Merry Xmas

As always, my mom took the giftwrapping up a notch- look how cute ! Go check out her blog margarts.blogspot.com


And this is a christmas comic for my staten island friends- as such its probably funny to about five people, and me :D

Comics!

At around two o clock in the morning, they start playing 'Girls Gone Wild' commercials, and me and lene have some variation of this conversation pretty much every time I'm over her house. Click to make it bigger, as always.


The Creative Process.


If you've somehow managed to miss it (lucky you), Twilight is a series of books (and now a movie) about a morose mood swinging vampire named Edward Cullen, who despite being 118 years old, still goes to high school. You're 118! GET A JOB! These are a few career suggestions.

Wednesday Night Nudity

Brusha Brusha Brusha

lil warm up comics, done in brush without pencil underneath or much thinking. I have some real comics I'm working on that are in the revision stage, hopefully I'll get them up soon. :D

Suffragette City

This year marks the 88th anniversary of Women's suffrage in the U.S.; one more reason to excercise your hard won right to vote.

Experiment

I was playing around with the brush tool in illustrator, and I think it could definitely be a fun way to ink digitaly- the first one is just the brush tool, and the rest are the brush tool + a textured brush.

Not all of them are winners.

Real People and Old Art

Long Time, No post.

Couple lil comics, and I've been doodling some male faces so its not all girls 24/7.

Erika and Ignacio

For some reason I really like the hands on the second drawing :D

John Singer Sargent Jingleheimer Schmidt

Sundae Girl

A little scribble of my friend Stevie (that's the expression that usually precedes a scary, scary drawing) & an ice cream girl doodle inspired by Flora Chang's blog.

Hula Hula

Adventures in feminist art

This one got a little wordy, so click on it to enlarger & read. The Dinner Party was actually really interesting, incorporating traditional feminine handcrafts- embroidery, china painting, weaving, etc- into a piece of very political (particularly at the time) art; plus there's always the fun of recognizing the names and discussing who'd be at your own dinner party. Some of the other pieces on display... well,at the very least Disney wouldn't be pleased.

Faces

A couple of sketches of artists at the session- on top is the is the very talented Paolo.

Piggy!

Freeze Ray. Tell your friends.

MY DIPLOMA FINALLY CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY! No more F.I.T! In other super news, I saw the new batman movie- the Joker is fantastic, genuinely funny & creepy without being camp- and I have succumbed to the internet phenom Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Will I one day post art that ISN'T fan art? Will I do something useful with my degree? Stayed tuned! Same cal time, same cal blog.

Deedly dee, two ladies

Quickie sketches for what they're worth.

JC Leyendecker in the hizouse!

A few sketches from the JC Leyendecker show thats up at the society of Illustrators. Its awesome to see his work in person- the vibrancy of the colour, the luciousness of his brushwork & surface- and there's much more humour than one would suspect if one is only familiar with his handsome man paintings. Granted, alot of the humour is of the 'its funny cuz she's fat!' variety.

Hellboy

I saw both Hellboy movies recently & really enjoyed them- a good balance of fun characters and really interesting visuals. I think this is the first time I've really inked something in photoshop; still kind of clunky but i guess that's a matter of practice.
