i like that they are sad together.

boyish girl

When I was out in NY I got to meet Jordin Isip. He was really sweet and friendly and he asked me to participate in the Dime Bag 3 show @ Giant Robot NY! Thank you so much :) I made this little gem of a drawing to contribute to the show. So happy!

shopping cart love

two shopping carts have sex and make two more really awkward baby carts :/

thank yous

some thank you cards that i made for my mom and various people at the society of illustrators :)

thanks to barron

on tuesday night i got to hear an amazing lecture by barron storey and i was able to flip through several of his sketchbooks which were nothing short of FUCKING AWESOME!!! wow. he gets busy in his sketchbooks. there were some really obsessive lists about his keyboard in one of them and thanks to that i started a list of all of the movies i have ever seen. i got to the bottom of the page and there are still more....insanity!

the best trip to NY ever!

cleavage

still working on this dang acne series. i hope to save this painting tomorrow..

bacne

so this is the biggest painting i have ever done, whoa. i bought a big brush but it's not really getting used haha. i just keep having cool accidents with the palette knife that are better than a brush stroke. just my personal opinion.

matt was my lovely model for this painting. he doesn't have any acne on his back, just for the record, BUT he is a good friend and was willing to offer his back as the palette for acne. thank you matt :)

i'm going to keep painting while it's still wet...repost later.

sketch for my independent study project. yipeeee. there will be 7+ guys in the final drawing. this girl's kind of a slut. or are the guys pigs, which one is it?

acne vulgaris

i've been wanting to do acne portraits for a couple months now and i'm finally doing something with it for TDS painting. i think there will be 3 in the end, but this is the first one i started last night. it still needs some more work in the hair and the neck and stuff but i'm digging the way the actual acne is turning out. it's beautiful just like i imagined. bacne is next..

2 self portraits...i guess? apparently i'm fat, pissed off, and 37.
and i got new converse because my old ones were smelly. why do you look like a wannabe when you have brand new chucks? i hate that.

rihanna

(un)finished enough

i feel like i should paint a little more on the arm on the left, but i don't know if i trust my judgement at this hour. why do i look like chloe sevigny/alanis morrisette in this painting? haha that's cool

no dumping

moving day

i couldn't fit the rest in the scanner and it's too late to get into tiling :)

something is wrong right now

i'm melting

some things last a long time

i have heard that red heads will go extinct in a 100 years or so. maybe it was 1000 years? of course there will always be those of us who dye our hair red to keep it alive. but what about the irish??
my friend sarah shoemaker is a natural ginger with beautiful freckles (which i wasn't able to paint) and i thought how sad if someday there wont be natural redheads like her, and no one will be able to see this beauty anymore.
