Thanks guys!

 

The limited versions are now sold out, the fastest sell out since series 1, and there was only 100 of those!

[shiverbones]

I believe your art will inspire a whole new set of young and inspiring talent.

Incredibly nice of you to say!

Wacky Packages...

[Doctor Svord]

Matthew, that's very, very cool man! Congratulations!

[nocutename]

Very cool. Good luck!

[Flee-Marquette]

Me likey. I ordered a few sets.

Can't wait to see your future efforts!

Hooray they are up! Here is the image of the original art, so the outline hasn't been cut out, and the typo hasn't been fixed... (Not my fault it was on the original gag sketch!)

 

 

COOL PIC!!!

 

Who comes up with the idea, you as the artist, or the company who produces them? My guess would be they assign the idea to you as opposed to running the risk of having you as the artist create something overly similar to other ones in the same series or in previous series.

Did you do your own Typography?

 

If so, it's a nice homage.

[shiverbones]

Thanks guys!

 

For this one, the spoof was provided by a gag writer. They encourage artists to write gags too, I have yet to get one approved though. I'll keep trying

 

The lettering was the hardest part for me, it is so tedious. I scanned the actual bottle, manipulated it in photoshop & illustrator, then got that down on the illustration board to paint.

And of course the expensive set is sold out.
