Two new button designs that I hope to have available at VanCAF next weekend. Be there or be a rectangular thing.

OMFG you guys! I love Liz Suburbia’s stuff so much - I cannot wait!

If you aren’t familiar with Sacred Heart or any of her other awesome stuff, you should totally check out her site. DO IT!

Here is a really terrible picture of some magnets that I’m working on!

These haven’t been baked yet. Once they are hard I will coat them in gesso and paint them after gluing magnets on to the backs. Now to learn how to sculpt entire figures instead of just heads.

Jasper is a little character that I’m working on. I have some stories to tell that can’t really be called auto-bio, as they are too far removed from actual events and so … enter Jasper! There will be more to come with this guy.

Here’s a watercolour portrait of the Bandit Queen, Phoolan Devi. She was one strong woman. I need to get better at using actual watercolour paper instead of the acrylic pad that I’ve been using lately - I’m getting crumby results.

I kind of dropped the ball yesterday (and technically the day before, as it’s now after midnight) with this ‘thing a day’ challenge, but will march onwards.

So I made a crappy wallpaper!

This is my first attempt at making a pattern the old fashioned way: I drew the centre of my pattern and then cut the page into quarters, repositioning the tiles so that my centre image became the corner images. Then I drew a new image in the new centre of the page. Unfortunately I don’t have time tonight to get this much further along, but it’s good practice for a more serious attempt. This almost works as a desktop background, though it’s slightly askew in places.

I made vague blobby animal heads with markers and then doodled faces with a fineliner.

Here are some vintage kid’s costumes.

This was watercolour and a heavy lead on cardstock. I’m trying to get better at watercolours because I like the transparency of the colour and they are less of a hassle to get out/clean up than acrylics. And not as toxic.

I’m making a minicomic about my year to give to family and friends, inspired by Jeff Ellis’ tradition of doing so. Here’s a page about my job at the cat hotel.

Whoah! This is so rough it abrades my eyeballs!

Oscar is pretty weird looking (see second image for proof) and so we often get stopped by passerbys. This lady was super intense (and drunk) and maybe I didn’t portray that effectively in this crappy comic, but she freaked us both out a little.

EDIT: Realised that I never posted a second image. haha Oops. Tumblr wont let me add another now, so you will just have to use your imagination.

This is an illustration that I did last year and has never seen the light of day. It’s acrylics on CP board, with a pencil crayon underpainting. I’ve never really considered it finished, but there’s something about it that I really like.
