He had YELLOW Eyes, so help me YELLOW Eyes!!


Oh Farkas, and his crummy little toady Grover Gill. Just one of my fav characters from a great movie. Uncle! UNCLE!!
Had fun with the wood fence, and still trying to capture the characters as cupcakes

TurkeyCakes


I really really enjoy holiday theme graphics. So the months of October-November & December are always a good time for visual delights!! The older 50-60's cardboard hangups are a personal fav.
Soo I wanted to do a holiday theme for November and obviously went Thanksgiving as the turkey allowed some fun play with plaid and patterns!

Johnny Stirring Up some Halloween Cupcake Mix


Halloween. My fav. Every year, Johnny releases a fresh batch of Halloween themed shirts. They come in cupcake mix boxes. They are sweet. And each year its a new theme. This year was a circus type theme, hence the ring leader outfit. The graphics are just always soo top notch. Of course the whole thing is just done so well. It would be a dream to design one of them one day. But until then...

Ultimate Warrior Cupcake


One day Johnny posted a youtube clip of the Ultimate Warrior - I took that and ran with it. I always like picking up little nuggets and just REALLY expanding on them. Doing an entire theme just based off that one item and really use it for inspiration!

Its Better than Hip - Hop



Wanted to do a Hip-Hop tribute with Johnny Cupcakes theme. Posted these on FB and Johnny asked if he could print the Biggie: Ready to Bake!!

Johnny 8-bit



felt like doing some pixel art as i really enjoy the geometric blocks and making it work. Obviously wanted to do something iconic so went with Mario 3 - and then something VERY Johnny Cupcakes related with a slight nod, so I went with a Mega-Man Johnny and set it in something resembling his LA store
