First, are you on Twitter? Because I am. And I have a nice, Halloween-y Twitter background with smiling pumpkins and candy corn.

Want it? You got it.

Just right-click on the image above, save to your computer and in your Twitter settings, go to the Design tab and change your background image, pointing your browser to the image file you just saved. Be sure to turn on tiling.

Don’t have Twitter (what’s wrong with you)? No worries, you can also set the image above as your desktop background in your OS settings. Again, don’t forget to turn on tiling. Or you can download wallpaper fit for your screen resolution:

Sweet Tooth
Choose your resolution: 1024 x 768 | 1280 x 960 | 1440 x 900 | 1600 x 1200

See mine?

I cleaned up my files and folders on my desktop just for this screen grab so you better go download. However if Halloween is not your thing, I have regular, non-holiday wallpapers over on my Downloads section and I’m looking to add more to those if time permits. In the meantime, happy Halloween!

I am giving away a set of sushi stationery to 1 lucky person who leaves a comment on this particular post on Salad for Breakfast. Just read the full details and mechanics of the contest on that site and join away… Sarah of SFB will be using a random number generator to pick a winner but I might just pick out another consolation prize winner myself. Wink, wink!

This contest runs until July 9th and is open to EVERYONE. Goodluck!

Also check out the Google Friend Connect widget thingee I installed on the right sidebar. What it does is it lets you “follow” my blog and receive new posts right on your Blogger dashboard/Google Reader when I update! That means you don’t have to come ’round this site to check for new posts (and find none). Instead, you’re updated a few minutes after I hit “publish” on this blog.

Please join as it’s really sad seeing only two followers (and I’m one of them, too). I just discovered there’s a small number of people already following my blog via Google Reader, though. I’m surprised. I thought I only had two visitors or something. Won’t you come out from lurking and introduce yourself? :)

First up for the stitchy people– a free Easter bunny in a basket PDF embroidery pattern (or coloring page)!

Print this out and transfer onto your fabric by taping the page up to a brightly-lit window and tracing the outline with a fabric pen. You can also use transfer paper to transfer the illustration on to your fabric.

And let’s not leave out the crafty paper posse as I also have free printable Easter stationery sheets:

Free Easter stationery sheets – Click to download the PDF (5.3 MB)

This stationery page fits three sheets on a letter-sized page. Just print it out as many or as little pages as you need using your colored home printer and cut along the provided lines.

Both downloads are in .PDF format. You will need the free Adobe Reader to view these files.

With Easter just a few days away, these are perfect for those last-minute Easter shoppers who missed out on scouring their local shops for Easter goodies. They’re all here and they’re even free! Do keep in mind though that while these are free to download, they’re only for your personal use and by no means will they be used for commercial purposes. I still retain copyright to the artwork.

Also check out the matching Easter goods you can get at the following Etsy shops:

Egg-citing Easter Print and Cut PDF Stationery Set – Click here to purchase on Etsy ($4.50)

Enjoy and Happy Easter!

I like the little bear dude a lot (he’s a character I’ve been drawing since my college days– I will have to dig out my early 2002 sketches of him when he looked a lot different from today) so I colored him digitally and turned him into a nice wallpaper also free for download.

Click to download the image above as a desktop wallpaper at the following sizes:
1024 x 768
1280 x 800
1440 x 900

Enjoy!

These are just some of the notebooks we’re selling- recycled cereal box covers (because cereal boxes are so fun to look at) and covers with my own designs and illustrations. I started listing items two weeks ago and I’m happy to say I had my first seven sales today!

All buyers at my shop will receive free a free button pin with their order (until supplies last) as part of the store opening promo, but here’s another promo where no purchase is necessary.

I am making a print-your-own PDF of the gift tags pictured above available for download, FREE. All you have to do is go to my shop, go to the SHOP POLICIES page linked from the sidebar on the right, and search for a password somewhere on the first page (it’s very easy to spot). Once you have it, go to this post to type in the password and you will be given the instant download link. Save the PDF to your computer (you will need the free Adobe Reader to view the file) and print! These 3 x 2 tags are great for occasions such as birthdays, Valentine’s, or just to slip a quick hello to someone.

So what are you waiting for?
1. Go to my shop and view my shop policies (the link to the shop policies is on right sidebar of the shop)
2. Look for the password
3. Type in the password on this post!

Enjoy!

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!
