I miss derby. I’ve been avoiding it a bit at the moment, mainly because I hate not being part of it and knowing that I won’t have time for it for a little while. Still … all the skating and fun and fitness and outfits and FRIENDS … I miss them so! Last night my [...]

My friend and I hit up the Boutique Warehouse Sale Spring Preview Party last night in Timonium – a sneak peek at what local designers would be releasing for spring. We’ve only just started dabbling in the Baltimore/DC Fashion Scene, having made previous visits to a Preview Sale in DC (that was a mobhouse, but featured [...]

It’s time for Part 3 of my Comics Making Process – Inking! When we last left off we had a page all pencilled, waiting for some ink: So I gather together all my favorite inking tools. I prefer the Pentel Brush Pen, and Microns of various sizes. The Pentel is a fairly recent obsession [...]
Wonky Weather

Sorry for the silence lately – it was appropriate, because I was called out of town in order to attend my dear grandmother’s funeral. I want to post a proper memorial on her, once I can figure out how to straighten out my words into what I want to say. She was amazing, as grandmothers [...]

Here we go on to Part 2 of my comics making process – pencilling! So now I move into my office, and set up shop at my drawing desk. Yes, it’s a little old and filthy and apparently I work best when surrounded by clutter … shh! Don’t tell anyone! I’ve got my coffee and [...]

Today I want to give you a peek into my comic process. Here, I’m going to use the next page of Gods & Undergrads as an example – as I’m updating it, I’ll post the steps I go through in order to update that particular comic, page by page. So, first, I lay out my [...]
Nerdin’ Out

Wearing my glasses, OD’ing on coffee, and doing my taxes. Yes, it’s an exciting Saturday morning in my house! For some reason I secretly enjoy pouring through a year’s worth of receipts and book orders and calculating just what exactly happened in 2010. Is that weird? I’m also listening to episode after episode of A [...]

Until I get some new Gods & Undergrads pages up, here are a couple faces … which, incidentally, are my favoritest thing to draw!

I’ve now posted the new stuff I premiered at Staple! up on my Etsy store. Woop! I think my favorite Wendy fan who I talked to was considering putting her picture on the door of the women’s bathroom of his new restaurant, and Jack on the door of the men’s bathroom. I’m not sure what [...]
30-for-30: All 30 Outfits

Here it is … my complete 30 for 30! What did I learn from this experience? A bunch of things. I definitely rely on jeans too much, I need more comfortable flats, and it’s really important that I bother to get clothes that fit instead of ones that need adjusting! One of my favorite things [...]
