lovely couple

I did a few ink drawings for some of my friends' stories this holiday season—and this one is probably my favorite. Quite a pair, yes? :)

rawr!

James ran across this picture on his google reader while I was looking for something to draw in my sketchbook. The result may be my favorite thing in the book so far:

I should probably give him a speech bubble, huh? Also, I've also been going to life drawing sessions at PNCA. And I did some smaller colored pencil pieces (20 or 25 minutes each) that actually fit on my scanner:

social networking drag-down

So I'm taking a weekend illustration class with Ryan Bubnis (check out his site, his stuff is neat!). The first assignment was to illustrate this NPR broadcast about social networking sites and how dependent on them people have become. Mine pretty much wound up summing up my feelings on Facebook.

life drawing & self-portrait

This is the first self portrait I ever attempted a) of this size (it's on 18''x24'' newsprint) and b) in charcoal. I've been slowly getting used to charcoal again, having not touched it since when I was getting my BA.

And although the quality of the photos is dismal, I uploaded a handful of pieces of life drawings from October and November to my flickr here.

doodle amnesty

I've been hoarding my drawings all October. So here is an assortment of original character doodles I finally got around to compiling and posting. Group picture in color, sheet for younger characters, a haircut, you better believe those are Minnie Mouse ears and a page of comic about a dirty limerick.
