It’s a sweet and slightly sour Lemon cupcake! With a bear face on it. I completely forgot I have this illustration of a “cupcake bear” which I only found while cleaning out my folders. I think this is going to be a good fit to Illustration Friday’s “sour” theme even though I’ve already submitted for this week.

Bears and cupcakes are among my favorite things so this is an unbeatable combination for me. This is just one of four related images I’m putting on stickers and button pins which are going on sale over at my Etsy shop– watch this space. I’ll announce it as soon as I have it. (If you have an RSS reader, you can also subscribe to my RSS feed for updates)

And speaking of button pins, the giveaway is still active– Leave a comment at the post to get the chance to win one of four button pins, free! Who doesn’t like free stuff?

And an update on my Threadless submission: 400+ votes in 1 day– keep them coming! I really appreciate the efforts of everyone who took the time to cast their vote! Thank you! :)

For Illustration Friday’s Sour theme. As they say, there’s no use in crying over spilt milk. Especially if it’s milk gone sour.

Comments will be appreciated! :)

My shirt design up for scoring on Threadless

A little over a week ago I submitted my Monster Sushi illustration for a t-shirt design over at Threadless. It’s been approved for scoring and I would really appreciate it if you head on over there to vote! A high overall score helps the Threadless team in deciding which shirts to print and a printed design wins the designer $2000 freakin’ dollars. That’s big money when converted to Pesos; equivalent to around seven months worth of rent on my condo!

So please vote and vote 5 ;) You will need to register after voting (if you don’t already have an account with them) to make your vote count. Registering isn’t that much of a drag because Threadless is a cool site anyway where you can rate fantastic shirt designs and if they get printed, you have the option to buy the shirt(s) you voted for. So head on over there and vote for Monster Sushi!

I tried out the services of a print-on-demand printer at a nearby mall with a set of pinback buttons I designed with my site name and logo on it. I want to use this opportunity to promote my website by giving away four of these buttons to FOUR people who will comment on this specific blog entry!

Leave a comment (any comment!) below to qualify; doesn’t matter if you just stumbled onto this post or you’re a regular visitor or if you’re overseas! On July 18, Friday, I will randomly pick four commenters to win one random button each. I will notify you by e-mail to get an address I can mail out your Wedgienet.net button to! Sounds good, right?

Leave a comment below and make sure to enter a correct e-mail address so I can contact you if you win. Don’t worry, your e-mail address will be for my eyes only and will not be shared with any third-party sites!

(and btw, I’m having my Threadless submission voted on; if you want to vote, that’d be great!)
