One of my favorite artists, Mary Blair, would have been 100 years old today.  Did you see the Google Doodle?  I went nuts!

Spend the day at PIXAR!

This is a special benefit for the Cartoon Art Museum.  It looks really cool AND it's on my birthday, but I don't really think I can come up with $250 for such an outing (that money is earmarked for Dickens Fair and my birthday party).  But maybe one of YOU can, and if you do, please take pictures - if permitted.

Retro Style!

Illustration I did in Inkscape for my dad's birthday card.  I think I am going to re-do the feet.  Not crazy about them.

Boosting the signal

This is a really fun and talented group of people to get together and draw with: http://www.meetup.com/East-Bay-Sequential-Artists/.  Next get-together is October 22.  I am tentatively planning on going, but I may be stuck at home studying for my astronomy mid-term.

Empress Revisions

Some revisions to the Empress character design:

I am leaning towards this version, even though it kind of looks like a Bratz doll.

Character Line-up: The Empress's New Clothes

The is the first draft character line-up for my All-Goth Extravaganza: The Empresses New Clothes.  I am not entirely sure I love the All-Goth Idea.  Once I get the characters to my liking, I am going to play around with costume and setting.

Draw a Monster - Homework for ArtDM 165

I decided to do the beginning class's homework, only in color.  I need more practice using color. 

While I sort through my art, deciding what to post, I thought I would share this website, which is my current obsession: http://www.issuu.com/.  There is more material there than I can read in a lifetime, on every subject I can think of.  Check it out.
