So after giving up midway through “Waiting” (Is that ironic? That I got impatient trying to figure out a picture that was about my impatience? … Yes I think it actually is), I had just been dicking around with various watercolors and casually forgot about how I’d set out to make a series of digital […]
My time off from work so far hasn’t given me quite as much room for creative springing as I would have hoped. I’ve done a few things and have a few others in the works, but this is still the first year that having free time hasn’t meant automatically a huge influx of art. this […]
While reserving the right to repeatedly modify and re-upload this image tomorrow, I must say that I’m pretty damn proud of myself for this digital piece. I won’t jump in and say that it’s the fantastic piece I’m proud of so much that I DID IT and I FOLLOWED THROUGH on a piece that was […]
Well I will say with some level of pride that playing Skyrim has been a distraction for me for the last few weeks. In general though, the lack of blog posts hasn’t corresponded with a bundle of sketches that just weren’t posted like it normally did. Transitioning out of Reading Corps into my summer school […]
I had a super cute moment this morning with the giant beast Jericho and I had him completely under control. For once he wasn’t climbing all over me because he couldn’t really get out of this position without a giant shove on his back. It gave him a good opportunity to aggressively clean his back […]

After seven years (I got it on 7/7/07) with my first and only other tablet, my Wacom Graphire 4 has been offically retired to make way for my birthday present – my fabulous new Intuos Pen/Touch. Aside from a few glaring black dots somehow acquired when I flipped from pen to eraser, the transition into […]
This is the first piece I’ve finished on my brand new laptop! I definitely went broke on this new beast of a computer at just the right time. Trying to pull my photos and documents off my old computer showed me how close it was to death. I mean maybe that’s all in my […]
So I suppose I was feeling self-indulgent today and I decided to do a portrait-style doodle of my wonderful boyfriend. What’s funny is that as soon as I started drawing him I had this huge insight into my man preferences. He looks pretty much like the kind of guy I would draw all the time […]
SOOO this happened. It’s been a great, creative weekend for the first time in what feels like forever! I have totally earned it after such a long and exhausting week. I mean, yes, I have managed to make some pictures – but today I got lost in the pictures. I spent the day with a […]
