Sketchbook Project
Sooo... I was gonna do the Sketchbook Project, and then I didn't fill my book in time, so I have a half baked lil' sketchbook on my hands. Ah well!
Here a few drawings that never got scanned in... the theme was "And Then There was None," so I wanted to interpret it as mythological/ extinct things...

Emerald City Comic-Con 2011 Wrap-Up
A huge thanks to everybody who swung by Seattle this weekend and say to me and Damon as we headed up our first ever individual table over in Artist Alley!!
The weekend was a huge success; met many new fans, met up with old friends, and hung out with some wonderfully talented artists!
Friday Damon and I got interviewed for an awesome podcast called Air Raid, and talked about working in the industry and how we met. Go check out the podcast here!
That evening, we got to go hang out with the ifanboy people and Molly McIsaac and do some live painting with some really great artists. Damon and I got to work on a painting side by side (and with!!!) Camilla D'Errico, Scott C and Jim Mahfood. The paintings were later auctioned off for charity Saturday night.
Saturday and Sunday, we got to meet and hang out with other artists at the con. There were a bunch of Girls Drawin Girls ladies around the exhibit hall, including Laurie B, Brittney Lee, Liana Hee, Megan Levens, and Amy Mebberson.
More awesome artists who I got to run into and who you should TOTALLY check out their works are Echo Chernik, Alberto Ruiz, Drake Brodahl, Dean Trippe, Kevin Dart, and too many more to mention!
I have two remaining necklaces for sale, and a few sketchbooks and prints that I'll put be putting up on my Etsy store, so if you missed out, don't worry- there's still a few goodies left!
Here are a few commissions and sketch cards I did for folks!

Giant Freshwater Stingray Mermaid
We saw this awesome program on TV that was about these monster freshwater stingrays in Thailand. These things are INCREDIBLE: seriously massive. Anyway, inspired this drawing here... it's sort of a baby monster stingray...

Check out my stuff over on Sketch Theatre!
ha ha! It's so weird to see me draw in super fast time- Sketch Theatre has some AMAZING videos of super talented artists drawing stuff and being filmed in time lapse.
Much thanks to Lily and the other Sketch Theatre folks for allowing me to draw for them!! : D

Rough studies
Betta Mermaid
You would think my love for mermaids and for Betta Fish would have resulted in this drawing way before now, but yes, it did take this long to combine the two.
