The Briarcliff Motel

Richard, the owner of The Briarcliff Motel sent me these images of their new logos and signage, featuring my bear drawing (Disclaimer: I did not design the logo or put the design together, I just drew the bear used in the design). Unfortunately I did not have the time to visit while we did our US road trip last year, but the motel looks awesome and also got some great reviews on Trip Advisor.

I Love My Pug T-Shirt

Did a I Love My Pug illustration for all the Pug lovers out there, if you want it on a T-Shirt you can buy it from Zazzle here. Let me know if you want your favourite dog breed drawn and put on a shirt! I also did a version that says I Love Pugs, in case you are pug-crazy and have more than one, you can get that one here.

No Ron Swanson Shirt…

Ok, there is no question that Ron Swanson is the highlight of Parks and Recreation, I personally digg him so much that I decided to make a Ron Swanson shirt, so I thought what is more awesome than a Ron Swanson T-Shirt? A Ron Swanson T-Shirt with quotes!

So that is what I did, run into a bit of a problem though, when I uploaded my Ron Swanson drawing to Zazzle, Spreadshirt and some other print on demand t-shirt stores it became obvious that it is not allowed to create your own Ron Swanson shirt… (see email from Zazzle below)

Apparently Ron Swanson is trademarked and owned by NBCUniversal Television. Maybe this is the case with all TV caracters? Makes sense because NBC probably spent millions developing Parks and Recreation and the Ron Swanson caracter…

Anyway, here is my Ron Swanson drawing with quotes…
