World Oceans Day

Oh World Oceans Day. How you catch me so unaware I learn of you only by Owney's twitter... And Owney has been dead forever but he is more up to date than me. :(

Sorry this is crapilly done - It was done while working on the probably destined to be late page 9 of DokiDoki. I love sharks and whales. What do people kill? Sharks and Whales! Knock it off! Finning is way worse than... Well anything plus THE FINS HAVE NO TASTE! WTF. Put tofu in! Same thing but less crazy craziness and ocean destruction.

Killing whales - also a tragically bad idea. But we all know that.

Speaking of - it really says something of us as a species when we look for the loopholes to be crazy/creepy/violent to ourselves and others. I mean heck - people whose religion forbade the spilling of blood came up with more horrible crazy ways to torture people - just no mess of blood. What the heck? Nutty.

What does this post have to say about anything? NOTHING. It has NOTHING coherent because the whole time I am typing it my brain is running in tight circles going OMG THE COMIC OMG THE COMIC. So...

end.

Television : White Collar

Awww this was done so quickly as a way to procrastinate on page 9 of DokiDoki CheckMate.

I am so excited to watch this tomorrow. I love it!

I may so one of these for all my shows as they come back.

Or not. I'm seriously trying to focus... Summer.... Car issues... *sob*

I may definitely do one for Dark Shadows.... <3

No life

Remember way back when I shared my shock that Gustave Dore was hot? I shared it with everyone at My Daguerrotype Boyfriend. I'm glad people besides myself can look at old photos and say "wow he was hot!"

Check it out!


And I totally mean that in the check it out sort of way. <3

pergamano & midtone demo

This was the parchment piece I did for my grandma's birthday. Lots of embossing hole punchign and tiny scissor cutting. And man does the cutting leave my fingers a mess!!!

And now my demos for midtone paper.

i <3 midtone paper.
I wish my students liked it as well as I do... Although I had one student this year who did her final series using midtone paper and did her shoes. It was pretty radical!

(Now back to work on the comic!)

Read the Comic Clearly...

You should always always read the comic... But...

I'm sort of really excited for the movie.



That goes double for Cap!!!



f*ck yeah Cap!!!!!

And I/m not emotionally invested in Green Lantern so regardless I can enjoy this movie.



Unless it is a crapfest like Last Action Hero.

BTW: Pirates of the Caribbean looks good too. (Just keep bringing back Barbossa!!)

DokiDoki CheckMate Preview

Sorry I've been a mite absent here! It's because if I'm not getting my artistic act together for demos for my class I am working hard on DDCM with all my meager might! Here, just so you can see the ways I torture and torment myself...

I swear I just live to torture myself...

New Project!

So I have been putzing about with some ideas for a webcomic sort of thing for a while. Now - there are some warnings:

1. It's a fairy tale setting. Princes, Knights, magical hoodoo, talking horses, fairies, etc.
2. It's cute boys in love. You're not going to see any hot guy on guy action - sorry! I would not be able to pull that off at all. But I wanted to tell you if you are bothered by boys kissing, hugging, loving other boys this is not for you. Sorry! My other stories may eventually interest you. (Well maybe not Midnight... But Abracadabra for sure has no romance at all!!)
3. It will update when I can... Meaning... When I can get a page done and uploaded. Seriously it takes me some time and the idea of making a set schedule so I can fail at it does not appeal to me at all. So the schedule is: When there's a new page it's there! Sorry... :( Maybe if this makes me a better artist then I can set a schedule.
4. There is no number 4. If I had thought this through in an awesome way there would be no number 1 and I would go to six and say WHO IS NUMBER ONE!!!???
5. Kudos to anyone who understands the meaning of #4.
6. "I AM NOT A NUMBER! I AM A FREE MAN!!"

Dunkin Card

This is the image i made for my brother's Dunkin Donuts card. Did you know you can add art to them? It's worth it!!! I have one with Tetin's grinning head on it. <3 But my bro gets Richard Sala styled Ultimate Captain America and Red Skull. <3 POW! Way to punch nazis Cap!! <3 <3

So is anyone as excited for the movie as I am? <3 <3 <3

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well. Valentine's day. <3 I love you all but today only. Sorry. My black, rock-like heart only handles so much love on a daily basis.... Unless you're Tim Gunn. I give him forever endless platonic love!! FOREVER!! <3
If you can't tell this fat cupid is made out of paper and assembled by hand by me with little accents added by colored pencil. The eyes and mouth? Cut paper. Yeah you know it. All the letters? Cut paper. The bowstring? REAL STRING. Well thread. Seriously. I question my sanity over making these.

*flutter*

Happy Year of the Rabbit

Here's the New Year card I sent out. Cut paper!!! Tradition!!! A fun bunny. <3 He's sitting on a pink envelope here - these were sent out in GOLD ENVELOPES!!!

I love Gold Envelopes.

*sings* I've got a golden tiiiicket.... <3
