More sketches! I’ve been using brush pens and ink brush again in my sketchbook because it makes me happy. :)
Taken Back to the Outskirts, 2012
Working on a bunch of projects that I cannot share yet, so that’s why posting here is scarce lately!
What I can share—some extremely rough, fast, 3-am 2-page spreads from my sketchbook. Working towards a series I will be doing my “old fashioned” way (hand-inked as opposed to digital) on some good crunchy paper. Text is possible, but unlikely.
Stuck in the train station, waiting for a delayed train, people-watching.
Something big I’m working on. Didn’t have access to my tablet while I was scanning this, so I laid out the colors via touchpad (i.e messily, but there).
This is four layers of different inks—one layer which is entirely comprised of squirming bodies! There was a night this past week with me huddled over my drawing table inking millimeter upon millimeter of writhing-thing and imagining screaming “WHY DO I MAKE THESE CHOICES” because a millimeter at a time does not feel like it is progressing at all…but ultimately, it feels so much better than clone-stamping a few things. I know most people won’t notice the difference, butIwill.
I can’t get the image of grouchy Christmas Wolverine with little mistletoe berries-and-leaves on the end of his hair…spike…things…out of my head. Even though it is June.
Murruh Krssmrzz or something hnggh mangruntysound.
Assorted stuff from past weeks. Sketching! Always sketching. Even when decomposing, sketching!
Watch this dude swing man boy I tell you what he’s got a real wind-up just don’t ask him what he thinks about politics I tell you what.
An extremely accurate and serious self-portrait.
If you are having trouble finding me in a crowd, just be on the lookout for a short-ish, stocky female hadouken-ing steaks furiously.
Burn Out Your Madness
Let it burn, let it sear, don’t let it settle.
