Sequins

I was watching the movie "Sequins". I tried to draw the actors. Oh well, it was fun to draw at least. The movie was pretty good. It's about motherhood and embroidery.
The depressed embroideress and her pregnant protege'.

A moody guy, who's moody for most of the movie. He likes to fish.

Happy Birthday poopoo face!!

Hope your day is filled with fireworks, and not hot dog water.

Ghost cat

At lunch, the discussion led to kitties who were in cased in retaining walls of homes and gardens. Somebody mentioned that this was once popular in Ireland, and the ghost cats would ward off evil spirits. I don't know if that's true, but a ghost cat would be an awesome pet!
Here are some lame comic con photos.
Here are some things my little brother instant messaged me. He asked me if this was kinda like comic con. Kinda....
Hee hee, this is funny.

K' bye.

ComIck Con nerd quest-o-thon 2006 super deluxo edition with sprinkles

Hmmmmm......yes........

I am going there with some fellow nerd girls. Maybe we shall see more of San Diego than just the convention center? Some people asked if I'm going to have anything new there. Not really. But if you have money to burn and are into that sort of thing, Stuart Ng's booth should have copies of sketchbooks "Banana Cat" and the really old shitty "Oxytocin" for sale. Nucleus' booth might have copies of the sketchbooks too, along with "Pirouette" and "Arrow Bird" prints. Sell Out R Me.
There is alot of stuff to see and do. On Saturday, there's this for those who are interested:
Sat. 7:00-9:00 The Batman Q&A, followed by Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo World Premiere Screening.

There are plans for a Martha Baxton auction. Martha is like the den mother for many Calarts animation grads, and her husband became ill recently. Some of the students have banded together to help raise some funds to try to make life a little easier for Martha and her husband. More up to date info here.

Just heard that Tria maybe discontinuing some of their marker colors. I couldn't find much info online about it, but www.artsuppliesonline.com mentions the line is being revamped, and that the new markers will not correspond to the Pantone matching system. Yippie. :C Guess Leo Hobaica was right. I need to start painting with gouache.

Monday, I went to Disneyland. They have an Asimo exhibit in Tomorrow Land, but my camera doesn't want to talk to my computer.(I'm stupid, I got it to work. Lame Disneyland photos here). Luckily, Youtube has a better video anyway. They are coming so close to jumping off the stage and strangling humans. Oh Asimo, you are so cute.



All nerds have a safe trip during your migration down south. Remember to bathe every day!!!!!

Crabs of the 80's unite!

Summer vacation starts Monday for meeeeeee...
This girl was for an invite for a lady back home that's throwing an 80's party. My mom called with the request for a blonde 80's girl, so I did this. I dunno why she has a chewed up piece of bubble gum in her hair. It's supposed to be a scrunchie. Whenever I think of the 80's, I think of "The Chipmunk Adventure". Anyone else have this problem?






Someday I want to visit Christmas Island. So I can visit my people. The crabs.


If you'd like to learn more about the Christmas crabs, track down the documentary "March of the Crabs". Most of the footage is from that video.

Fourth of July (is coming soon!)

Nobody blow themselves up with fireworks. 'Cause that is BAD!!!! Be safe and make sure your bbq'd meat is fully cooked, as to prevent Ecoli and other intestinal illness'.

Beast Boy's Patriotic Gerbils. Yay.

Clicky for hidden drawrings...

Exercise your freedom to watch wobbly, molecular-ly unstable kittens!! They could explode at any moment!

"Arrhhhhgghhheeoooo!!!"

Thanks for all the posts on the crappy pig/turtle drawing. I felt bad so I tried to make a dragon. Markers make me dizzy.
I have no idea what this post-it is about. I don't remember.

Sanrio says "Buy Hello Kitty. Buy our crap, children. Now."

Animator VS Animation!!

Found this making the rounds online via www.weebls-stuff.com. It's a flash short called "Animator vs Animation". It was created by a young lad named Alan Becker. Anyone who deals with Flash all day will probably find this funny. Brings back stuffy air memories of being stuck in the college computer lab for days. Start seeing things after awhile.
Here's a stinky obligatory sketch for Monday. Hooray.

Power in Numbers benefit gallery show

There is a benefit show for Hurrican Katrina this Saturday at Nucleus. There will be a ton of artists donating artwork, 6x4 in, each piece will be taken off the wall as it is sold. So show up early if there is something you want. There is sure to be some beautiful stuff on the walls. I wish I had more time to redo it. There's too much going on in this drawing. Poop.

Where: Gallery Nucleus

Eastern Washington Happy Time

There are quail in the orchard with little round babies. I didn't get a picture of them. Here are some photos of potato fields and apple orchards. I don't know how to make a tutorial about color, but just observing what's around you can help!
Lots of home.

Dadeee-O

I get to visit my family this weekend to celebrate my Dad's birthday. We are having a bbq. The drawing above is my Dad as a potato, he doesn't have a beard but he does have a mustache. It is difficult to draw a potato that doesn't look like a turd. This was printed on a post-card for invites. Yay for schmancy art school so I can make a post card for his B-day. Yay!!
Here's a funny video with a Daddy catipillar, and his baby.

I drink lots of tea. Evil catipillars...

Memorial day weekend

Princess Tutu sez "Have a good weekend and don't be a punk on the road!"

She was created by Ikuko Itoh and doesn't look this grotesque. Sorry Miss Itoh.
While researching this person, I found her most recent work has been on a "Dog Potato" show. This is now my favorite show although I haven't seen an actual episode yet. There is a flash game on the official site somewhere. It is intense! It's so hard getting all the stars in the sky while jumping off of dirt bumps.
Potato Dog's official website! Yay potato dog!! I luv you!! Jaigaimo-kun!

Old nonsense

Yellow highlighter.

Mr.Goodbar

This past week has been super busy for me for some reason. Maybe 'cause it's nice and sunny outside and I don't want to be in front of a computer at all. I'm working on lots of stuff I can't post online, but here is something stupid I made for my friend Abby. She likes chocolate, alot, and there are always bowls of candy out around at work. I made this real quick before hanging out with her on a Friday night. Here is something funny! Dumb Dinosaur!!

The Dancing Cats of Applesap

I'm charging my digital camera so I can take pictures of stuff, like markers. These wonky cats are just here until I try to do something not so wonky, or if I decide to post another video of a cute animal doing something horrible and evil.

The Dancing Cats of Applesap

Random Friday!!!

I might try to do a marker demo, but I really don't know what I'm doing. They're kinda like watercolors. In the meantime Here's a bunch of stupid!!!





Alternate Parappa opening here I heard this series wasn't very close to the game and didn't last long. Poo....

Good morning Sunshine......the Puppies say "Hello"!

Puppies are good. I miss my puppy. My parents say she is getting old, but still loves her frisbee. She has a frisbee addiction. We are not allowed to mention frisbees when she is present. Not even spell the word "frisbee". It causes a relapse, and she goes crazy! None of these drawings look like her. She's an Australian Shepard by the way.

Auction stuff

Pre-bidding for the Cartoon Network Fyn Stec benefit show starts Monday, 17th. Click on the banner to the right for more info and a gallery of work that will be auctioned. There's going to be a ton of crazy artsy stuff there. These evil kittens will be there, with their starring eyes.
Papillion Knight will be available too if anyone wants it.
A moment of zen. If you watch this video, you will suddenly want to paint your nails, eat ice cream, and dance in a field of flowers. Just a warning.

Papillon Knight

She's going to be for sale for a benefit art auction happenig in a couple of weeks. I'll post up more info next week, so it'll be easier for people to remember if they want to go. There are alot of artists/animators contributing work, for the meantime, go here to know what's going on and support a little boy and his family.

There is also a print of "Pirouette" available at Gallery Nucleus. I haven't seen what the print quality is like, but they usually do pretty good with their printing job. If anybody wants one, they are here.
One more thing I found. Scary Cinnamonroll commercial. This seems like it's stop motion of a stuffed animal.

Favoritest video game ever!

This was my most favorite video game in junior high. It's like a girlie Legend of Zelda, but the characters in it were just so cool. Plus, it was multi-player, so my little brother and I could play at the same time and figure out puzzles together. We named the characters after the Three Stooges. This trailer looks like it might be a remake, but I will probably get a DS now. I used to play videogames alot, but kinda stopped during college 'cause I didn't, and still don't, have the time.
Here's a really bad sketch I did real quick of the dragon that would fly you around the world in the old "Secret of Mana". His english name was pretty stupid, so I don't want to type it. His eyes are dumb looking here. I will try to draw a nicer drawing later.

Here are some links to more videos/commercials for the game, for those that are interested.
Children of Mana commercial one
Children of Mana commercial two
I would like to work on a Mana cartoon. I am a nerd.
