would you like a cup of tea?

Here's a doodle I did while waiting for a file to open of a very angry bigfoot. I rather think he's angry because he's feet aren't big at all, and all the other sasquatches [sasquatchi?] make fun of him relentlessly. (Tiny feet are a sign of genetic weakness!) THUS, HE IS SO ANGRY. He would be better if he had a cup of tea, I think. Tea can be soothing.

There's also some math in there, because, you know, math is cool. And I do a bit of it now and again.

happy post-its

It's Friday afternoon, and I thought, hey, the old blog could really use a crappy picture of a post-it drawing I did the other day. Huzzah, and the greatest shortest blog post was born!

love a good ramble in the morning

Ha! So! I look very tired, no? It's because (sadly? Not sadly? I honestly cannot tell if this is sad or totally normal) I've been staying up late (for me that's around midnight-1am) to play Dragon Age. To play through it. Okay, twice. Because it's awesome. If you haven't played it, it's awesome. Typical fantasy RPG killing-is-totes-hip-guys type murder spree with lots of chatty-chat. And because I wanted to be Queen, and you can't do that if you're an Elf because everyone is RACIST in the game, I had to re-play as a human. SO, 70+ hours later, here I am. Tired. But very satisfied. And about 4 hours into the expansion because I just cannot help myself. Also, QUEEN.

But you might be wondering: why does she look like a ghoul if she's just getting 5-6 hours of sleep a night? BECAUSE I AM PART BEAR, MY FRIEND. Fun fact: My mother was a grizzly bear that escaped Yellowstone National Park in spring of 1983. She met my father, who is human, I assure you, and fell in love (YES BEARS CAN DO THAT) and two years later they had me. I totally look human, but I require 9-10 hours of solid sleep per day, otherwise my load bar simply does not load. It's like 70%, and you're tapping the computer and going "why in the hell won't Hot Tub Time Machine fucking work. This is shit."

So, in conclusion, this could basically be a snapshot of me today. (My shirt is even green.) But it isn't, BECAUSE I DREW IT. Mmhmm. Yes.

waiting for you

Updated the old bloggity blog. I wanted it to match my Twitter, and sort of be this cohesive thing, because my etsy store just has it's own vibe. So, like it? Hate it? Dislike how I change it every couple months because I become bored? No worries on the last one, I dig this, so I'll probably keep it for awhile.

Here's the old one, for comparisons sake:


In other news, I have a indie craft show this SUNDAY, May 15th, in Long Beach. If you're around, you should come say hi. I'll be at Booth 83, nearish the middle, because I'm awesome. There will be monsters! Among other awesome things! Come, be merry!

disneyland times

I went to Disneyland with Justin yesterday, so here's a drawing! It was really hot yesterday, thus the moody look. The park was very crowded, but I did get on some of my favorites. And I'm very excited for the opening next month of the (long-awaited) Little Mermaid dark ride.

monsters all the time

I might possibly have a monster obsession lately. Monsters of the cute and cuddly and eyeball-y variety, but monsters nonetheless. Also, I've been posting a lot lately too, so hooray for that. Monsters, blog posts, it's like a whole new world up in here. Hope you enjoy these guys, and if you're looking to own one, you can check here for updates on that front.

monsters in your pocket

These are some monster designs I've done recently for these needle-felted monsters (see below) I'm making for Patchwork in Long Beach next month and Comic-Con in July. I think they're pretty great, and they make me so happy I want to clap my hands. Yes! So, if you're at either of those conventions, you should purchase one of my fellas. BECAUSE THEY'RE AWESOME. (In my opinion.)



Fun fact: "Holla" is a frequently used label for my posts. Yes.

self-potrait style

I've been doodling self-portraits in between projects at work, so here's a few. And by few, I mean 2.

quick post

Quick figure drawing from my sketchbook, re-traced and colored in photoshop! Kinda reminds me of that marker stuff we'd do at Ringling, but you know, colors are cool.

here fishy fishy fishy

A few weekends back we went to the Long Beach Aquarium again, and it was utterly fantastic, again! These are pictures I took with the Toy Camera app I have on my iPhone. Despite all the children and people talking about "how tasty that _________ looks" (we wondered if they say these things at the zoo, too... does that koala look yummy?) the aquarium is very relaxed. It reminds me very much of going to Jungle Gardens back at school and drawing the animals. It also makes me miss Ringling quite a bit.











Anywho. Good luck to those of you in school and thesis-ing. It's that final push that's the toughest, because you have to worry about the future while trying to focus on the present, but you all can do it!
