More RAIN commissions

These are my last batch of RAIN commissions, besides the last pesky person who hasn't given us a topic yet.  Pretty exciting! I had a lot of fun with these ones.

The ninja on a bike was my choice, and I think it was a pretty good one. 

I worked on this one while listening to my boyfriend play Dungeons & Dragons over skype.  Such a fun mindset!  

This one is "love and desire", which I was avoiding, but really enjoyed working on.

And this one is a vision of timelessness.  No joke.  I was having trouble working on it in watercolor, so I stated layering over the original.  Everything but the kitchen sink ended up on this one including parts of my old socks, the bottom of a candle, and a spring.  So much fun!

Definitely check out more about the RAIN Anthology project at http://www.789studio.com/ there are some sweet artist interviews that are worth reading.  And the final book should be printed by April, so stay tuned!

Some RAIN commissions!!

Here are some of my commissions I'm doing for the RAIN anthology, http://www.789studio.com/. A super cool comics and illustration anthology coming out in March!

This one was a wild card, so warrior with fun hair it is!

Someone requested Boston Terriors! I tried to draw some generic dogs, I originally wanted to do a whole bunch of them wearing party hats, but I ended up drawing the 2 dogs I'm always drawing in the webcomic I do, jesusloveslesbianstoo.com

And someone wanted a Hawaiian themed commission, so here's mine.  This one is of Queen Liliuokalani, the last Queen of Hawaii, overthrown in a bloodless coup before Hawaii was annexed.

This is, (hopefully), my final comic for the RAIN anthology I'm working on! It's written by the lovely Kelsey Donald, and drawn by yours truly. 7 pages of brainwashing aliens and a break-up-quasi-love story.  Stay tuned :)

The Life and Times of Maurice Freidman

The story of my Great Uncle, Maurice, pieced together with the help of my Dad.  It was for a class assignment a year ago, recently fished it out of my hard drive and edited it for my Uncle Allen.

It's one of my messier comics, it suits Maurice, but I wish it was a bit cleaner.  I also inked it with a broken lettering nib, which was the last time I used one.

97 Orchard St

I got to stand outside at work on Tuesday next to the balloons and try to direct passerbys to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum.  The morning was a bit slow,  so I fished this envelope out of the recycling and drew what was across the street from me, 97 Orchard St.

The 99% Barbie

Matel, if you're reading this, just remember where the idea came from.
