wednesday nights

So, tonight the Cowboy was back at the League! I had the same view to draw from, so I went with color pencils. I haven't done a color pencil portrait in four years and it was fun remembering how to layer and hatch.

So this is about half done. Should be finished this weekend!

Strawberry Bird

Strawberry Birds are super sweet but slightly creepy little creatures.

And this one is in my just-re-opened Etsy Shop!

Check it out.

HI!

Been workin' a lot. Here's what's on the desk today. Joe and a cicada having a friendly conversation.

Also, desk-job is going well. The holidays are always a fun time at desk-job. Sometimes I get to go on glamorous business trips too.

Desk-job road-trippin'. Love it.

Two nights ago I spent the evening hanging out at (and with!) OhNo!Doom in Chicago. Super fun and a ton of laughs. Check the gallery / space / collective out.

I think I might have more to write about, but I really have to get back to painting.

You can get more regular/daily updates over at my Twitters.

Happy Monday, xoxox

eat it, wednesday!

Today I had about 3,000 tiny reasons to not go to the League to draw. Right up to, and including, "I left my EFFING PAPER at home.".

But dammit, I went anyway. And the model was dressed as a cowboy. And I drew a picture of him.



Because loving what you do means you go do it even when you don't bloody want to.


Also, still listening to this.


Happy Wednesday, internet!

hey there

I've gotta start getting to the league earlier so I can get a different angle to draw from.


I've started planning my next show, and it's going well.


November is full of a lot of really exciting things. This is my 'happy about november' face.
