POLAR BEAR CHRISTMAS CARDS

Many people find Polar Bears cute and funny. Though I would not like to spend a single moment in a Polar bear’s cage I could see how these yellow-white fur creatures have become so popular and lovable. They are very expressive with their mannerisms. Though I have never seen one wearing skates or a scarf yet their anthropomorphic qualities are so evident that I can easily imagine them doing stuff we do. Here is a set of cards featuring some arctic polar bears doing what you will actually never see them do but so well fit the Christmas-winter spirit!

LAIKA: DOG IN SPACE

On November 3 1957 the Soviet Union spacecraft Sputnik 2 was launched into space with only occupant a small female dog named Laika. Although Laika did not survive the trip, the experiment proved that a living passenger could survive being launched into orbit and endure weightlessness. It paved the way for human spaceflight and provided scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments. Laika's pioneering journey made her one of the most famous dogs in the world and this design commemorates Laika and her short lived adventure in space.

The Raven

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted--nevermore!

From the Edgar Allan Poe poem The Raven. Click on the image or here to link to the raven apparel.

GIRL VS GIRL and GIRLS in UNIFORM on Color apparel!

One of the first lines of designs introduced at the Teeteaser online store was GIRL VS GIRLS and GIRLS in UNIFORM. These have become the corner stones of our business and even now more than a year later every month we see many sales of these adorable designs. When these designs hit the market we were not yet invested into producing dark or color tees so the designs were not created in a fashion that will allow them to be printed in such garments. But many things have changed since then and now we carry a full line of dark and color apparel so it is about time to go back and re-work these favorite designs so anyone can now have to option to get them on color or dark apparel. Please visit our GIRL VS GIRLS and GIRLS in UNIFORM sections to see how good they look!

The Skull Fashion

One of the most popular trends this year has been skulls. Yes, the old bonehead is back or is making a come back. Teeteaser has added its own version of this popular subject in a few nice looking vintage designs that are going to find their place at your wardrobe. We even combined some of our skulls with some new emerging popular motifs such as roses, flowers, electrical guitars, pistols and thorns.

Teeteaser sketchbook

From as long as I remember myself I remember me drawing. My career as an artist expands in more than two decades of work in various fields of the visual arts including animation, design, character design, illustration, comic books, book illustration, cartoons, storyboarding, fine art painting, you name it. During my professional career, I have received credits in numerous Hollywood and European feature animated films, commercials, and television shows. I have been nominated twice for an EMMY award and received one in 2006. In addition, I have also enjoyed my paintings exhibited in many galleries, my cartoons and comic books published in different languages, and my designs used in advertisements around the world. This sketchbook is a collection of pencil and digital drawings I created when I first launched my own t-shirt company on April 2006. The subject of these drawings is: pretty girls in sports, anime girls, and the Queens of the playing cards deck. All drawings are available in color at my online store: http://www.teeteaser.com decorating a variety of t-shirts and other fine products.

Where the Eagles Dare

The eagle has been used by many nations as a national symbol, depicting power, beauty and independence. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight to enable them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which cause minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. This picture of an eagle rushing through a burning ring of thorns symbolizes the continued endurance and braveness of this majestic bird. Inspired from Alistair MacLean's classic World War II novel and the motion picture adventure this design is also destined to become a classic.

CRIME TIME NEW EPISODE

Another of my CRIME TIME animated episode is up at youtube. Crime always pays - with big laughs in this clever series of rambunctious animated shorts. Shifty (The Criminal), a pint-sized pilferer with lofty ambitions and limited brainpower, perpetrates crimes from the sublime to the ridiculous - and never quite pulls them off, resulting in hilarious consequences. Rendered in a graphic style reminiscent of classic UPA shorts, the action is nothing short of... arresting! Shifty (The Criminal) pulls paint duty at the penitentiary, where, chased by a mean police dog, he has a brush with escape.
