A tribute to that sweet little anglerfish that swam its little heart out, all the way to the surface to see the sun, and then died.

I hope the sun was as beautiful as you imagined it.

"Poor Things" - one of my very favorite movies from the past few years - had to do some illustrations of these incredible characters!

"Come along with me..." Adventure Time! I had so much fun re-watching the entire series with my daughter! Had to do a great big old fan art illustration!

"Ew, David!"

I just finished the "Schitt's Creek" series and wow! Blown away with what an incredibly sweet and absolutely hilarious show this was. I had no choice but to draw these fabulous characters! The hardest part was selecting the perfect outfit for each of them - so I didn't...  One of the very best parts of Schitts Creek (in my opinion) was the fashion! The outfits were so incredible that they almost became supporting characters themselves. There was absolutely no way that I could only choose one per person, so I didn't. Here is the "Mix and Match Rose Family"!!! Enjoy!!!

You guys! This is the coolest thing ever! Leslie David Baker, who played Stanley Hudson on "The Office" and I are collaborating!!! (I can't believe I just said that). Okay, here's the story:

After I completed my print for "The Office", I started talking with the amazing people working with Leslie David Baker and his new spin-off series "Uncle Stan". They asked me to do a custom illustration of Stanley to be added to their Kickstarter campaign! So here it is!

A limited edition "Stanley" print signed by me AND Leslie David Baker ... Stanley himself!!!!!!

So all you need to do is go to his Kickstarter campaign page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unclestan/uncle-stan and scroll down until you see the "Limited Edition Poster by Spaghetti Toes" pledge option for $35 and you can get one of your very own and help Mr. Baker's incredible Kickstarter campaign at the same time!!! But move quick because there are only 100 available!

Happy 25th Anniversary (Sunday) "Clueless"!!!

In preparation for this print, we sat down last week and watched "Clueless" with Harper for the first time. Since then, I think she's watched it about eight to ten times - to the point where she literally said: "Ugh, as If, Dad" to me this morning. Haha. Loved this movie when it came out back in 1995 - I remember watching it over and over with all of my high school friends back in the day, and still love it today - laying around watching it with my family!

Re-post from a couple of years ago! Loving the new Pac-Man video with a hint of Peanuts!!! “Harper has recently become a big fan of the band the "Gorillaz". She especially loves the artwork that accompanies the band. (If you're not familiar, they have created four characters that show up in their videos and posters and album covers).

The other day she asked me if the Gorillaz and the Peanuts gang were all part of the same world. After thinking about it and knowing that Damon Albarn plays the piano and often wears striped shirts... I couldn't resist a little mashup art for this one.”

“ Everyone in the conference room, now!” Here’s the completed piece for everyone's favorite paper company! "The Office" is done! I did a re-watch of the entire series to make sure all of the fine details were just right. It was long and hard, but fun (That's what she said)! Enjoy everyone!

Been a while since I posted but here’s a fun new project! It's very sad to us how divided everyone has become. Things are so divisive and it's hard for each side to meet in the middle. If we could just get along, we could start to solve some of the problems that are tearing us apart. Harper and I were watching "The Office" a while ago and she asked me: "Dad, do Dwight and Jim hate each other?" I thought about it for a minute and told her: "Well, I don't think so, I think they're more rivals than anything". A 20-minute convo on the meaning of "rivals" led me to ponder an art project. I tried to figure out a fun and positive way to show how some of the greatest characters from tv/movies, sports and even history could put aside their differences and unite for the good of the world. With a lot of Harper help, here is the first installment of "Project Get-Along"! It's not meant to be overly profound or deep - it's intention is to simply bring a smile to your face and realize that we truly can all get along. Okay, so we technically shouldn't hold hands for a while but we can all smile and be happy!

I never get tired of drawings dogs and the people that love them. A lifelong family friend of ours recently contacted me with a very special request. They had just lost one of their beloved dogs, Hammy, and their sweet daughter Addy is having a really hard time with it. Here's what her mom Erica requested:

"Hey Marty, I was wondering if you could do a drawing of Addy with Hammy?? She has been missing him a lot lately and thought a guardian angel pic of some sort would be awesome!! Maybe incorporate a cardinal too, every time she sees a cardinal she says it's Hammy!! And it would be really sweet if our other dogs, Cheif, Hulk and Bitsy found their way in the print!"

I loved drawing this print so much. I hope it makes you feel a little bit better Addy! I know Hammy is up there keeping a really good eye on you!

Stan finally gets his cape. RIP Stan Lee.

Well this is just about one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure to work on. It's for Jamie and her amazing daugher Teddi! Here's what Jamie said about the quote:

"This is my 4 year old's quote to me, and I just really needed to immortalize it and see it all the time... "If you're a hero to me, you can be a hero to yourself." Her name is Teddi, and she's my hero. ❤️"

Thank you so much Jamie and Teddi... you guys are my hero!

I've recently been getting a ton of commissions for all things TV, movies and music and I couldn't be happier. Here's one I just finished up for James who asked me to draw the "BoJack Horseman" gang as a birthday gift for his girlfriend! Just so happens we're HUGE BoJack fans here too so this was tons of fun! A huge thanks to James...I hope she loves it!
