This is the smiling face of a birthday girl… Maybe even a 21 year old.  What an awesome day.

LOVE!

Emma and Bill and I had to do some serious Halloween costume research and development today. And let me ask, does this look like a success or what? Thats what I thought.

On a completely unrelated note, I have a critique with Shimon Attie tomorrow, who is giving a lecture on Thursday night. I am always kinda nervous when Im having a crit with some really super famous person however, I have to say that Katherine chose me and three others personally because (and this is a direct quote from her email) I am “ready to crit.” Which basicaly means I am doing good. BIG PROPS TO ME. Really, it is. So that always makes me a little more confident. And being confident about your work always seems to help in critique, you knows? k.

ALSO I AM REALY EXCITED FOR HALLOWEEN! I dont know what Alex and I are going to do this weekend, probably find some party somewhere or “go to the bars” but I just want to wear costumes and carve pumpkins and eat candy and do spooky things! I WANT! WHOS WITH ME?

so for the past couple of weeks, ive been in this super hero class thing (thats where the re-drawn pages come from). this class has been kicking my ass with the amount of work and quite frankly, i don’t have too much experience outside of sketches and junk doing sweet action. So this class is taught by an actual ex-marvel editor whos got some buddies still there. needless to say, i would do well to impress him. our assignments have included doing pencils from the actual script of the current captain america volume 5 number one (yeah i know). i want to show you guys what i’ve done so far. its pretty straight-forward cap beats terrorists on a train:

page 1&2 spread
page 3
page4
page5
page6

you cant see it but in the blue-line of page 6, panel 3, it says “PWND”

Hey, guys. I have a jonesing too. I haven’t been to Little T’s in SO LONG seriously. What about me? I want my Uptown burger!! I know you’ve all been there recently, but I gots to go. It’s been too long. This Tuesday? This Wednesday? I don’t know when I work next, but it has to happen. Please. I want my thousand island dressing.

ANYWHO, here is some more cat related art, but instead of rockin’ tigers, it’s the saddest kitty ever – he has FIV which is a real and incredibly sad thing. KITTIES WITH AIDS. Seriously. This piece is on the other end of the spectrum as far as my “getting better at art initiative”: the painting kind! Woo! I really like it, and I’m excited about it. Getting better lalalala.

Also, who’s excited about Iowa?! I AMMMMM. OH MY GEE.

Guys, I need help. I got a jones in a bad way and I know I can’t satisfy the terrible itch I’ve got. There aren’t any support groups that can help me, no doctors that can cure me.

(more…)

promo art for a title i might do after i graduate. maybe even for real money. no more of those MCAD “funbucks”. as for right now its just a cool illustration with type.

but more ellipsises, and a cute new song. It’s very short, but when I listen to it I imagine someone buying flowers.

what is with all of the smut in my inbox?!? haha… id never expect to see the word sex so many times here.

Hey guysss. Remember last time when I was all “i gots to get better at art!“?!?! Well, I’ve  been working on it, and things are happening! Exciting things!! I think I’m getting better at art! Which is good, because that’s what I want to do for a living. Anywho, one of the arts I wanted to get better at was digital stuff – so I made an illustration for my editorial class using digital AND analogue methods about being an ally to your gay and lesbian friends! Oh how exciting. Also, we are watching Tyra’s “gaydar” episode, which is kind of REDONKULOUS and crazypants.
