Hey friends if you wanna listen to me talk about my illustration thought processes (and, for those of you outside of Oz, laugh at my accent) now is your chance.
“This album means everything to us. A collection of songs that simply happened to us over a period of the 9 months or so it took to record, during which time there have been numerous uncomfortable, unsettling and challenging changes all around us, not just to our personal real life situations as to where we live, but also to the catastrophe of various unaccountable, blatantly corrupt governing bodies that perch menacingly over us all like death itself,” says Dean Garcia.
Here’s a big update: my second first-author article was featured as the cover article in PRSB in February! It’s open access, so anyone can read about how sexual selection and body size interact to shape how this magnificent gestural display evolved.
Also two more that will not be scanned and uploaded because… eugh.
This is… harder… and taking longer than anticipated. Kinda feels like maybe I should have tried to paint simpler things first? Anyway. Finally moving on to the next lesson’s homework. But I really think that in order to improve I’m mostly just going to have to paint more regularly.
Lenore dress is nearly ready for Hallowe’en! It’s totally on the cheap, so cheap lace (¥98 for 2m!) and no lace covering the skirt unfortunately… but I thought I’d get a little creative with the fabric dye instead! Next I’m going to glue me on some diamantés and then wait till my husband leaves the house so I can singe the bottom, because people who are lady ghosts should look like they’ve just escaped from hell, right? I’ll post a final picture when I have the wig and make up too!
“Have you seen my pipe? Oh wait–there–it’s right in my mouth.” -Constable Jim
We are ACTUALLY peeing ourselves with excitement to announce that Jim O’Heir–yes, Jim O’Heir–will be joining Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party as none other than Constable Jim, an original character.
You may know Jim as Jerry/Gary/Larry/Terry Gergich from Parks & Recreation. And if you don’t, what are you doing with your life?? Get thee to a Netflix!
Like…can you even? I can’t even. I thought I could even but I just can’t. Parks and recreation has been so very comforting to me over the years and I am absolutely honored that Jim agreed to take on this role.
@seanpersaud and I wrote this part specifically for him and it is crazy to see this poster now….
Into the gravity of my life, the serious ceremonies of polish and paper and pen, has come
this manic animal whose innocent disruptions make nonsense of my old simplicities
as if I needed him to prove that after all that careful planning anything can happen.
I illustrated this poem for my first page of nagranowrimo! This is also literally what happened when I sat down to draw and was hindered by my aunt’s dog. I freehanded the panel lines instead of using a ruler like I usually do and for one I like this style better and it also takes a lot less time.
