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.

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.

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.
