Hello, everyone!

It is that time of the year again. When we show our loved ones how much we care about them by coming up with super clever gifts for them to enjoy! It’s tough coming up with gift ideas, I know, but don’t worry!  You can get all your shopping done in one place over at the Scott C Shop with a SCOTT C SHOPPING SPREE!!

And for a limited time we are having a HOLIDAY SALE! 10% off everything in the store (use code Holiday10) and free domestic shipping for orders over $150! Nov 28 – Dec 1st!

Here are some brand new ideas for your loved one for the Holidays this year:

IDEA #1: NEW PRINTS

We’ve got all kinds of new prints in the shop!  The adventures of Sonny the Fox in the forest for example.  All kinds of cute little scenes.  There’s the scene where Sonny is performing for his forest friends...

Or some of the quieter moments where Sonny is Chatting, Peering into a Pool, or Posing With Spoils.  You can even get these in a Power Pack of 3 if you want!

Or perhaps you are feeling romantic!  The Ghost: Pottery Wheel series reflects upon one of the most romantic scenes in film history. Tender moments with some of our favorite Ghosts and ghost companions.

There is the fellow who busts ghosts and his very first ghost catch!

There is the packing man and the ghost that often chases him around that strange maze!

There is the little monster and his Ghost Host  from Space!

There is the young Jedi and the old man who taught him how to swing a sword made of light!

Or if you can’t decide get the 4 Pack!

Idea #2: IPHONE CASES 

This is brand new to the shop.  Three different designs for a sturdy protective case for the Iphone 6.  The Skeleton Warrior Waterpark, the Bunny Amongst Plants, or the Cosmos.  All ready to protect your phone as a solid little case.

If you have a different phone or a laptop or a tablet or even a video game system, you can go to Nuvango.com to choose from 6 different Scott C designs!  Your loved one is going to freak out.

Idea #3: HUG MACHINE (the picture book)

I am sure you want to give your loved one a hug for the holidays.  But even if you do not, let this picture book do the hugging for you!  Hug Machine is a tender story of a child who is very good at hugging. He hugs everything and enjoys telling the world about it.  A self proclaimed little Hug Machine. Written and illustrated by Scott C!

There are all kinds of books at the Scott C Shop actually! Go see!

Idea #4: SHIRTS

I’ll bet your loved one would like to wear a nice new shirt.  Well, we’ve got three shirts for your loved ones to wear!  The Whale Hug shirt, the Body House shirt, and the Dogs Being Dogs shirt! All fine shirts to make anyone look wonderful.

Idea #5: GHOST TOTE

Sometimes it is tough to carry all of your new gifts around.  This GHOST TOTE can carry those gifts all over the place!  It’s got ghosts on it!  Ghosts the float there while you carry your things!

And thus ends the Scott C Holiday Gift Guide!  I hope you have a wonderful holiday time however you spend it!  See you in the year 2015!

The Batman 75th Anniversary Show opens tomorrow night, October 24th at Mondo Gallery in Austin, TX!

You should go see it if you are in town and really love Batman.

Here is the piece that I submitted to the show.  It is called “The Bat Phone”.  It’s got a real worried looking Commissioner Gordon in it.

HEy, you guys!  We have three winners of the HUG of HUGS contest last week.  You want to meet them?  They are great.

1. Jatinder sent in a few photos, but this one was just the best!  He is dressed as Hug Machine himself hugging a mailbox that looks different than the ones i am used to.  This one is in the UK, so i suppose this is the first British Hug Machine to be documented. Extra marks for closing his eyes tenderly. Marks docked for not wearing red boots.

2. Peter is hugging a regal looking eagle carved out of wood and wearing a scarf.  It’s a one armed hug, but that is ok because i think he is holding the camera there.  The eagle is too in it’s zone to care.

3. Justin sent in this photo of two special people hugging with birthday hats on.  The one with yellow hair seems to have a dog treat balancing on his or her nose.  You must hug very tenderly to keep that dog treat balanced on there for sure.

Each of these amazing people shall receive a signed copy of Hug Machine from me and a little drawing!

Super pumped about it.  Thank you everyone who sent in photos!

Oh, man, you guys.  Check this out.  I have been looking forward to this day for ages.

Do you want some of my paintings protecting your phone or your laptop or Ipad??  Now you can do this!  Check it out!  Nuvango used to be Gelaskins.  Now they are new and improved with a new name. You can have all kinds of Scott C stuff protecting your equipment.

I will be putting these up in my online shop soon.  But go get them right now if you want!

Here are some other examples of options for you…

Alright, everyone!  It is time for you to get all huggy.

I am on tour for my new book HUG MACHINE and to celebrate, we are going to have a special little contest called HUG of HUGS.  Here is how this contest works:

I encourage YOU to take pictures of yourself or loved ones hugging something.  The crazier this thing, the better.  Get super creative, you guys.  Hug Machine has hugged a whale, a mailbox, a rock, and ice cream truck.  Those are some examples of sort of creative things.  What can you hug?  Just take that picture and tweet it, post it, email it to me (scottlava@gmail.com), do whatever!  But make sure you use this little hashtag: #HugMachine and if you want, you can use #HugofHugs.

You can send me things up through this Friday October 3rd, at which point, I shall choose the top 3 photos and then post them for all of you to see next week.  The TOP 3 HUGS shall receive a copy of Hug Machine signed by me and a little drawing of you hugging whatever you want.

So go to it!  Go hug some stuff.

Oh, and you guys, don’t hug any dangerous stuff, ok?  Be safe out there with your hugging.
