If You've Been Wondering How & Where You Can Pick Up A Copy Of One Of My Zines, Comics Et/ou Loot Bags,

Reblogging my own post because GOBLIN. THE GOBLIN. IS IN BALTIMORE. TOnight. And I'm gonna see them and wear my own dumb shirt and it's gonna be the strangest, most rad time, and everyone? go ahead. be jealous.

"Suzy, do you know anything about…witches?"

Suspiria, a masterpiece by Dario Argento. This trippy, amazingly surreal horror film is the subject of my newest tshirt design for Pizza Party Printing's upcoming movie night at the Ottobar. They'll be showing not only Suspiria, but the 1989 horror, The Church (paired with a fucking metal shirt by Jimmy Giegerich), so if you’re in Baltimore at the end of the month, be there! Immerse yourself in blood and beer (and the music of the one, the only Goblin). It’s gonna be spooky.

The Suspiria shirt is up for sale now at Pizza Party! Pick one up while you can!

Thank you, Catherine Coulson, for giving us such a beloved character. You will be missed.

Damn Fine Coffee! A Twin Peaks fan zine - Kickstarter!

Hey all! My Twin Peaks-themed anthology zine "Damn Fine Coffee!" just launched its funding project on Kickstarter! This is your chance to place pre-orders on the zine and also to snatch up screen prints, original drawings, AND paintings of Twin Peaks characters. If you're excited about the book, I hope you can contribute and help make it happen, or just take a minute to spread the word! Every little bit helps and I'm super thankful for whatever you can do or give. Seriously. 

You can read more about the zine and see a few fantastic pieces by some of its fantastic contributors here. 

Visit the Kickstarter project and claim a copy of the zine (which has free shipping for a limited time!) right here!

After all, in the words of Agent Cooper himself:

Hi Andrea, I was in Greg's Monday class this past semester and I found your Tumblr by chance. I didn't know you had graduated MICA already, I assumed you were still a student because you were Greg's TA. It's so cool that you've done illustrations for NY Times! How did you get such a big client like that? I guess I'm just kinda gushing now. I guess I'll leave this message by saying I really admire your work =]

Hey miss ma'am! Haha I'm...glad? you thought I was a student. But no, that youthful glow and non-jaded outlook on the bitterness of life left me when I graduated MICA....Counterpoint: did I mention how I think Sailor Moon is super fun? And did you see? Kali turned me into a sailor scout! wee!

Anyhow, I actually got contacted by the NY Times rather than the other way around, which was (is) a hugely exciting thing, but probably not to be relied on as a typical occurrence. My best recommendation is to do what I do too little of and promote yourself as much as you can. Be friendly, make contacts, and send your promos out to all the people you want to work with. But most importantly, just keep making work, even if it's just for you. Try not to get seduced by trends, always aim for making yourself proud, and put some soul into your work (by loving what you do)! You never know who'll notice you. 

Thanks so much, Shirley! Best of luck!!

Wicked Lady for Jenn Woodall's Moon Power zine. Always liked this bitter angsty babe.

Bat boy!

This little cutie was the subject of another gouache demo given to illustration students at MICA. He's the finish of this work-in-progress shot.

I love him...

Hi! I was looking through your blogspot and I saw your post on your brother getting you Tintin matches from China? I was wondering where he got them because I'm a huge Tintin fan and I live in China and I want to have them too lol. sorry if this was a little creepy

Hi! Yes. these guys:

I had to ask him and then wait around 13 hrs because he's in Taiwan now! Here's what he said:

"It's somewhere in/near Beihai (3rd tone) park in Beijing but I don't remember exactly where. It's down one of the many backstreets and if you see a store that looks like the only product it sells are old coke bottles (seriously, it just had bunch of pictures of old coke bottles in the windows), then you are close."

I don't know what "3rd tone" refers to, but maybe you do! Good luck!
