Long Time No See!

Wow, it's been a few months since I've posted anything here! The reason for that is-- I'm in my last semester at MICA, and I've been spending almost all of my time working on creating products as opposed to individual narrative illustrations.

So here's the closest thing to a full illustration I've done recently-- a drawing for some friends' Lemongrab zine!! After Pierre Auguste Cot's "Spring", one of my favorite paintings. This was way too much fun to draw.

For those who are interested, the zine will be available to purchace at MOCCAfest, April 6-7!! It should be super awesome, it's full of talented people!

DAMN GIRL THAT STYLE IS FAT! Zine

Ever since I created The Fat Femme's Guide To Loving Summer nearly two years ago, I've meant to do another fat fashion zine-- and I finally have!

DAMN GIRL THAT STYLE IS FAT! is a style guide for fat women specifically-- though I think it applies to all women (and femmes!). Something I've been learning personally in my journey into the world of fashion is that, despite popular belief, style isn't something some people are just magically born with. It's learned. Because many fat women are raised to believe that they can't be stylish, often it's just a skill we were never encouraged to develop.

A sample page, showing off a look for during the day.

But no more! I know better. You know better! Fat women are just as capable of being stylish as anyone else, and it's time we stepped up and took our rightful place in the world of well-dressed women. This zine functions as a guide to style, no matter whether you're a beginner or just looking for some new ideas!

Interested in reading DAMN GIRL THAT STYLE IS FAT!? It's available as a PDF for $5 here! Happy styling!

Science Fiction Feelings

"Tank"
"3:00 AM"
The last of my first semester thesis drawings! Phew. I've covered all of my narrative art bases, I'm pretty sure....

Fanart Break! Soon, Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

I'm really enjoying The X-Files.

Dana Scully, Super-Hottie

A side effect of being in the middle of senior year is that I go through a LOT of television in an attempt to stave off insanity while drawing for 10 hours at a stretch! I got into X-Files because it is infinite. I stayed because Dana Scully is a queen, and a super-babe to boot.

Black Tea (Promotional Piece)

I had been meaning to do a new lifestyle illustration for some promotional postcards I've been working on, and I finally got a chance during the hurricane! I was inspired by this gorgeous scarf-- if I couldn't afford it, I knew I had to draw it. Sigh!!

Call Me, Beep Me

Today, in celebration of Labor Day Weekend, Noelle Stevenson and I watched 6 hours of Kim Possible.

And So Ends Summer 2012

Summer is coming to a close for me-- starting in less than a week, I begin my last year of college. In a way, this was effectively my last summer, and I was lucky to spend it like I did: in New York City, interning and having a good time! In any case, that it was my last summer can be my excuse for the unusually epic amount of mushy fanart I drew. Most of it is elsewhere, for those who actually have an interest in such things, but I was too happy with this to keep it hidden away. Soon, I'll be up to my eyeballs in Serious Illustration....

But not quite yet.

Supernatural Rule 63 Character Sheets

Been doing some re-watching of Supernatural, for who knows what time, and ended up doing some character sheets for a Rule 63 version of the Winchesters through the seasons! With a bonus Castiel.

Fall Fashion Set

Here are a few more outfit drawings, together as a set! Excited about fall clothing (obviously), though perhaps a little... early.

Summer Lovin'!

This week's sketch-blog prompt was summer lovin'! I had like one million ideas but this is the one that ended up happening. Beach fun! Also: cuties, also: hunks.

An Ideal Meal

Last week's sketch-blog piece!

Self-Portrait of the Young Artist on the Internet in Public

I did this for the first official prompt at DOWN TO SKETCH-BLOG the sweet summer blog I'm sort-of running with/for a heck-ton of cool MICA seniors-to-be (OH GOSH)! This is actually a frame from an animation, which you can see over on the SKETCH-BLOG!! I'm super early, hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of these through the end of the week from some AMAZING people!!

Like A Wagon Wheel

I know this isn't the usual upload fare, but what was going to be a short fanart doodle turned into a real drawing on accident and I liked it too much not to put up, oops. That is to say: it's summer and I can spend inordinate amounts of time drawing whatever I want!
Even if that's farm-themed Stargate: Atlantis fanart. I regret nothing.

STARGATE: ATLANTIS

Junior year is finally over! I can hardly believe it. This summer I'll be in New York, interning as a colorist. For now, have the spoils of my newest television show... and when I say "newest", I mean new for for me-- I'm about five years late for the Stargate: Atlantis bandwagon. However, better late than never!

The Consulting Detective and Her Blogger

I vote someone make the BBC series "Sherlock" again, but with ladies this time. Get on it, world.

"Change" Comic

Remember this? Well, here's the entire thing, in GIF form! Printed, it's a long horizontal fold-out, but I think this gets the idea across well, too.

Small Winter-Break Drawing Tidbits!

A lady based on some things I had filed away in my inspiration folder!



Me, wearing a couple of different outfits. It's like art dress-up, which takes more effort than regular dress-up, but more clothes fit.


Greco-Roman Flapper style: it's a thing. Trust me.

And now, back to school!

Fierce Ladies Pattern

A pattern I started in my Advanced Digital class and finished when I definitely should have been doing other things! Featuring fierce barbarian ladies making dinner. Inspiration credit goes to Rebecca Dart, original drawer of the fierce-EST barbarian ladies doing things!

Ladies Who Love Tea

An epic poster full of ladies who love to drink tea! If you're a lady who likes to drink tea, or are fond of such ladies, this post may be available to buy online eventually, but will DEFINITELY be available to purchase at the MICA Art Market!
