Birthday and Anime Expo!

Today is my Mom's birthday!  She started watching DC Nation to catch the shorts, but got really into Blue Beetle's plot line on Young Justice instead.

(This is based on his Brave and the Bold design because I'm lazy.  He's adorable in that too, and might be the first super hero I've ever boarded?)

Anime Expo, at the Los Angeles convention center, this holiday weekend!

I have a few pages of art in this sketchbook with some talented friends!

Actually 8 artists contributed, not seven!  I think all of us work in animation, so stop by table f-24 to pick up a copy!

There is a little flip book of Banana Cat in there too!

If it becomes available online later, I'll post where, but no plans yet.

Forgot to mention I updated the zazzle store last month.  Billie mugs and a Space Unicorn poster!

Sketches and instagrams from the past few weeks.  It was over 100 degrees in Los Angeles this weekend.  Fun times.

My instagram name is potatofarmgirl, for those who've been asking.

Started playing Oracle of Seasons, but haven't had much time other than grabbing my sword.  

I've been listening to the preview tracks for the Balance and Ruin album from OC Remix.  Excited for the rest of the album to come out.  This and the new Studio Killers album have been on constant repeat.

Oh hohohoho.... make sure to pick up that sketchbook from Anime Expo....

Erased and screwed this page up, so this is all that exists.

His hat is fancy.

Snow White and other tales

Found a whole sketchbook from 2009 of unscanned art.  Most of it was for a Banana Cat pitch that never saw the light of day.  

Here's Henry the delivery boy.  He is afraid of dogs, it makes his job very hard!

Also a Harpy Gee scribble, was pitching it to another studio at the time, but never heard back.  So it was left unfinished.  Think I was getting ready for a trip to Tokyo then anyway.

Old sketch in a pile of papers

Annie from Skullgirls?! 

Skippy has been more adorable lately, I can't handle it.

Avenger Time Summer Time!

Thank you again for everyone who came out to Stuart's this past weekend or ordered a book online! Stuart Ng's bookstore is a must stop for anyone interested in art and illustration!

So "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes", or "Avenger's Heroes", or whatever it's called now started airing again. Here are some models I drew under the cut, for spoilers. I had the chance to draw a ton of models for season two. This is just the first of it.

Nerding out like usual

Comic KHAAANNN!!!


I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, floating around.

I was on a panel about trying to work in tv animation at the 2010 Anime Expo in Los Angeles. Here is a section of the panel:

(Sorry about the weird commercial, I don't know how to circumvent that. )
Crazy! Part 2 is up! :O

The people on the panel were Will Feng, Lori Lane, me, Jay Olivia, Valerie Fletcher, Alan Wan, Irineo Maramba, and George Krstic. It was alot of fun, and thank you to those who could make it. Met alot of nice people!

I went to Anime Expo...

...and there was a Cosplay Life drawing session my friends dragged me too. I was exhausted, but it ended up being alot of fun. I saw an old CSSSA friend there, and another classmate I hadn't seen in five years.
I wasn't planning on drawing at the con, and didn't bring the supplies I'm used to. These are all drawn in a tiny crappy sketchbook. Most of these guys held the poses better than the naked models I had drawn from years ago. Mad props to you crazy cosplayers, all that sewing must strengthen your stamina.



"Dude, your princess in another castle."





Naruto's colors are switched. And he is drawn poopy. The girl dressed as Hsien-ko is an old CSSSA roommate!



Polka Vocaloid?



"Do you liek autobots?"

Afterward we went to Mimi's Cafe for dinnar. We bought four "Gurren Lagann" suprise toy boxes, but ended up with three of the same toy! :( How does that happen? While I was putting mine together, the little boy from the table next to us started playing waiter. This pretty much summed up our conversation. He really liked the robots.
For more crazy Anime Expo figure drawing, go here.

P.S. It's true, Anime Expo weakens the immune system.
