Wait!... That's not a Sasquatch.

I've managed to weasel my way into the Sasquatch! poster show this year (thanks friends!). The poster is getting screen printed at the moment, so I'll update with a photo when they come in.

The show itself is at the end of May. You should come! It'll be a blast. I'll post details when they come.

The Absent Minded Illustrator

Usually, I don't post links to other websites but I just couldn't resist telling you aboutTeuxDeux.com.

I have the memory of a 70 year old... Which is unfortunate for an illustrator. To combat this, my wife and I have post-it notes everywhere with various little to-do lists on them. From doing the laundry, ordering new business cards, cleaning Maus' box (she's our cat), illustration and story ideas, and making sure I get exercise, the little lists are perhaps the most valuable tool I use as an illustrator and a human. Hence, I'm always on the lookout to find a better and more efficient ways to create and manage my lists. So, try out TeuxDeux!.. It's free! I love the format and simplicity of it, and it'll cut my office supply budget by a wapping 599 cents a month!

iPhone OS icons

Admittedly, I'm not a HTML guru but I did manage to add a iPhone/iPod Touch icon for this blog and Maus Cat Correspondence.

To add to your home screen:

1. To add, just go to my blog on your device then touch the "+" at the bottom menu

2. Select "Add to Home Screen"

3. Preview the icon and change the name if you'd like

4. Touch the "Add" button in the upper right corner

*I'm pretty proud of this... I usually don't speak interweb/html.

Maus Cat Correspondence

About a year ago, my wife told me that I could and should make some greeting cards to sell at her store in UVillage. I was a bit reluctant at first, but managed to make a Valentine's Day card and sold 14 in a 2 week period! Since then, I've illustrated 12 different greeting cards and sold just over a hundred. I now have a business license, and I'm going to see if any other stores would be willing to sell them on consignment.

I've put together a blog. Take a look! Each card is $3.50.

Email my cat Maus for orders, card ideas, and even illustration jobs. Eventually, I'll get a full on website, but right now its just a Tim and Maus Cat operation.

(My goal is to sell enough to pay my student loans each month... If I do the math correctly, that means that I need to sell 192.85 cards/month. Yikes!)
