What's an FFO (Friday's Foreing Objects) you may ask yourself. There's a good chance yourself wont know before I tell it. Well, it's a Friday post that showcases some awesome art/design/creative pieces other people (ie. not me) have done. Eazy peazy really. The selection may vary from a single product to a hundred products - ok, that's not true, I probably wouldn't post a hundred at once since I do need sleep and all. But I would post more than two at once depending on what my digging yields. :)
And this week? Well, we better get on with the show, don't we?
Mooood swing card. If you're female, you know why I'd post this:
What unicorns are made of... essential knowledge for survival :D
Given how much I love animals this shouldn't come as a surpise:
And to round off this theme, the always awesome giraffe (who seems to have taken a shine on a tree):

Mah first calendar
The very very very first calendar I've ever made. If I remember correctly. I could be mistaken too... frankly, I wouldn't trust my brain further than I can throw it. Which might be some distance if I had the chance, but you know.. you rarely have the chance to do something like that with your own brain.
The calendar. Yes. It has flowers! W00t! So I visited a few local flower shops and asked them if they'd kindly let me photograph their stuff in exchange for some "publicity" (ie. getting credit for their products and services at the back of the calendar) and they agreed. And I can honestly say that the photos turned out ok. Moreover, I kinda like the calendar and the way it turned out. There shall be more of this sort. Really, there will be more flower calendars, BUT there'll also be one of cats and one of chocolate. I figured everyone should be reminded just how delicious chocolate is every day of the week, every month of the year, from now until the day they die.
I might possibly be enabling some choco-holics....
eh.. Calendar!

Uncle Vlad gone wild!
The first store category and the first ever design I created for commercial use.. is based on Dracula. Because I'm a cliché like that. Everyone loves to poke fun at dracula. No wait, actually, I think most people take him and vampires in general WAY too seriously. If they didn't, there probably wouldn't be a market for one or two (or three, depends on who you ask) ridiculously popular ongoing vampire franchises.
IMO, just because you're dead, or undead or need to eat your steaks really rare, it doesn't mean you automatically lose your sense of humour or stop talking like normal people.
Well, I guess if you used to be a vegetarian before turning vampire, the blood thing might drag you down a bit.
Anyhooo.. getting completely off topic. So I poked some fun at The Big Poppa of all vampires; Vlad Tepes. It just needed to happen.

Bookplates made of photos
I have all kinds of bookplates in the store (a whole category just for them, in fact.. because books are your friends, and you need to label your friends and write your name on them so that everyone knows they're your property. That's how friendship works, ammarite?). The percentages are pretty even between ex libris I've drawn and the ones that are created from photographs. BUT... the ones made of photographs are a wee bit more individual, what with there only being one of each photo. The fact that you can manipulate a photo to make something fresh is completely besides the point. :)
