Spobbles’ Gift

Person using their mobile device walks their pet, Spobbles, down the street. They share a message: "Spobbles left me a 'gift' in my shoe this morning. LOL" to social media.

Spobbles thinks: "Can't even stop looking at their device for a few minutes to walk me..."

"... I'm totally going to shit in their shoe again tomorrow."

A blue creature pets their green pet, Noodles, and says to them:
The internet told me about these new "chef-inspired" meals from Beastly Feasts. Would you like those, Noodles?
(Noodles perks up)

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Illustration is Hard Work

Being an Illustrator is the hardest job on the entire planet. You have to make so many difficult decisions. For instance…

How do you depict a light bulb when they have a GOOD IDEA? Or a skull shopping for POISON at Costco?

How do you design an icon that communicates SAVE to a floppy disk? Or an icon that represents SEARCH to a magnifying glass?

Now that I think about it, being an Illustrator isn’t very hard at all. Firefighters exist. Forget I said anything.

Octopus Memory

An octopus reads the following message from a bottle:
Good to hear back from you again. Can you believe it? I’m an octopus as well! What are the odds that our messages would find each other across this great sea. Can I ask what you look like? I’ll go first. I’m a mint green Pacfic Swaddlerhead with yellowish spots. I live on a sandy beach littered with shells and kelp by the…

The octopus realizes something…

It was at that moment, Murble realized their octopus memory only lasted a few days and they had been writing to themself for several months.

A Hungry Power Strip

The top three pronged power outlet speaks into their phone:

Yeah.. I’d like three burritos - two medium, one spicy - two orders of tamales, four tacos, and some chips and salsa for delivery. Right.. Extra salsa, please. $37.71? That’s great. See you soon.. Thanks!

Ends call

The topower outlet says to a power strip attached to the bottom power outlet:

You know.. our dinner orders have gone up significantly since you decided to add a power strip.

The Life Stages of a Candle
A tall, bright eyed candle represents Youth. A suave, happy slightly less tall candle represents College. A much more melted, half-sized, less happy candle represents Corporate Grind. A melted down pool of wax whose flame has gone out represents Retirement.
