Just Desserts!

 Gallery show this Saturday evening in Los Angeles!
"Just Desserts" is being curated by my good friend Mary Hoffman, and will be held at Monkeyhouse Toys, in Los Angeles, CA.  It starts at 6pm, and bread pudding will be served!  Come on by to see some delectable art and chat with friends.
I'm contributing two pieces, "Rhubarb Pie", and "Pineapple Upside Down Hula"!
I love pineapples, but they taste best fresh.  Can't stand the canned stuff.  I want to go on vacation again so I can just eat pineapple allllll day.

Here's the flyer for the show, with time, place, and a full artist list.

Just because I drew tiki gods, here some old tiki stuff I animated a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away...

On a new project at work.  Really  nervous.  D:

WonderCon Goodies!

I'm going to my first WonderCon this coming weekend! Above is what will be at the table!
The "Billie the Unicorn" books will finally be available, apologies to everyone who has been waiting and emailing about when they will ship. If you pre-ordered, they should be shipping at the beginning of April. Sorry it's taken so long! XC

WonderCon info:
Immedium's booth, 220 (we're right next to Baby Tattoo Books' booth!)
I'll be there Friday till Sunday, with prints, buttons, and acrylic charm necklaces! If you want a signed book or a doodle, please come by. There will also be a few shirts for the curious!


Thank you again for everyone who has emailed me inquiring about Billie, and for everyone who has taken the time to review the book!
I'll have more info and dates about upcoming events next week. :D

Unicorns, gallery shows, and suprises OH MY!

Hey everybody! Gallery shows next weekend, one in Burbank, CA. The other one will be in Lincoln, NE!

The Burbank piece.

Billie and her cousins having a picnic with a very difficult Queen, and her Gear Grunt robot. This drawing is not part of the "Billie the Unicorn" book, but the Queen and one of her robot guards is.
They'll be in the "Women in Animation" gallery show. The flyer and list of girlie artists can be found HERE!

This Friday, March 4 · 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Gallery 839 @ The Animation Guild
1105 North Hollywood Way
Burbank, CA


The next two pieces are for "March of the Unicorns" at the Lichen art gallery, in Lincoln, Nebraska.




Billie and her bees will be there.
A local girl scout troupe will be displaying their hand made books at the gallery too. I really want to see those, wish I could go. It's such a great idea to get the local community involved in art. Hopefully there will be some photos online later. I don't have an artist list yet, but here is the info, and gallery website,

March of the Unicorns
March 4th–25th
The Lichen
2810 N. 48th St.

I got the final proof for "Billie the Unicorn" a few weeks ago. It will be hard bound, and the color came out really close to the original artwork. I've been giddy since then. I don't have an exact date when the books will be here, but they will definitely be at Wondercon in San Francisco March 31-April 3. I will be at the Immedium table, hopefully with a few extra goodies. Never been to San Francisco or Wondercon before, looking forward to adding a bunch of new art books to my collection!

Recent Youtube favorite! Why does Studio 4°C have to be so awesome? I was lucky and had dinner with one of the directors while in Tokyo. Interesting talk on the differences of which animation principles are taught in US schools vs Japan's. Seems like we start with sack and ball bounce animations, they focus on composition first.





Barfy composition.

The Unicorn Show is this coming Saturday, March 18th, 7-11pm, in Alhambra, CA. There are going to be alot of cool artsy people in it. There will be cookies and face painting so show up early if you want any of that. I'm going to have a piece in the show, along with these three post-its. They're Rhubarb, her little brother Smudge, and their country cousin, Billie.
Here's the $#itty intro to my senior college film. It has an ooneykorn in it. Why is the music off? This is old. Does it even matter? Oh www.youtube.com......
