Really excited to share the final product with everyone with weekend #spx2015 #cauldronsandcasseroles
It's a little snowflake sprite!
I desperately want it to snow, and would like to inspire a little mythical assistance.
I painted this skater babe for a demo in Kali Ciesemier's lifestyle illustration class. Fun!
This is a repeat post from my other blog, but I thought this little guy could show off over here! I think this may be my favorite thing I've ever drawn, ever. Sometimes the simplest things just sing to me. I made it into a pattern and am picturing a community of fox burrows under the snow. That's a little too sweet, kinda sugary...but maybe that's appropriate? I would love to print this on fabric! Wouldn't it look great on a set of kids' sheets or a kids' throw blanket? Now who wants to sponsor that project...
Mad Max for the Silver Screen Society's May gallery. Thanks to Trevor Basset for the invitation!

Dusknoir! For Jordan Rosenberg's Ghost PokeZine. Check out details (because funding has ended and was successful! alright!) on its Kickstarter here. This was fun. Look at that little Eevee! So doofy and unsuspecting...
This is The Cosmic Shroud. I created him for Rotopol's Super Villains exhibit opening November 25 in Kassel, Germany. There are tons of really excellent artists taking part including Hellen Jo and Victo Ngai. This was a lot of fun, and I was so happy to be invited to take part. I wish I could be at the opening! Check out Rotopol's site here for more details.
Here's my little backstory on the Shroud (warning - real nerdy):
The Cosmic Shroud burst from the shadow of a lunar eclipse, and roams the galaxy compressing matter into singularities for absorption. It hunts anything from space-traveling heroes, to satellites and space stations. It must encircle its victims with its shroud in order to compress them however, so the larger the target, the longer it takes the Cosmic Shroud to unfurl and bind. If you're quick enough, you can escape it, but as yet nothing has successfully defeated this villain. Missiles and beams alike pass through it, and it can't be contained any more than a shadow can. If spotted, avoid at all costs.
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.
