Joie de Vivre

I did my first Dr. Sketchy's last night. For the uninitiated, it's life drawing with Burlesque girls and booze. The venue, Guilt & Co, was pretty cool, though they were out of Steak Tartar. It's been a long time since I've life drawn and I definitely struggled to find my groove again. Kicked in around the 5 minute poses though I started to overwork the 10 minute ones. The model was the lovely Cara Milk who did a great job and even did a quick burlesque number as an intermission. The biggest challenge with drawing burlesque is what to do focus on each pose. There's the pose/gesture, but there's also the clothing/details, the pattern/texture and the lighting/shine. One of the unscanned drawings won a sketchbook for being too French in a cartoony/funny way. Bully for me!I already bought my ticket to the next one.

Now Until the Moment of Your Last Breath

Wowzers! Been gone a while folks, but with good reason! I finally got a paying gig here in Vancouver(The place where I now live.) I found a Drink and Draw-like group called Artery and it's pretty cool. Here's some art I've done at various meets. I'm going to my first ever Dr. Sketchy's tomorrow so expect some more stuff soon.

I am pregnant. I'm not even going to ask what you men are doing out here in your matching pajamas, by the way.

Let's not fuck with Larry Amin.

He just wanted to say hello.

Calgary Expo

Hey gang, I've been really busy lately with my latest comic book venture, The Five Stages of Near-Death Lesbian Sex. It's on sale at the Vicious Ambitious table at the Calgary Expo this very weekend! I'll get back to the Royal Tenenbaums next week and after that, maybe Life Aquatic? Maybe Fantasy Mission Force? Stay tuned.

I Don't Think You're An Asshole, Royal

I just think you're kind of a son of a bitch.

Pea to the Nut 2

In an effort to get my friend Chad to post more of his webcomic, I've taken it upon myself to do the next one to get the ball rolling again. I can only speculate based on conversations with him that is the next logical installment of the ever popular duo. So here's a new Pea to the Nut Comic by Chad Veinot as channeled by me. Enjoy!

Wielder of the Mega-Rod

Big Barda of DC comics. My favorite comic book lady. I don't necessarily like muscly woman, I just like women who can take care of themselves and lift more than 10 pounds. Takk from the Nobodies is my love letter to Barda.

Your Haircut is Offensive to Lesbians!

Drink and Draw Dump! I might do a new daily fanart series soon as the futuristic world of 2010 is finally upon us! Tremble and recoil uponst yourselves, people of the future!

A Takk

A pic of 'Takk' from the 'Nobodies.' This is an older version of her, notice the lack of the eyepatch as well as her warhammer, also named 'Takk.' I don't think I'll get the issue done for this year's convention, but I am STILL working on the series. Just gotta get all these other projects wrangled.
