Bunnies! - Its Group Anthology time!

These bunnies are for the cover for an animal themed comic anthology I am making in my Comic Publishing class.  The anthology will include work from myself, the amazing, talented Olivia Johnson, and the fantastic, hilarious Rachel Topka!

Super excited for this one!  We are each making a letter for the cover.  Mine is the U in the title "FUR".  And then we are each making a pattern with an animal as well, hence the bunny patterns!  More progress later. :)  This one will include a whole new piece about bunnies, and my platypus comic as well!

More Circus!

Here's the trapeze artist, a group shot of the adults, and the first child version!

New Project! Circus Book!

So for this next assignment in Comic Publishing, I am doing a one of a kind handmade book of circus characters when they are little and then grown up, so here's the three I have done so far, and the rest will be getting drawn tomorrow!  The idea of this project is that we need to make a book which can only truly be read in the format we make it in, so I am making a book where each character is a layer that make up one of two group portraits which you can then change the order of the pages to view the characters in different ways.

Comics on a deadline... Looks like I'm back in school alright.

Thumbnails for a new comic for publishing class.  I really like it but it has to be done in a week!!  Hopefully I can pull this off!  I think I can!  I think I can!

The assignment is to make a 24 page comic book + the cover, so comic this week, book making next...  Here I go!

Internship!!

I got an intership!!!  And I'm oh so very excited about it!  It's at Tulip Design, which is a custom costume shop in St. Paul, mn, and it's a dream come true of an internship for me!  I'm hoping to be quite the little seamstress after it's all through!  And I've already learned a bunch!  

For the most part I'll be helping with simple things, but practice makes perfect!  Above is the Cinderella apron I have and the bottom half of the Ariel tail skirt I started!  I cannot wait to learn more! 

Miss Celeste - In progress

So today I drew Celeste here to use for my banners on my website and blog.  Eventually she will be walking among some flowers, but right now I am simply proud of her actually looking like a functional person.  I've been having a drawing block when it comes to poses lately, but hopefully this is a sign that I'm getting over it.  She was drawn and colored completely in Photoshop.

Her outfit was also really fun to make up!  I love all the billowy tails.  I kind of want to make it in real life, but I'll save that project for another day.

Onto sheep and stripes, and hopefully better things!

So I am re-branding myself again.  My first inspiration all came from the paper butterfly I made (which before acted as the banner and background for all my sites), but I am simply not really liking the colors anymore, so here I go!  I am hoping to make something that I feel better resembles me, so I picked a color palette of purples and pinks, and made it more fun and cute.  I also wanted to make sure I could redo my sites in a manner that looks more professional, so here's to hoping that works out!

Above is the tag which is going to be hooked on my products, once I have enough to sell (It'll be just the circle with a scalloped edge), and my new company name is "The Lacy Sheep."

I have already started on my website, so don't be too surprised when my blog and facebook get a fresh face as well!
