My first market of the year is coming up!

Floral Dinosaurs for @GoodLuckSock.com. Some of my most popular designs are dinosaur related. Either I'm really good at drawing them, or everybody loves dinosaurs no matter what. Either way, I'm happy to have a job where I get to draw them.

Bats for @GoodLuckSock. One of my favorite Calvin & Hobbes storylines is Calvin's report on Bats. It's a good lesson to fact check your own assumptions, and not double down on what you feel is correct.

Buttons at my Etsy.

Honeybees for @GoodLuckSock. Some things are deceptively hard to draw. In this case, bees. You'd think there wasn't much to drawing these small fuzzy guys, but drawing them wrong is a billion times easier than drawing them right. Much like drawing hands.

Easter Dinos for @GoodLuckSock. A hard part about getting older is your favorite candies get discontinued; or some corporate bean-counter decides to corrupt the original recipe. I used to love Cadbury cream eggs, but they're so terrible now it's like eating a sugary crayon.

Corgi Soldiers for @GoodLuckSock. The history of using animals in warfare is fascinating. Dogs have been employed to deliver supplies, food, pull sleds, and in WW2, deliver bombs to tanks (don't google this if you were hoping a good outcome for the anti-tank dogs)

Beaver design made for @GoodLuckSock. Long term followers may remember the time I briefly became internet famous with my beaver Flatten the Curve poster at the start of the pandemic. As an artist you never really can tell what will catch the eye of the people; that, or I severely underestimate the popularity of beaver pictures on the internet.

'Monkey's Paw'. It's been a while since I've plugged my Redbubble (Link in bio). While my day job has some nice overlaps with my own interests, there's still some esoteric and extremely specific interests I don't get to spend time with, so I still work on art on the side.

'Crazy Golf' for @GoodLuckSock. In the 00's, through a friend of a friend, I got unlimited free play access to a Golden Tee arcade machine. I found out if you hit your golf ball into the trees, and just kept going, you'd eventually reach the White House with a UFO on the lawn. I think Clinton was greeting the aliens. Fun easter egg!

Swans for @GoodLuckSock. I'm an eldest sibling, so I was forced to endure movies my youngest siblings watched. Why do I bring this up? The Swan Princess was probably played over 8 million times in my home growing up. My burning hatred for that movie that will probably outlast the heat death of the universe.

Komodo Dragons for @GoodLuckSock. Reptiles have fascinated me since I was a kid. In Canada, I don't see too many wild reptiles other than snakes. Which is why I always love going to Mexico. I saw so many iguanas around Cancun, and lizards in around early morning Teotihuacan.

Bigfoot at the Lake for @GoodLuckSock. I'm not sure if Bigfoot is real, but looking for him is a lot of fun. I went with my wife to Harrison Hot Springs, the Bigfoot sighting capitol of Canada, and we didn't find him, but we did find the Bigfoot Museum. And also delicious Chocolate Bigfeet at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

I'm excited I can start finally sharing some more recent work now that @GoodLuckSock has released the new collection! For this design, I was using my previous Velociraptors design success as a springboard. Since T-Rex is so much bigger, I opted for some nice palm trees for him to peep out of.

No more peeping Santa. ChrisMoet.RedBubble.com

Santa Claus T-Rex Design I created for @GoodLuckSock. It was fun figuring out how dinosaurs, with the materials available to them, could reproduce Santa's flight. Fun fact: there is a concept of this where the T-Rex has a beard.

One last market for the year. Come drop on by on a cold December's night. #art #yegart #yegartscene #yegartist
