54 Intercontinental Cuties: The Package Design!


Just wanted to show the box art for the girly playing cards I'm designing with Bill Presing, coming this July! Bill and I are REALLY excited about how these are turning out. And above is the rough design/ mock up of the box the cards are coming in. We knew from the get-go, we wanted to make 2 color cigarette box design packages for the cards to give it that "Grandpa's secret, naughty playing cards feel". Here's the dummy of what they will look like (without the art on it).

We thought about doing a flight attendant theme for the box since the cards each represent a different country, so Bill did these awesome drawings.



So here's a peek at the finished front and back design.

Inappropriate Golden Books: THE BOOK! (UPDATE!)



I've been having a lot of questions/inquiries about my golden book drawings recently, and I'm excited to say. YES! After 2 years of making them for fun, I finally compiled them, along with a couple new ones, into one place called a book. It's being printed as you read this in a magical land called "Hong Kong".
The book, "Movies R Fun" (part of the Lil' Inappropriate Book line) will be available at Comic-Con this year, hopefully APE in November, and here on my blog, alongside the 54 Intercontinental Cuties playing cards.
High quality, "classy" prints from the Inappropriate Golden Book will be available as well. Perfect for framing and placing into any child's nursery.





SPELLING UPDATE!

Thank you for all the coments about the accidental apostrophe that exists on my Silence of the Lambs drawing, and will exist in the book. I am ashamed. I come frum a long line of spellers. My grate, grate granfdather was the national spelling advisor to the Presedent of the United States, and his father before him wrote a little book you may have herd of called 'Webster's Dictionary", and his father before him invented the letter "K". So this horrible, unexcusable act has caused a unfixabull rift between me and my family, and needless to say, I've been ostrichsized. By law, I now have to go through town, whereing a rag of scarlet cloth in the shape of an apostrophe for all to see and judge me by. But I don't think this is write. How can one tiny, little, insignificant mark between a "t" and a"s" be that big a deel, when cats across the internet are writing 'i can has cheesburger' all the time? And 'all your base are belong to us'? And 'you've been P'WNED!!!!1' ? That last one has a NUMBER in the word! How is that OK? I die-gress. And appologize for the speling sin eye comited. Pleez knoo it whill haunnt mi sole fourever.
Tank ewe,
-Coolee'

54 Intercontinental Cuties!

How many times have you been playing a game of Crazy 8's or Go Fish with your Grandma, and wished you could be staring at sexy ladies instead? Well, ALACAZAM! Now you can do BOTH!

54 Intercontinental Cuties is a real playable deck of cards, with a unique pinup girl on each face representing a different country. The girly art was done by myself, Josh Cooley (visit cooleycooley.com, or don't, what do I care) and the Modern day Master of the Pinup, Bill Presing.

Bill asked me if I'd like to join him on this lil' project, which is like if you were a baseball fan...having Babe Ruth come up to you and ask if you want to draw a deck of girlie playing cards. So I said "uh...maybe". And we did. The cards will be ready in time for Comic-Con, and available on both of our blogs for sale.

So here's some rough ruffs from the card set. And before you send an angry email explaining to me that "Texas is not a country"... know that I just found that out. (Thank you Wikipedia) What can I say I'm a product of the California public school system.

More to Come!

I wanna text you up!

I'm speeding down the freeway and I keep seeing this in the cars next to me.

Texting


Are you serious? Typing with one finger on a tiny screen while traveling 80 mph? What are you some sort of a wizard? Or an idiot? You can't see anything on that tiny screen anyway. Drive with a laptop in your lap, like an adult....it's easier to type on.

Then I also keep seeing this!

Shaving


Driving with Butt


Ghostride the Whip
