Oh, Usa

DISCLAIMER: Usa belongs to me, baby.

Another addition to the list of "subject matter I'm not totally done with playing around with and drawing yet": bunnies.

Well, okay, I technically drew this piece about a month or two ago but I only recently decided to recolor the backdrop so the black looks more stark and solid.

For those of you who have been following me on DeviantART and/or Twitter, remember my little offhand mentions about an upcoming book? Yeah, you're looking at the drawing that kick-started this idea. It all stemmed from my attempt to draw something "bubble goth-esque" but it ended up turning into something a little more Harajuku raver than I had anticipated (must have been due to the music I was listening to at the time).

Before deciding on a color scheme, I wanted to draw a full-body sketch of her outfit. I was faced with the temptation to draw this character standing in front of a portal in the ground with a floating digital sign flashing the word "WONDERLAND".

And so an idea was born.

SKETCHAVEMBER Day 13: Trixie Workin'

'Twas the 13th day of Sketchavember that I finally completed a sketch for CureMyBlackendHeart (of DeviantART) of her original character Trixie.

Okay, okay, I'll stop with the faux-Christmas narration (oh crap, am I finally getting desensitized by the ever-so-early bombardment of Christmas?!). The point is that I had a ton of fun drawing this mechanic from the future, complete with random splotches of motor oil.

Hope I did Trixie justice!

Fascinators: Original Sketch Cards

Okay, this original sketch card set "Fascinators" has been well in the making since last fall. I've always wanted to venture in that direction and overall, it was a fun experience drawing in such small perimeters. I will be selling these individual cards at Comix and Stories 2010 on August 29 at the Heritage Hall in Vancouver, British Columbia.
