SO MUCH WRAPPING.

after thinking that Christmas was lame, and I had the retail blues, some creativity and DAISO Japan saved the day!

I got the boys and girls all taken care of, and the boyfriend too, with accenting from vintage wrapping paper. I love the blue tool paper. It came in a package marked "Masculine Paper". What better paper could I use for my manly man?

Also fun pins from the Walt Disney Family Museum that can ONLY be found there. A little lace really helped cover up the ugly black cardboard they put them on.

Larissa drawing!

I had some time at work to do some drawing, so I pumped out a lovely Larissa! Yay Jerkwater, when the holidays are over, I'm going to have a real website to update!!

Hawkins is all about T and A.

True Story.

Disney Alphabet Project?

Jerkwater final cast!

I have narrowed down my character list to these 6 girls!

Peanuts inspiration!

I went to the Cartoonist Spotlight Ru was asked to do at the Charles Schultz Museum, and was inspired to do a few comics! They had premade panel pages, so I did a few comics, and then a full page pin-up of Lucy!

The first is a Snoopy comic.

The second one was for Jerkwater Drones, the zombie high school girl comic I swear I'm going to work on.

Finally, Miss Lucy, all grown up!


AW YEEEEAH DRAWING AGAIN.

PAINTING has occured!!

Well, I finally made use of those blank nesting dolls I got at Flax in 2000! My gran has had 3 cats in my lifetime, so I immortalized them!

Acrylic Paint and some Modge Podge!

Then I got to work wrapping tiny gifts for my friends. Lots more to come, but they are so CUUUUUTE. I had so much fun making them!


I love using brown paper bags for this shit! Looks so good with a little scrap paper!

The vixen and the badger.

I was listening a cover of one of my favorite songs the other day, and was inspired to do little doots. The Fox by Nickel Creek is just amazing, so you should check it out!

Anyway, these are my doodles. There is no badger in the song, but hell, I really liked the style I did it in, so I needed one more creature!



This song makes me thing of my grandfather, since he was the big bluegrass fan. I would sing this song with my dad and talk about him. Touching, ain't it?

My Little Fanarts.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC people. Thanks for the life lessons My Little Pony.

I have done heads of all of the girls, for massive amounts of no reason at all. Cutey marks make great earrings. I may have to make some. Obviously these are the main ponies.



Don't judge me. I love effing ponies, and anime. My next post is original stuff, I swear!!

You wanted MORE fanart? OK!

Oh Netflix, once again you have brought me something amazing. My favorite Anime of all time. I have been watching it with Breena the last 3 days, as I mentioned before, but the fanarting bug has gotten more and more serious. I’ll start with my post about this, and then the other drawings I’ve been working on!

First, my OTP for the series, Zelgadis and Amelia. I always imagine Amelia having longer hair, so I just do it.


Then one of Xellos and Lina. Xellos is probably my favorite supporting character, and he and a gap commercial from my youth inspired my long lasting screen name, MeLLoXeLLoS.



And finally, the most important.

Woo anime fanart!!

I was making Breena watch Slayers with me while we we drawing, and couldn't help myself. I had to draw us together. My boyfriend has the novels that came out years ago, which is initially what spurred this rush of Slayers love.



Yeeeeeeah. I still watch Anime.

Christmas Wrapping...yes already.

Mom and I went shopping, and got a bunch of stocking stuff...so I thought, I'm going to wrap them the way I want to.

Admittedly, I hate the fact that My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music became a Christmas song that every bad jazz singer felt the need to cover. HATE IT. But I love brown paper packages tied up with string. Hemp string. And brown paper from left over shopping bags. It's not just for wrapping school books with, kids! get some double sided tape, and get a'wrappin'!


You can now enjoy not blowing huge money on wrapping, and still have it look really nice. This pleases everyone, and if you really want to, all you need is some holiday tags. Hell, cut out shapes and punch a hole in it, then tie on after the knot on the package, then bow over it. Go wild. And also look at my face, which is just as pretty as those presents.

The Boyfriend's Cat.

I was able to pump out a comic about my boyfriend's cat, Hawkins. It is a long comic, because he is a long cat. YES. LONG CAT IS STILL RELEVANT.

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!

Everyone needs some pampering!

So, Geekery is something I enjoy. I also enjoy being a girl. So.

The Xmen:Salon Series.

There ya go, Megan!

FINISHED IT

THE END.

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!
