By Art of series, Website announcements

Can you guess the name of the original piece of art and by whom?

I’m very excited to be releasing my 5th piece of work in The Art of Series

This side project involves reinterpreting timeless art favourites through a cartoon filter and transporting it into modern living. It fuses iconic works of art with everyday life by incorporating the actual product (such as a tea towel, wall clock or phone case cover) within the context of the art illustration. In this way, I hope to bring some fun to everyday life when interacting with common household products… Yes, dish drying, can be fun!

Five e-stars to the person who correctly guesses first in the comments field below

Heard of Cartoonstock?

One Small Step

Cartoonstock.com is probably the largest online licenser of cartoons

Their self professed claim to fame is “Welcome to the universe’s largest cartoon database”

It’s been a goal of mine to make it to their listing of 1,000 cartoonists worldwide and after two attempts over 4 years, I was finally accepted to join the party. I would greatly appreciate it if you visit my listed cartoons by clicking here. If you get seduced to viewing all the other fantastic cartoons on offer and want to find me again, simply go to the search page and sort by cartoonist. Lucky me – I’m third bottom of the list under Zeitler, Martina.

Relaunch of Cosmic Caboodle

By Website announcements

We’re now bigger, bolder and betterCosmic Caboodle home page

For those of you who have followed my writing journey so far, you will be familiar with Cosmic Caboodle. It innocently started off as a book, How to make an Alien, and resulted in an spin off called Cosmic Caboodle (which was an integral part of the book’s plot).

Basically, Cosmic Caboodle is an Earth based online store (free!) which provides visitors with access to the wonders of the universe by allowing them to have their very own piece of the galaxy. Black holes, a rock from the moon or gravel from Mars. You name it, if the universe has it, then Cosmic Caboodle is all about bringing it to the comforts of your very own home.

Sounds awesome… I really want a black hole. What next?

Simple, you click the product (e.g.: black hole, planet, star) of your choice and Cosmic Caboodle will download it via your computer. You’ll end up with a user friendly pdf which you print to make your very own piece of the universe.

Cosmic Caboodle is about bringing the wonders of science and space to kids and inspiring them to learn more about the universe in which we live in. The universe is brought to life via DIY projects that allow you to interact and explore. A splash of alien fun, allows me to bring colour and life to visitors of the site. (I also, get to draw more aliens, my favourite type of character).

So, if you’re a bit curious, please visit Cosmic Caboodle. Better still, tell a friend or family member who has inquisitive children. It will keep the kids occupied and the parents free to sit down for 10 minutes to a cup of tea or coffee. To get started, subscribe and receive your very own eShowbag of universal fun.

Website redesign

Before and After…

Screen Shot 2015-07-09 at 3.33.39 pmYou may recall that earlier this year I migrated from WordPress hosted to self hosted, which gave me the added bonus of being able to fully customise my website. It’s pretty much 95% complete now, so check out the before and after shots on my brag page.

And make sure you actually visit the home page and slide your mouse over the header image to see Doug scoot past with his dung ball (for tablets, it should work by tilting your tablet from left to right).

Let me know what you think…

Introducing Cosmic Caboodle

By Science, Space and Aliens, Website announcements

Have you ever wanted to own your very own bit of outer space?

Perhaps a handful of gravel from Mars or a chunk of moon rock, or maybe you’re thinking a bit bigger… how about a planet, star or black hole?

Now you can own your very own piece of the universe

Come and visit as we are celebrating the official launch with a new product we call The Sizzler. Can you guess what it is? Check it out here.

In case you are wondering where this fits in with my regular postings, it was inspired by my soon to be released book How to make an Alien which involves outer space.   I set up this site to engage with lovers of outer space (and aliens 🙂 ).  I thought it would be a great way of continuing with the fun in the book.

Check out Cosmic Caboodle and leave a message to let me know what you think. Better still, subscribe too.
