Okay I’m sorry I’ve got to rant in a way that I might remove later, but what the hell, I’ve been annoyed for the past 3 days and I want to own to it. See I’m entering what has always been a tricky phase of “The Cadence of a Restless Heart” — the phase where […]
source Got a little story to tell. I am living in New Zealand right now and this past week my study abroad group and I went to the Cook Islands. I don’t need to tell you that an island like that, tropical, surrounded by coral, carpeted in deep green, is unbelievably beautiful. But it […]
I read Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar when I was way too young, maybe 14 or 15. It was absolutely horrifying to me, drifting about from one mishap to the next with prose that made me want to cry. But because of all of the elements I seem to be pulling from old American literature […]
I was going to do some pretty girl, but I made some awesome monster woman instead. My pieces are usually pretty static so this movement is like HELL YES. I wanted to see if I could do one of those old fashioned indulgent cute pictures of Micah with a more technical media. Then when I […]
So in the past few weeks, I’ve been redeveloping the past between Danyil and Ingrid in response to a very logical observation on behalf of an editor. Basically, I needed to recreate Ingrid’s descent from human to vampire because her original story didn’t fly with my handmade vampire logic. A baby turned into a vampire […]
So, one of my all-time, longest-lasting favorite movie is “Mulan.” My whole family + all the childhood friends I’ve ever had know this.

it’s been so quiet in here! i’ve been too busy working and doing school and writing papers and doing an art internship to say much in here. oh and drawing naked people. i’m taking life drawing this semester, and finding that i feel very familiar with the human figure, and so in class all these […]
I am experiencing the most intense literature-related whiplash OF MY LIFE. You know what I’m talking about — the daze that follows the departure from a fictional world in which you’ve long invested, whether your own or someone else’s. In my case, devouring the tales from Middle-earth as penned by J.R.R. Tolkien was an unexpected […]
whoa, wordpress facelift! all right then. i can deal. anyway, was sketching. find myself repulsed by the idea of penning/colored penciling things, so in this case i settled for a pencil sketch with digital colors /lazy i decided that lucienne, cirrus and ingrid would really get along. it wasn’t until was contemplating coloring this that […]
