Tony DiTerlizzi, Never Abandon Imagination – 2008

Holiday Fun!

Way-back-when, when I had a little more free time on my hands, I would draw holiday versions of my characters around this time of year so that Ang and I could make cards, ornaments, tags, etc.

I was hoping to create some Kenny and the Dragon images to share this year, but I’ve been so darned busy with holiday stuff, book-making and being a dad that I just couldn’t get to it…hopefully I’ll get them finished next year.

But, in the meantime, here are direct links to the holiday images (with directions on how to make ornaments) from my first three books, Jimmy Zangwow, Ted and Spider & Fly…feel free to share them to make with your friends, family or in the classroom. Enjoy and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I don’t want to come across braggy when I say we’ve seen our share of cool DiTerlizzi-art-inspired tattoos…especially when we were attending Gencon on a regular basis. My sis, Jen, in fact has her share of tats that she’s collected over the years including a mermaid by her older bro.

Recently, Jen handed me an issue of “Tattoo” magazine (the Feb. ’08 issue to be exact) where there was an interview with a fellow named Brian. Brian clearly has a passion for art, as he is adorned with images drawn from Seuss, Dali, and yours truly. Feast your eyes on this out-of-this-world ink work:

Thanks for being such a tremendous fan Brian! I am flattered to be in such good company in your collection.

PS – Got any DiTerlizzi-inspired tats? Let me know and we’ll post them here on the blog…

I hope everyone has been enjoying the first week of December. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any good ol’ paper drawings for FFA, so I thought I’d share this great Spiderwick Field Piskie by Ella:

Thanks for sending this along Ella, and keep on drawin’ everyone!
