SEWING? BADLY? SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

Yeah, so I am really bad at sewing. I accept that about myself.
Anyway. Victoria Ying is amazing. She has worked on alot of Disney stuff, including Tangled.

She made a design for a fabric that you can order with your own design at Spoonflower.com. She sells them on her etsy, and you can see the designs here on her blog!

But, I totally fell in love with the fabric, so I got it, and took it to my grandmother's in hope that we would be able to make 4 tea napkins out of them. of course that would be alot of work, ESPECIALLY since I suck forever at things like this. But, it is starting to shape up really nicely. We added some delicate lace that she had laying around, and then some blue ribbon!!



(I totally left it to her to finish, haha. Merry Christmas to me!)

Work Art!

I've been on Sign Team for Trader Joe's for a while now, and it's a really cool gig. I get to improve my handwriting, draw, and jam to my ipod for 8 hours. (No, it's not that gravy a deal, but it's so close to that!)

So, I had to make some quick signs, but unlike the others we've made in the store, I was told that my "STYLE" would be really nice to have for this project.



I actually remembered to take pictures of it, since I'm working on a portfolio of sorts! I don't remember to get everything, so I'm glad I at least got this one. I'm really proud of him!

Blast from the past, Anime Club

So, I found a copy I had made of the Anime Club flyer that Ru and I once ran. It's uh...cute.

So I had no choice to redo it. I added Edward Elric because it's a show that Ru likes alot. Still. Like I love Slayers, still.


UH. WE DON'T LIKE EVA. EVER. EVER. EVER.

Another comic, and hey! A fanart!

So, awful times continues with a little strip about my boyfriend and I. Being total winners at life.

The second is a gift art for my friend Charlie Irons.


That is all. I am on the final count down to 100 posts! SUPER great! I'm looking for ideas for a 100 posts celebration picture! GIVE ME IDEAS YOU PEOPLES!

Awful Times: My life as a comic

This is the first of many autobiographical comics. I will let it tell the story.

First of many posts!

I'm going to start with my favorite new show! Game of Thrones is the best thing to happen to me since Rome. An HBO series is like watching a movie that is as long as it needs to be to share all of itself with you, while keeping that beautiful cinematic quality. GUSH GUSH GUSH it's so good.
I had to do fanart immediately. After watching season one, I carefully chose my favorite characters. Arya of course, because she is a total badass, and Daenerys Targaryen. Khaleesi of all badasses.

I decided that Dany will be my first GOT fanart. I chose watercolor as the medium, and got to work. First, I referred to my Doug Sneyd Playboy artbook for some soft profiles and body structures. I then sketched her out, and used a brown fountain pen to ink it.

I started with her skin, pale, but slightly browned from the sun. Winsor & Newton paints made all the difference for really beautiful, true colors.


Watercolor has become one of my favorite mediums, since it really gives life to a drawing, even a tiny one. For my mom's birthday, I made her a really neat painting and put it in a Swedish frame I got from my friend's garage sale. The painting is very mexican in quality, and even transfers that feeling over to the frame!
