watched mermaids for the first time last night with [info]leapingcustard, who cunningly described the scenery as "masstastic." it was all thoroughly charming, and mrs. flax was the dishiest in her early 60's finery.

speaking of on-topic amazing wardrobe choices, the diva's in the details for cher in this week's las vegas weekly! i love how they handled the page layout.



and then there was cher )

today on the gritty menu we have an illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly on local racial tensions, and for pretty we are offering a sharpie and acrylic sketch of the fabulous zatanna on a piece of cardboard backing.

perhaps not the most harmonious pairing, but so it goes.

melons of om. [Jan. 3rd, 2008|11:59 am]
[Tags|, , , ]

another new illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly, this time about a porn convention! taking that into consideration, i think i managed to keep the cheesecake to a fairly sedate level, but i will warn you; never before in my art career have i drawn melons so large. not that these ones are any larger than what you'd see on your average female background character in what we call "ze comics," but still.

to counteract the extremely sparkly sordidness of the aforementioned, i'm also including a sketch of everybody's favorite son of a serial-womanizer-for-justice hot multiracial vigilante buddhist monk, connor hawke. i drew him for the lovely [info]rubynye on the occasion of her never have i ever birthday meme.




so a porn star and a buddhist monk walk into this lj-cut... )

i handled the cover art for the current issue of the las vegas weekly. the main article is about the troubled career of former NBA player keon clark.



what happened to keon clark? )

it's like i'm a real grown-up artist person and everything! :D

eta: oh, and how could i forget this freakishly lovely chistmas card from the illustrious [info]queenvera? it's art-tastic! )

here's a new illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly on a book called holidays are hell. it's got bats in it, so i decided to do a little pencil sketch of batman too! ...not that it ever takes much to convince me to draw batman.




holiday hell. )

i am notoriously awful about updating this space with anything pertinent to my actual life, which i assure you all is lived semi-fully in the offline world. i am also not the best at updating in a timely manner, so please excuse this throwback to a few weeks ago; i had a lovely time at APE. i shared a table with my pal brandon and helped him hawk his wares. i met his buddy, cool young creator sina grace whose comic Books with Pictures is totally rad. i saw [info]queenvera, [info]bexone, and [info]kiriko_moth, all of whom bought silly little sketchbooks from me. thank you, guys! and thanks to everybody else who bought my book. i sold out in the good way!

and while i was in san francisco, of course i had to swing by chinatown. the bubble tea! the illegal toy vending machines! the so-apt-as-to-be-ridiculous storefront names!



thank you, san francisco! i finally know where i (partially) belong.

i also landed an illustration gig! i got to draw Minikiss being thrown out of a library, where cover songs are apparently not tolerated.

behold. )
