Cloud Study

Drawing from nature is always a good way to sharpen an artist’s skills.

Another "Hey, Koo!" to add to the soon-to-be collection of haiku comics written by Kalia Armbruster and arted by me. Still settling into this line-art style with flat color. It's a great exercise and I'm having fun working within the restraints. More to come, ya'll.

Good good, Good bad, Bad bad: Buffy

I watched the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie last night, and while I remembered it being good, I had not remembered how good.  This is a fantastically funny, stylish vamp/90s high movie.  Self-aware camp and super  likeable vampire make-up makes this Good good.  One of the finest scenes involves Paul Reubens getting stabbed with a ruler.

Misspelled Characters: Captain Americat

New segment, folks, in which I imagine a world where careless writers pass along a minimally but catastrophically mistyped script to the artist who does his/her best to make the character function as intended. First up: Captain Americat.  No shield pictured because it is being used as a milk saucer.

I DR NY

My wonderful friend has been going to medical school for long enough to be forced to decide where to do her residency.  The possibles were Boston, NYC, or Philadelphia.  Thankfully for all, especially me who has come to rely on her medical advice, she will remain in NY!  As a not-going-away present, I painted her a little something because she will, in fact, be stethoscoping New York. Watercolor (which is awesomely cheap) on water color paper (which is awesomely pricey.)

Bird 6: Northern Cardinal

Hello everyone, hope you had a great holiday weekend and that it was lazy and full of fine foods. Back on the birdwagon here. Today is a female Northern Cardinal, one of the prettiest northeast birds in my opinion. Haven’t shown much of a wing view yet, so here you go! The set is going well, many many birds still to go until I can even think about layout for the poster. Gonna pick up the pace a bit.

Dream JRNL #1

It is not a necessary evil, but an ever-present one: the abbreviated vocabulary used when texting. Like typos, you must be ever vigilant in a time of incredibly disposable communication. There are moments however, when typos happen; usually in those rushed or half-focused texts. For the past few months, I’ve been doing this thing where I will wake up and punch out a text with an autonomous thumb. I scarcely remember doing this in the morning but am always amused by them. So far, nothing bad has happened, so I haven’t switched to another form of alarm system that doesn’t have MMS capabilities. I actually don’t know what MMS stands for, I just know that it stands for something that means texting. Here is an example of one of these dream texts. Funny how just a little typo makes you look insane…

Yoga Me

I started doing yoga a month ago. Doing the job I do, I was in pretty serious need of yoga without really knowing it, with all the sitting and staring for most of every waking hour.  I’ve quickly become obsessed, as I am known to do, so I drew a picture of me doing yoga thinking about the things I think about when doing yoga.

The Fine Art of Design.

Did a magazine ad for a great vintage shop in Palm Springs. Was a fun project and allowed me to do more textural work which I’ve been getting into recently, and a touch of screentone which I’ve found hard to incorporate into my style but like the challenge a lot.

A mini comic I thought up in the shower, where most of my good ideas come from. This poor guy just got his sunrise / magma flow times mixed up.
