bedsheets

I was flipping through my old sketchbooks while packing and I found this comic from 2010 that I had never posted anywhere, on account of an unfinished panel that never looked good enough to ink. But I eventually bought these sheets and I love them so SO much, and finding this comic reminded me of how excited i was to sleep under them, to be like a giant sleeping under the rolling hills. And then throw off the covers and call it an earthquake.

PS: these are the sheets

Bobwhite guestie

I had a guest comic up on Bobwhite last week! I hope you'll check it out because I adore Bobwhite and I'm extremely proud of this!

except I didn't (until now).

Humphrey Comix #1

We have a new puppy named Humphrey, and his hobbies include eating things he finds on the ground and pooping in the house. It was pretty dark when I walked him tonight so I could not immediately tell if it was a weave, but he sure found a lot of them out there. We live across from an elementary school, so I really can't imagine where they came from.

I apologize to my neighbors for sticking it on their bushes where he can't reach.

The Evening Blend

This is a 12-pager I did last year. I will have it at MoCCA 2011!

Let's get things rolling again.

Fresh Meat

Can we say, Best Night Ever? Yes I think we can.

SVA's student mini-comic convention went off without a hitch despite humidity, thunderstorms, and a photocopier out of toner. Set up and breakdown went smoothly and despite an embarrassingly sloppy cropping job, I got rid of all the comics I was selling. Me and Kasey and Ashley rocked those tables. Ladies Night! Tons of people showed up (thanks to our much more thorough aggressive advertising this year), including a bunch of my teachers, former and current, plus a surprise visit from Scott McCloud, who apparently is doing a seminar or something on comics this weekend and told everyone to come to Fresh Meat! Waoh it was awesome.

I had two comics at my table: one was Alligator Day, a three-pager I worked on last semester, and the second was part one of Flamingo Island, the major backbone comic of my senior portfolio. I plan to have the second part available for MoCCA 2009, and I will probably have a few more copies of Alligator Day in there as well.





I'm so happy with both covers!

Up next: Cartooning/Illustration Open Studios, Senior Portfolio Review Day, Hanni's Pasta Party, and Graduation.

a swim across the ocean

This is the final week of classes during my senior year at SVA. Senior year was devoted to developing a portfolio for the working world, and throughout the year I've been working on a comic called "Flamingo Island". It's the story of a young girl who swims across the ocean to become the queen of the only island in the world where pink lemons grow, and where flamingos coincidentally live as well.

Although it's still in progress, I plan to have Part One finished for MoCCA Art Fest in NYC this summer. In the meantime, here are two of my favorite pages.





I plan to tone and/or color them in the near future. I am very proud of them!
