| Online shop now open! :D |
[Feb. 9th, 2012|06:30 pm] |
After almost a decade of meaning to put this together, my online shop is finally open! I’ve put together a selection of brand new items just for the occasion, each lovingly hand-signed and packaged:
• Wonder Motif Tote Bag
• “Girl Reporters” Print Set
• “Flashbacca” Print
• “Pop Culture” Print Set
Shipping anywhere in the US is fulfilled via USPS Priority Mail and costs only $4.70, no matter how many items you buy. International orders will likewise be sent via USPS First Class International Mail for a flat rate of $6.00 USD.
I had a lot of fun designing both the prints and the tote bag, and I hope I can come up with even more neat products in the future! Thanks for looking, LJ. ;) |

[Nov. 23rd, 2011|05:18 pm] |
Hey pals, I am such a huge, huge fan of this musical project that I am going to post about it. At length. It's seriously worth a quick, casual listen, and it's downright delicious for people who are into backstory.
BLACKOUT SHADES
An album of music inspired by Batman,
his acquaintances, loves, and foes
by Maiden Names
♪ Listen to and/or purchase Alexa and Mark’s Batman-inspired album, Blackout Shades, at the Maiden Names’ Bandcamp!
♪ Learn about Alexa's inspirations and thoughts on the Dark Knight in a special installment of the Make Believers podcast!
♪ Watch the Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow music video, directed by my boyfriend Neil Cicierega, at yoursuffering.com or below:
This is a project that's been over a year in the making. Alexa is a talented visual artist as well as a gifted songwriter and singer, who happens to have an abiding interest in the cast of characters who populate Gotham.
Here's a track listing, along with who/what the songs are about:
1. Love Your Enemy (Joker)
2. American Hero (Two-Face)

| Makeup and Make Believers |
[Mar. 16th, 2011|07:53 pm] |
Two things! First, I went off the wall bonkers for the special edition Wonder Woman themed makeup line by MAC Cosmetics, featuring product art by the amazing Mike Allred of Madman fame. So bonkers, in fact, that I felt compelled to show off my purchases and demonstrate my favorite look from the collection. Silly, I am aware! But all in great fun. I am a fan.
Second, I've started a podcast with my good friend and occasional cosplay cohort, Alexa Rose! If you're a fan of art, esoteric minutiae, ghost stories, hijinks, and all other manner of bizarre topics, please give Make Believers a listen!
*** Make Believers is also on iTunes, if that's how you prefer to catch your podcasts. :) |

Hi guys! Remember me? I like superheros and stuff, so here, I drew a few.
Aquagirl by ~mysteryming
Tula, AKA Aquagirl, a former Teen Titan.
Invincible and Atom Eve by ~mysteryming
Atom Eve and Invincible! This pinup was featured in the supersized Invincible #75 issue. Also, it wants to wish you a happy Valentine's Day. ♥
The Amazing Joy Buzzards by ~mysteryming
I drew this pinup for The Amazing Joy Buzzards way back in 2008, and here it finally is! If anyone knows what issue it was published in um that would be cool.
PUMA MAN by ~mysteryming
"Puuuma, Man! He flies like a moron!" Some MST3K fun.
Orion by ~mysteryming
Hotcha, how did this Orion slave girl get here?
Anyway, that's it from me for now! Hoping to do a bit of a review of some items from MAC's amazing Wonder Woman makeup line, since you know I gorged myself on that consumerism like nobody's business. And I have comics stuff to talk about too! But all for another day. :) |
