A Little T. Rex in All of Us

 Most every child pretends that they are a T-Rex at some point, I certainly did. Pretending to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex is so empowering- especially when Mommy or Daddy are trying to push their hefty parental control around. When Mom tells you to clean up your toys or finish your peas... one just needs to curl those little fingers and roar like a dinosaur. The absolute power that defined your parents would just seem to be diminished by one's wild imagination. Anyway, I really idolized T. Rex when I was a kid. Actually, I loved all dinosaurs and could even name 'em all... way back then.

 To commemorate my childhood passion for these terrible lizards, I set up a Dinosaur Section in my Mudge Studios store at Zazzle. Mudge Studios' Dino Shop is dedicated to the Dino lover of all ages. For the smallest and youngest dinosaur lover,  We've just added our Little T. Rex Designs  featuring a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex in diapers with baby dino blocks that spell out T Rex. T. Rex designs include: My Crib Rocks, Here Comes Trouble, Poopasaurus Rex, I'm Really Big in Japan, I maybe Small, But I'm still Boss and More. Mudge's Little T. Rex Dino art makes great birthday gifts for the baby, infant and toddler.

We also have a Dinosaur section especially for the young paleontologist- The Dinosaur Hunter Shop.  Included are: I dig Dinosaurs, Fossil Man and Little Fossil Man shirts, mugs, tote bags and more for the avid dinosaur lovers. One of Mudge's popular Dino Designs features a Boy paleontologist armed with pick and shovel riding a mammoth Triceratops to a  major Dinosaur Hunt. How cool is that? Other young paleontologist apparel features a triceratops fossilized skull.

Our Mudge Studios shop at Zazzle also features a Dinosaur Sports Section.  Mudge combined two of his favorite subjects- Sports and Dinosaurs.  Mudge's Cool Dinosaur Baseball shirts and gift ideas Feature Ball Busta at the plate ready to launch a long ball with his dino spiked bat. Check out Smash Mouth, the tough dino footballer running the old pigskin down the field for a touchdown. See Slash the intimidating hockey goon who dominates the ice. Also- see Monsta Flush, a tall, wiry dinosaur in all his glory slam dunking a basketball. Mudge enjoys doing projects like this most, we hope that you enjoy the results...

The great thing about Mudge Studios' designs at Zazzle is that most of them can be customized and personalized to include a shopper's favorite slogan or even the name of a loved one. See the URNameOSAURUS design below. Thanks for reading and remember that Dino art makes great birthday gifts for the kid in all of us.

Opportunity to KISS

As many of you know, I've set up countless shops at CafePress over the years. Self initiated projects such as these have kept me busy between projects that I've had lined up with my clientele. What started as a no risk free trial has grown into countless opportunities to create and sell sports, dinosaurs, animals, humor and even political POD merchandise.  One of the latest opportunities permits CafePress shop keepers to create fan based artwork featuring several noteworthy bands and musicians. There were some very strict guidelines that shop keepers had to adhere to, but none the less, I can now create Kiss Fan T-shirts. Check out our Mudge Studios' Kiss Fan Gear at CafePress Here.

Most of  Our Cool Kiss Fan art depicts a Skull decked out with a KISS bandana with microphone crossbones with flames in the background of course. When I was a young teenager, KISS was one of the Hottest, Most Controversial acts of the time. Decades may have passed, BUT Long live Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. Be sure to Commemorate the Future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Band that is Kiss with our Rockin' Cool Kiss Gear. I chose to do several of KISS' most popular song and album titles including: Hotter than Hell, Lick it Up, Calling Dr. Love and Detroit Rock City. Also featured is- We Want You- KISS ARMY. Following is an example of our popular Detroit Rock City design...

Classic Rock will always Live On.

New Years Resolution Comes Early

Well, It's that time of year again. Those who really know me, know that I take my New Years Resolutions very seriously. For example: on January 1, 2004, I vowed to give up ice cream for 3 months along with my two girls. That was no easy task as Ice cream was my absolutely favorite stress reducing crutch... but we did it. The following year, Sam and I renewed our resolution with a 6 months abstinence. Once again, challenging, BUT We did it! The following year I was to go solo with an extension to one full calendar year. I haven't had ice cream since and my stomach is all the happier for it.

 That brings me to 2010. Yes, I'll continue to give up ice cream, but I've decided to add an important resolution for this upcoming new year. My friend Arnie had been pushing me for quite some time to market Mudge Studios. Well... After a long chat with Gary, my brother in law, I've decided to make a commitment  to develop some social networking to promote Mudge Studios. He suggested that I really concentrate my efforts in branding Mudge Studios. To get Mudge Studios out there on everything including Twitter. Well, Part of that promotion will be to maintain a blog. That is where the hard part comes in. Typing for me, takes forever, but I will promise myself to post something Mudge Studios related at least once a week. It does look promising, as today is Dec. 29th and I've already activated my Blogger account and made my first posting:)
