For the past few months I have been working on a pretty cool project, redesigning the official website for the relaunch of the classic Odd Rods® trading card series of crazy, funny cartoon hot rod monsters & creatures – big eyes bugging out, goofy smiles with teeth bared & tongues wagging.

A few new Hot Rod/Odd Rod style monsters, including the super cool scooter hot rod creature, a cute puppy dog, a sexy couple, a nerd super hero, a Donald Trump-esque fat cat rich guy and mor- actually that’s all for now.

I am in the process of moving my WordPress blog to my webhost so I can have more control over the settings, templates, etc. The new address will be: georgecoghill.com/blog .
I plan to have this blog updated far more regularly, now that I have settled into a decent workflow with the recent influx of freelance I have taken on.
While I will continue to post interesting illustration tips, tricks, tutorials & techniques, I also plan to start concentrating on Mac OS X shareware & freeware that specifically caters to illustrators & designers. I spend wayyyyy too much time playing with shareware, but along the way I have found some great software that I believe will be of great use to all you fellow artists out there. Stay tuned.

…from Blogger, and trying out Ecto software. Blogger didn’t allow for photo uploads with third-party software, pain in the ass.
This is the way to go, for sure. Love the categories feature, and WordPress even imported my old blog entries from Blogger!
