Tits and Tentacles

No scanner access until today, so y'all get my Tits and Tentacles picture, plus some sketches from yesterday. I'm struggling to figure out how to shade using prisma grey markers, but I think this picture was a breakthrough for me. Still working on it, though.


Disembodied caaat head. I feel like I'm copping Heather's style, just because of the media. I learn marker shading so slowly, but progress is beginning to happen.

That's me pushing nasty reality away from my happy bubble above, btw.

Too Much Coffee

Another in my series of "this is what I've been up to while traveling" comics. The aforementioned coffee (which was DELICIOUS) is actually responsible for three other comics aside from this one because I couldn't sleep for the LIFE of me that night.

I am slowly learned how to shade with some amount of skill. I brought my set of greyscale brush pens with my on vacation, and they're getting a workout.

That's my "going to a nice restaurant better femme up" look, btw. I didn't actually own any girly heels until about a month ago when my friend Dan gave me a pair of his for my birthday. Dan's a rockstar like that.

Reading Bubble

I need to work on my shading, but the comic journal idea is good practice. I could really use some greyscale prismas making my life easier, but c'est la vie.

James is the reason for this one- James and his stupidly good reading suggestions.

More travel comics

More comics from my travels! On my flight from Seattle to Chicago, I had this awesome, involved conversation with Muriel Anderson about performance, music, events management, and the range of emotions that accompanies it all. She let me put my ukulele on top of her guitar in the overhead baggage bin and emailed me the sheet music for a cello and guitar composition she had written. It was really inspiring for me as a performer.

Grey brush pens and a range of white prismas are my heart when it comes to comics. Swear ta god. Also, the first appearance of my nape piercing in a self portrait!
