Wish You Were Here

In high school, when several my friends decided to learn guitar, Wish You Were Here was the song they tried to learn first.  I hadn't heard the song since I was a kid and one of my oldest memories came flooding back.

This was my birthday present to my lovely Mom this past Sunday.  I still think of Wish You Were Here as a lullaby from her to me.  Any other children of hippies have this problem? :p

SPX!

Hey folks! I'll be exhibiting at the Small Press Expo in Bethesday, MD with my buddy Nick Offerman.  I'll be peddling my Jesus Loves Lesbians, Too wares. Table W47A, come by and say hi and buy our things! 

Why I Blame the Elves

This is (I think) my first watercolor comic, and it is for a collaboration Arts&Science Kingdom-wide contest for Amtgard.  Written by Heather-Ann Schaeffner, and illustrated by yours truly.  I need scans of them, but had to finish them at the beach, so the photos will have to do for now.

"Why I Blame the Elves" is the heartwarming story of a faerie wizard who kills a night elf for the ring of power, and when she can't handle the guilt she freaks out and goes barbarian.  True story.

Ink, watercolor, white acrylic paint, and glow in the dark glitter.  

Finding old sketches

I am going to attempt to revive the blog a bit! I'd like to say I've been busy but being all over the place is more accurate.  Enjoy some old sketches and new work coming soon!

Misc. arts in color!

I'm still around and making things! Just been busy, hopefully now that the job that ends with the school year coming to an end I'll have some more time to work on art.

Here's a fun doodle that turned into a color study, I love me some limited color palettes.  Especially complementary colors :)   

And this is the new self portrait on my brand new business cards (printed on recycled paper <3).  Because nothing says "I'm a professional" then eatin' pizza.

Goin through old stuff

So I recently accidentally deleted everything from my not backed up external hard drive, and I've since been in the long process of recovering data and sorting/organizing my jumbled files.  The slight silver lining of this, is going through fun old stuff I haven't seen in years.

An old sketch of my dad playing banjo, all drawn straight in pen.

An old comic from one of Nick Bertozzi's classes, we were assigned a portion of Winsor McCay's life and had to illustrate it in his style.

Me messing around while designing JLLT vol 1's back cover.  We were awaiting quotes from people to put on the back :p
