Tattooed Love Girls!


My series of La Pink Palace Salon drawings made me really wanna draw my little lovely I made up for the series.

I need a name for her! Someone give me a good name for her!

Be a Badger...about safety!

So my bosses decided that the badger is the best mascot, so I was left with the task of developing them.

I tried to do it in the style of school animal mascots. Fierce and fun! I really think I nailed it!

Before them we had these stupid owls. I didn't like them, and they did NOT go with the red background at all.


They sure do now!! I'm so proud of them!

"Logan recommended you."


It looks like LA Pink Palace Salon has another extraordinary client! Scott Summers needs a little him time too!

I may seriously do a series of these!

Multiple layers? SHUT up photoshop.

So, I've never done a piece with more than 3 layers. It's my secret to having so much finished work. Lack of time spent doing everything individually. Well, I took on the task of making the header banner for my friend Kayla's website. I decided to treat it like a papercraft. Now I'm jealous, because I want one. Then...I was like...OH MY GOD STUPID, YOU CAN MAKE ONE FOR YOU after. But seriously, I do better work for others, because I'm sick like that. Call it..."my area of growth!"

I must say, being an illustrator all this time really makes stuff like this hard for me, because I want BLACK DARK OUTLINES on everything. Bad Rachel. Quit outlining every little thing. Crazy beezy. This is the result if you don't!

POST 101. OH MAN. I need to do a celebratory drawing for that...OR try to make it to 200 posts by December. Oh Rachel, shut up your thoughts.

Anyway, this drawing is of (from left to right) me, Kane Lynch, Ru, and Breena.

POST APE inspirations!

I am so into drawing right now,thanks to APE. I've decided tonight will be a night for Anime Fanart as well, since I'm seriously considering a table for Fanime. (FOR PROFITS AND AWKWARD PEOPLE.)

I'm sure there are many nice people, all joking and high school bitchiness aside. I am the most glad to get my Xmas card design done this year, WAY early. Not only that, but Then I got the brilliant idea to make them POSTCARDS too, so I can send them to people! WOOOO. so smart.

Christmas Cupcakes will always knock you off your feet!

AND. Candy corn makes for great cupcake snowmen noses.

Talked to Ru and Kayla about having a Christmas Card Party...because we are effing women. ALSO. 12 hour comic book day, for grandmas and grandpas that have to work and stuff! I may have to organize this.

The last thing is that I finally did a Brodown fanart I'd been promising for some...time...Here on Ru's blog. As it is gift art, I will not post it here, but I will take MAD credit for it. READ THE ASTOUNDING BRODOWN, kids!
