Sometimes The Little Odds And Ends From Demos I Give In My Digital Illustration Class Result In Halfway-decent

heads

If you play today’s ultra-sweet Google Doodle Global Candy Cup, you can see my illustrations when you beat the game with the witch of your choice! I created the share images that you can post on Facebook or Twitter. You can also read about the personalities and quirks of each character here!

It was a lot of fun to work with their adorable character designs and to have a chance to flex my hand-lettering muscles. The game was designed by Sophie Diao, who also created all the assets, and animated by Nate Swinehart. Engineering by Ariel Lee, Maura Fitzgerald, Kris Hom, and Corrie Scalisi. Music and sound effects by Aivi & Surasshu. Thanks to my ADs Sophie Diao and Liat Ben-Rafael for including me in this super fun project!

Go play it! It’s pretty dang charming.

This is among a set of four prints, pages taken from my new zine “Cauldrons & Casseroles”, that will be available for purchase at SPX this weekend. You can find me at tables F6-7 with Jimmy Giegerich, Kali Ciesemier, and Sam Bosma. Come visit us!

"Pest Control", my piece for the LADY KNIGHTS // WOMEN WARRIORS zine by Abby Boeh, Roxie Vizcarra, and Julia Scott coming out at MoCCA this April. No three-eyed tusk-mawed pest is a match for this bitchin babe exterminator.

She's also the star of an upcoming comic I hope to have all ready for SPX this year. That's the plan anyhow! We'll see...In any case, she's a little too rad for me to ignore.

Last preview for now! Gotta leave some surprises for the rest of the book! #cauldronsandcasseroles

For the past couple of months, I’ve been madly preparing for May Day in Baltimore with an event in celebration of Robin Hardy’s The Wickerman. My friend Melissa LaMartina and I organized the event complete with bands playing songs from the soundtrack, burlesque performances, an actual maypole with an actual maypole dance (thank you Chuck and Chelsea!), a humongous wickerman photobooth (seen above, featuring me in my Summerisle lady garb and our very own Lord Summerisle himself), and an art show featuring gorgeous work from artists Monica Amneus, Alan Brown, Michael Bukowski, Zé Burnay, Shirley Chan, Jeanne D'Angelo, Alex Fine, Mandi Johnson, Justine Jones, Cailin Marie, Janna Morton, Becca Stadtlander, Maureen Sullivan, and Jabari Weathers. Jimmy Giegerich also designed a shirt from Pizza Party Printing specially for the event (and you can get that shirt here). I designed and illustrated the poster, a 2-color limited-edition screen print, which you can get here for $15.

Everything about Sunday was a blast and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out or more thrilled by all the hard work and response by everybody involved.

And now, come. It’s time to keep your appointment with the wickerman.
