surprise!

new moleskine italia journal

Guess what! I'm a terrible blogger! I suppose that's not a surprise. But I'm working on developing a couple new projects (gotta get those illustration contracts and pay off those student loans!) and now that I've graduated from AAU and we've settled into our new duty station in Naples, I can at least pretend I'm striving to make this process blog a routine. Already there's a challenge: Blogger is in Italian! 

Stay tuned, internets, I'll have more posts throughout the week (and this declaration makes me nervy).

Post-Apocalyptic Space Pirate Hero Chick

For funsies I may digitize this later. This blog is starting to look a little gray...

caricature

I'm taking a character design class and we just studied caricatures. I think I coulda' gone farther on this one but I didn't want to lose that aaaaooooww look on his face.

buzz

I used this photo as a reference for my very first digital painting. Corel Painter isn't nearly as frightening as I had thought. 

Graphite-Stained Wretch

Some random graphite stuff from the week including environmental sketches for my thesis project.

It's been a while...

I started this blog a couple years ago as a means of escape from a dreary office job, but since then I've quit that job, moved to San Francisco, entered a graduate program in illustration, got married, became a Navy wife and relocated to Jacksonville, FL. Now I've got drawings and sketches and art coming out of my ears, so I'm re-upping the blog.

Cheers!

I'd never leave the house...

...but I'd entertain all the time.
