David Bigler logo David Bigler

I’ve been working on hand-lettering our new labcreature logo for the past few weeks. It has been one of the most difficult design challenges I’ve ever had because I am my own worst client. I can’t wait to share it with you later this week! #logodesign

We had a great time at Albuquerque #Artwalk last night and we’re back at it again less than 12 hours later for Downtown Growers’ Market!

Stacked set of coasters with illustrations of cats, including one riding a UFO and another eating an alien displayed on a table with a blueish purple tablecloth.

Hey government come get me I make Anti-Fascist / Pro-Cat keychains that always sell out at markets and shows because all us cat people feel the same way oh nooooo! #cats

Wooden keychains shaped like cats with the phrases ANTI-FASCIST PRO-CAT and [@labcreature](https://micro.blog/labcreature) engraved on them lying on a white surface. There are also a few translucent neon green ones in the background.

Quickly discovered that hand-lettering a logo is not for the faint of heart. Stay tuned!

The cholla cacti are in bloom here in the high desert! #santafe

A YouTuber described the new Day of the Dead 4K cover as “probably not AI, but maybe drawn on a tablet” like that was disgusting. Do people think artists in 2026 are hunched over a slab of wood carving every #illustration by candlelight?

We’re in #Albuquerque again this morning for #DowntownGrowersMarket! It’s a beautiful morning and I have a lot of new stuff!

Artist David Bigler, bearded, smiling and wearing glasses is holding a display with pet images at a market booth featuring art prints, cat toys, and coasters.

One of today’s “weird but everyday kinda task” for me was to spend an hour and a half cutting out heat transfers before making a big batch of tote bags.

It’s a glamorous life I tell ya what. #artist
