Welcome Aboard the H. P. Lovecraft

This one is an (offhand) homage to H. P. Lovecraft (and an awesome coincidence that I'm posting it on Halloween). I was sitting one day, thinking of what an "H. P. Lovecraft" would look like, and this picture is the result. I tried to include as many 'monstery' things as I could. Not too much else to say. I know the colors might be weird, but this is what I envisioned. Hope you like it.
Final score: 2.37/5

Lon Tregacy

This was a design challenge for Threadless, and just by looking at the picture, you can guess what it's about. Tron Legacy: I can't wait. From the way that Disney has set up the plot and effects from the trailers, this movie is going to be amazing, especially in 3D, especially in IMAX 3D. That's all I really have to say about this one: it speaks for itself. The design process was experimental (as is often the case with my new pictures), but...well...I'll let you just look at it and shut up now.
Final score: 2.23/5

The (self-proclaimed) Pope

First off, I mean no disrespect by this. I don't have anything against the Pope or Catholicism. This was just an idea that popped into my head. Well, actually, it came from one of my buddies at work. See, he was doing trash at the end of the day and had the garbage bags he hadn't done yet wrapped over his neck, like a robe/sash. So I said something like "Hey, you're like...the bag-man Pope." Then I thought, "That would make a good picture." We debated on what the final product should look like: he suggested I try to recreate the 'Pope-mobile' from a bum's perspective: shopping cart with plastic covering instead of raised backseat with bulletproof glass. You can find a picture of what I'm talking about here.
I ended up scrapping that idea. It seemed like it would take too long, so I opted for what I'm best at: drawing people. This is the end result. Hope you guys like it, and, again, I mean no disrespect by this.

You're Getting Warmer!

Global warming/climate change is always a relevant issue, whether it is actually happening at the rate the media says it is or not. Taking it in a less seriously light could help spread awareness: a tee with a message, however 'non-serious' it is. The idea was to have the planets be at a party, playing a party game, perhaps Marco Polo/Hotter, Colder.
The Earth is moving closer to the Sun, hence the title. This will probably go over people's heads without a speech bubble coming from the Sun, saying: "You're Getting Warmer!" But we'll see.
This only took about an hour and a half collectively from start to finish, fairly quick. I didn't do a lot of effects because it is for a t-shirt. Hope you like it.
Final score: 2.51/5
