Happy Holidays!

So we don't know about you, but over at the Monkey + Seal studio things are a bit hectic preparing for the madness that is December 25th.

Anyhoo, Monkey and Seal are going to take a little bit of a break from posting on the bloggy. We need to take a bit of time for ourselves and to get ramped up for all the new goodness that we have planned for 2010. We'll be back Monday January 4th with our usual MWFSa posting schedule!

Thanks again for all your support and we hope to bring you bigger and better events, art, products, and blog posts in the New Year!

Cheers,
Monkey + Seal (Rick & Eve)

PS - Don't forget to mark your calendars for the Animation On Display expo on January 30-31! We'll be in the artists' alley!

Low on sleep

Due to crazy schedules, Monkey + Seal have been a bit low on sleep lately. However, we are depriving ourselves of sleep in order to have some amazing stuff for you come this holiday season.

Monkey is currently working on some holiday card designs, as well as organizing a brand-new craft show that we actually got sponsored by Etsy! If you are interested in participating, please contact Monkey at: info [at] monkeyandseal.com. Affordable table prices, an amazing venue, and much much more, we've got it all! Additionally, he's been hard at work doing some quick painting studies to sharpen the saw. Below is a quick scan of one of his 60 minute paintings.

Seal has been burning the midnight oil to come up with a whole slew of new illustrations. Currently she is working on a long (12" x 24") illustration of a modern fashion designer's studio - set in a lavish French interior.

We may have posted this before (the lack of sleep is getting to us), but we now have a fan page on facebook! Please fan us!
