my long term project Morgan Monster Hunter and the Crypto Kid. He and Morgan Calhoun become reluctant heroes in a world where the adults have disappeared just as a monster invasion begins. This is a project that I wish was finished already because I personally want to see it. Alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

For Sale Friday #1: Textured Tapir Poster (Red and Green)
I just opened a shop at DenverWagner.etsy.com. I have decided to use etsy for my store because it is already the online destination for buyers of hand-made, original, and limited edition items. Over the next year I hope to build a solid reputation as a unique, prolific, and genuine creator of cool quality stuff.
It may take a little time to have a fully stocked store...I have lots of stuff I want to put in there! I will add AT LEAST one item per week on For Sale Fridays and they will vary in price, style and function. Every item will meet these three criteria: 1.) Hand-made original or limited edition, 2.) high production and design quality, and most importantly... 3.) I think it is cool.
Check out my first items Textured Tapir Posters and stop back for new items often. You dig?

Creature of the Week #1: Moonhead
The moonhead lives on the grassy plains of Nufsed. It sleeps for most of the day with its legs and head tucked under its body. This position keeps the moonhead hidden from the many predators of the Nufsed plains. Even from a short distance, a sleeping moonhead looks just like a large rock. As the sun sets, the moonheads begin stirring. Love is in the air and the plains begin to fill with thousands of bobbing and glowing moonhead heads. As the male approaches a female, literal sparks fly! The pair rears onto their hind legs and an electrical current bounces and crackles between their heads.

Character Mondays: Mokele Mbembe
During the 1970's and 80's, Mokele Mbembe was an ornery and reclusive fellow. Old age seems to have mellowed him out a bit.
Howdy. As part of an ongoing re-design of my website, I have added a new themed blog at denverwagner.com. I will be posting Character Mondays, Story Page Wednesday, For Sale Friday, and the Creature of the Week. Stay tuned for the opening of my etsy store, the release of my kid's book "Stack / Stuck", and more cool developments @ denverwagner.com.

"What Can I Do For You" #2 Patterns for the People!
Between "Stack" and my next story, I want to produce a series of relatively simple "What Can I Do For You" images. I will use them for the "call to action / about me" section of my website and also in a small printed portfolio for marketing and promotion.
I am very interested in licensing my work. There are millions of products that require decorative art and design. Single images work great on most products, but sometimes a large area needs to be filled. A repeating pattern can be used for stationary and office supplies, fabric prints, website backgrounds, and more. Here is an example using a kiwi and a kiwi:
