JOYFUL ART
Vis-Dev Artist and Background Designer Chris
Deboda strives to entertain, bringing humor and joy to
anyone that views his art with the hopes of brightening
their day just a little bit. His signed prints, like "Ukelele
Rivals" and "Baked Goods" ($12; chrisdebodaart.com/
store), are whimsical keepsakes for all ages; while his
Snicker Doodles sketchbook series ($19.99) compiles
60 pages of stylized sketches including process notes.
TIKI TIME
After having her son Connor,
Storyboard Artist Kelly Hobby-Bishop
realized there wasn't much available
in the tiki market for kids or pets.
This got her creative juices flowing to
create fun tiki designs for the whole
family to enjoy, including the dog. You
can find her designs including cute
T's ($15), masks ($10 -$15) and baby
blankets ($30) at keikitikidesigns.com.
TALES FOR ALL AGES
"I like to pull emotional experiences from life that have changed
the shape of who I am then find ways to imbue the lessons into
my creative work," says Michael Cawood, Animator and Post-Vis
Artist. He and his wife craft novels and children's books (from $7.99;
jpcawood.com) that offer unique premises and clever twists. A
perfect gift for a holiday staycation!
