chicken little

Look at me, being a delinquent blogger again! I've had stuff to post, too, I'm just terrible about posting it.   I suck. But a month or so ago, I did another set of illustrations for one of my regular clients - a children's theater. So here's one of five!

Sketches and color comp below - my color comps are really ugly, yikes. But I think the final piece came out pretty well.

cupcake dress

Just a silly little girly drawing. This dress reminds me of a cupcake and I want to wear it. Also, I am totally obsessed with mint green and coral right now, alone and in combination. Such great colors.

boobs for beads

I'm not dead! I know it's been forever (almost literally) since I updated; it's terrible. I started a new job at the end of last year and while I enjoy it, the adjustment period has left me a tad burned out. I think I'm coming out of the slump now though, and what's more appropriate for my triumphant return than boobs? Nothing, that's what. In honor of Mardi Gras, of course, because I do enjoy a holiday that combines cake, costume jewelry, and spontaneous nudity.

IF: sneaky

Girl Detective returns! Sneaking around at night, searching for stolen jewels - which everyone knows you should hide on your freakishly large black cat for maximum protection.

I'm not super into this, although I can't really put my finger on why. But it's been forever since I did an IF piece, so I'm posting it anyway.

cheap trixie

Ever since I watched Whip It (lo those many months ago), I've been wanting to draw some roller girls. So I did! One, anyway. I'm calling her Cheap Trixie, because it is adorable. She might get some friends eventually. Or maybe not. We'll see.

Anyway, I like how it came out. Close-up below, for a better view of her King Pug tattoo.

zombabe

Happy Halloween! Eat some brains. Or some brain-shaped candy for the uncommitted.

P.S. I am super happy with how this came out and it was really fun to do. I've been working on the fairytale pin-ups but I think I might derail that for monster ladies instead. A vampire and a werewolf, at the very last.

hey there sailor

A little nautical pin-up action. I think she's practicing for the next Fleet Week.

I love the whole nautical aesthetic, but since I hate the beach and get incredibly seasick on anything that isn't a floaty tube or a kayak, I can only express my appreciation by drawing lots of ladies in their seafaring finery. I know. It's a hard-knock life.

And we zoom-in, the better to see all the details no one ever sees on the final product.
