The Original HBIC.

Joan Crawford. The ORIGINAL head bitch in charge.

I drew this after watching Mommie Dearest the other night. And I finished it up lastnight while watching a documentary-movie on John Lennon.

I still need to go in and use some acrylic paint to accent the buttons on her cuffs, as well as the WIRE HANGER!

Pen Pressure

Playing around again. All photoshop. I REALLY want the font Bookman Swash. It's a retro classic.

And I love drawing these fun ampersands.

Work In Progress.

A work in progress. I started this before work today, and I need to finish the penciling. I wanted her holding a wire hanger, but I think her hand is going to be on her hip instead.

If you can't tell, it's Joan Crawford. OR Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford from the movie Mommie Dearest.

I plan on inking it and then coloring it with watercolor. Very simple. Much like the flapper card, and my "Then and Now" illustrations.

Digital Sketch

I should start keeping my digital sketches. I usually just delete them or close with out saving. Shame.

Art Dump

Did some arting this weekend. I have 2 ATCs and 1 sketchbook spread to share today.

Materials used: Brush pens, acrylic paint, watercolor. Illustration board and Moleskine Sketchbook.

New Munny!

It's Wonder Woman.

"Stock art website with stolen art suing original artist"

I found this on Digg, and felt that I have to repost it here. It's something that probably hits close to home for a lot of artists and graphic designers.

Have you ever created something, and put it on your website, or DeviantART account, or your Facebook for the world to see? Only to find that a week later it's reposted elsewhere with no credit back to you?

Now imagine you are a successful graphic designer and the many logos that you have created for established companies and corporations have been copied and posted else where. The kicker? A stock art site stole them, offer them to other people for a price, and then turn around and slap you with a lawsuit claiming that you, the artist, stole their work.

Well this is just the thing that happened to Jon Engle.

Ball Jar

Still drawing with the brush pen. Still inspired by Lucy Knisley.

Brush pen in my moleskine. Yes, i realize I left out the "s" in "holds".
