Lil Leaping Buffalo Cookie

it's happening #TalesFromAeaea

SPX this past weekend was amazing. It always roars up like a storm and then flies by too fast! I had such a great time seeing everyone and the response to “Cauldrons & Casseroles” was more enthusiastic than I'd hoped for, so thanks to everyone that bought a copy! If you're wondering about how to buy a copy for yourself, they, along with giclée prints, LOOT tote bags, the MINISCULE (as in 3) amount of enamel pins remaining will be up on my store, andreakalfas.bigcartel.com on Monday, next week. 

I'm also going to be at Baltimore Comic Con with Pizza Party Printing and Jimmy Giegerich (who’ll be selling his unbelievably good “Fight Frogs 2″) this weekend so you can grab a copy there too! ♡♡♡

Hello little guy.  Amidst the stress of filing taxes, a cruelly indecisive springtime, and car insurance payments, this little robin was born.  Sometimes you just need to make something pretty and meaningless.

hello! i'm a new follower of your lovely work. i noticed that you illustrate/paint using gouache but do you also work digitally? i find it hard to tell, even your illustration for meg hunt's art for japan could have passed for a digital piece with all the neat brushes out there. and i thought that your recent post might be digital but i'm not too sure anymore hehe. either way, i very much admire your work. it's truly inspirational.

Hello! I love new followers (just love you guys!), and thanks very much! Yes, you were on the right track, my most recent post is all digital. I work both with gouache and digitally pretty evenly most of the time, though if the frequency were to lean towards one or the other it would be digital actually. It's neat to know that that's not terribly apparent!

18" X 24" posters of my Queen Emeraldas piece will be for sale at SPX this year in addition to my other offerings. It's rad to see it printed large! If you think so too and might want to put one on your wall, they're just $20, AND only 25 of them will be available.

To find them at the expo, look for me surrounded by the collective radness of Kali Ciesemier (whose handy map I've borrowed from her tumblr), Sam Bosma, and Jimmy Giegerich. We'll see you there!

Lucky! ... It's been awhile, friends. I have been busy drawing, writing, and teaching. All good things, but I've been absent too long, so expect to see more from me real soon.

Dusknoir! For Jordan Rosenberg's Ghost PokeZine. Check out details (because funding has ended and was successful! alright!) on its Kickstarter here. This was fun. Look at that little Eevee! So doofy and unsuspecting...

A prince!

Drybrushing with sumi ink led to some nice & creepy skulls.
