Your Body My Choice

Not sure where else to post this. I should rename this blog to The Island of Misfit Drawrings. Meh, Moderate Sketchyness still works.

Button Commissions!

I'm doing original art button commissions!

I'll be tabling at the Rogers Park Farmers Market/Art Market on Sunday mornings (06/23, 07/28, 08/11, 09/29, 10/13) from 9am-2pm. I can also plan pick ups at other times as needed.

I'm So Tired Of Social Media

I really want to go back to just posting on my blog. It feels like such a safe space. I guess because no one looks at it. Well, anyway, I drew this dumb little comic. I've been having fun doodling these characters in animal costumes and I wanted to play around with a sort of slice of life story featuring these characters dressed up inexplicably. This is mostly just a test, but figured I'd post it here, so you can see my process. Enjoy!

Thumbnails and rough characters in sketchbook.

Pencils. I don't normally pencil in black lead anymore, but was sort of feeling nostalgic.

Inks mostly done, just have to add borders.

Borders all added and a couple final touches.

This is the final scanned.

Pencils were sort of roughly measured, but I didn't use a ruler to trace the lines. I like the rough look of it.

It's sort of hard to tell, but this was drawn on a yellowish/beige cardstock. I wanted to do it on a light green cardstock, but I didn't have the color I wanted in the correct size of paper.

Anyways, I honestly haven't been drawing a lot of comics recently. I've been doing a lot of writing and just silly fanart drawing, but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I've got some fun stuff coming up on the horizon.

No Pants Revolution 5!

 

No Pants Revolution 5 is here! In case you don't know, No Pants Revolution is my autobiographical, diary comic zine series. It started in 2014 when I tried my hand at drawing a daily comic and has evolved into a collage of comics, diary style writing and sketches from my sketchbooks. No Pants 5 is stacked. At 32 pages it's beefier than the last couple books and this one comes with a FULL COLOR STICKER SHEET! I'm super proud of the book and I can't wait for people to see it. You can get it at my online store right now!
