people

These are from new years, using my friends' toddler's mixed-together little acrylic paint set, and a pen. You can't see from the scans, but there's random swaths of glitter unintentionally involved, as it was mixed in. I tweaked the color a little bit, but no other alterations. Mostly an excercise in drawing people I know in a recognizable manner. With silly backgrounds. Except for the last one, because I ran short on time. Cheers!

Fairy tale: The Fish and the Princess

Tamlin in SPACE

This was a project I did for my bookmaking final this past summer. It was completed in a week or two and was one of the most fun projects I got to work on. Taken from an old folktale, I set the story "in space" and gave it a few twists. Part of me would like to work more on it, but mostly I consider it done, flaws and all. ALSO NOTE: You must click on each image to see both pages on the image. Otherwise you're only seeing every other page of the book.

Some new stuff

I just wanted to draw this pose, and then couldnt figure out what to do with her face. I was trying masks but they all looked too super-heroey even when they were creepy or weird or traditional.

Zombies. Not much more to that!

Tree women :) I'll probably either do ink washes or do something digital-colorwise with this.

Teacup mermaid.

Some summer stuff

This is from mid spring, very loose but I'm fond of it.

The upstairs room of very dear friends. I find that doing this particular exercise (pick any point to start from, draw a room) is very calming, and that room is calming too.

Characters from a novel I was writing over the summer.

Characters from a scene from said novel. Really oughta work on that more when i get a minute!

This is another image from the past spring, which is almost a thumbnail for a large scale painting I'd like to do at some point.

Bookmaking: PDF Tunnel Book

I took a bookmaking class this semester, and one of the projects I had the most fun on was the tunnel book. I decided to use it to capture at least a fraction of my strange and wonderful experience going to my first burner event, Playa del Fuego. These are the panels from the book from back to front, each offering a peek of the one behind it.

more collage stuff

Really... after this week is over there will be so much from-life sketchiness. I am starved for hands on assignments this semester, it's killing me. PAINT. and drawings. so many ideas in the works!
