"Morning Ritual"

That drawing of my hair in the first panel? Not at all exaggerated.

Stumpy Pencil

Have I ever talked about Stumpy Pencil? My good friend Mike Foran developed this Photoshop brush that beautifully replicates the look and feel of your favorite worn-down pencil. I use it ALL the time, so if you're a regular visitor of this blog (then gosh, thank you! ♥) you've seen it before; like here, and here, and also here!

The brushes are pressure-sensitive, so you can really experiment with different textures and finishes. I highly recommend downloading the preset and playing around with it.

I will leave you with my most recent Stumpy Pencil doodle; a comic depicting what happens when my husband makes me a cup of coffee:

85% true

D'awww

Good Grief, Carly Brown!

Homesick

Journal Comic? Eh?

So I decided I was going to start a journal comic...and then never updated again! I need to get crackin'!

Workplace shenannigans

A bit of an inside joke between Siobhan and I. See, we were making fun of the band Mew when we saw them open for Kasabian last week at Webster Hall. And here I am listening to them! Ha ha ha! How embarassing! My goodness!

Those Betty Davis eyes...

I notice that there's this facial type in men that I find very intriguing. Mostly it has to do with the eyes. Take Elijah Wood and Steve Carell here for example. Both wide-eyed, with a rather pronounced lower lid. I don't know why I'm so drawn to it (heh), but it's always been my favorite type to sketch.

Expect some more with these guys...

In the meantime, here's a shot of me in my super tidy workspace. For a more complete picture, imagine Radiohead's Exit Music (For A Film) in the background. DRAMA.

Lest I fall behind...

I should have known better than to challenge Justin Offner!

More art!

Zowie! More art work! Here's a sketch of myself, friend Meredith, and Lauren in Paris!

This one is a painting of Devon Aoki (Miho from Sin City) Photo reference used. Sketched and painted in photoshop! Good gravy!



Last, but not least - and because I can't help myself - a new work in progress. It's Maggie Gyllenhaal!

Or is it?
