blood-sucking mosquitoes

i'm thinking of doing something about swamps for senior drawing projects. i was surrounded by them in florida but i actually know almost nothing about them. i've always found them creepy and mysterious.

it might be fun.

hometown

poetry anyone?

its ok its only temporary

giant robot

erotic hands

i drew these hands the other way around, but i scanned them upside down and it completely changed them. now they feel kind of sexual. weird.

marcia vs. marsha

be classy america!

this is about a blog post written by my friend brody's sister. she has a lovely sense of humor and i tried to do a drawing for this entry but i'm not so sure that humor works for me. still, there is something about this cutout that makes me laugh a little. not as much as amy's blog though :)

i like that they are sad together.

fusion

new ideas for independent study. watercolor fusion is so exciting (and sexy)!

boyish girl

When I was out in NY I got to meet Jordin Isip. He was really sweet and friendly and he asked me to participate in the Dime Bag 3 show @ Giant Robot NY! Thank you so much :) I made this little gem of a drawing to contribute to the show. So happy!

from floor to ceiling

shopping cart love

two shopping carts have sex and make two more really awkward baby carts :/

thank yous

some thank you cards that i made for my mom and various people at the society of illustrators :)

the best trip to NY ever!

cleavage

still working on this dang acne series. i hope to save this painting tomorrow..

bacne

so this is the biggest painting i have ever done, whoa. i bought a big brush but it's not really getting used haha. i just keep having cool accidents with the palette knife that are better than a brush stroke. just my personal opinion.

matt was my lovely model for this painting. he doesn't have any acne on his back, just for the record, BUT he is a good friend and was willing to offer his back as the palette for acne. thank you matt :)

i'm going to keep painting while it's still wet...repost later.

anonymous

sketch for my independent study project. yipeeee. there will be 7+ guys in the final drawing. this girl's kind of a slut. or are the guys pigs, which one is it?

acne vulgaris

i've been wanting to do acne portraits for a couple months now and i'm finally doing something with it for TDS painting. i think there will be 3 in the end, but this is the first one i started last night. it still needs some more work in the hair and the neck and stuff but i'm digging the way the actual acne is turning out. it's beautiful just like i imagined. bacne is next..

2 self portraits...i guess? apparently i'm fat, pissed off, and 37.
and i got new converse because my old ones were smelly. why do you look like a wannabe when you have brand new chucks? i hate that.
