Violet-green Swallow and American Goldfinch

A couple more bird designs for sale at our ChuckleTree Etsy Store.

This time it's the Violet-green Swallow (Tachycineta thalassina) and American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis). I decided to mix it up a bit and have the goldfinch perched on a Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare). I know the Bull Thistles are an invasive species, but I liked the bit of complimentary pink, and I have read that American Goldfinches eat their seeds.

80s Monster Tiki Ornaments

Lately I have been turning my 80s and 90s tiki monster designs into little papercraft ornaments.

We currently have these for sale at our Etsy store – ChuckleTree. They can also be purchased through our Facebook web-site.

For anyone living in the Boise, Idaho area we also have them for sale at the Miss Courageous studio on the corner of Irving and Orchard. Just look for the bright pink sign. I recommend checking out the store. It just opened this month, and has a lot of fun pop-culture gifts.

My lovely wife Anna spent a good portion of March creating a beautiful new joint web-site to display our art and illustrations.  Come on by and pay us a visit!  Unlike a real theater we don't charge admission, and you won't stick to the floors.

Dan and Anna's Cardboard Palace

A collaboration between myself and Anna Lee.  We were originally going to do a No Such Luck website for our projects together (drawing ourselves as homeless people), but scrapped the idea when we realized that it probably wasn't the most positive way to promote ourselves.  Because we had already done so much of the groundwork we decided to finish the project anyway.  

Anna did an entry in her blog with some progress pictures. It can be found here.

Muppets Matches

Myself and the beautiful and talented Ms. Anna Lee have been working on modern Muppet two-somes with more contemporary figures in popular culture.  For this one we've paired two notorious sour-pusses, Sam Eagle and Peter Boyle, out for a ride on the tea cups.

And for this one we've paired British comedian/musician Bill Bailey with Rowlf the Dog.
