Post 109: HEROES

It's next week! AHH! I'm very behind in posting this, but hopefully if you're in the area, you'll stop by and say hi!  I will be at the booth Saturday and Sunday (Friday I reserved for seeing ALL OF THE AMAZING ARTISTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE!)

This show was astounding last year, I'm so excited to see how this one goes!

I will be offering commissions, and shirts you can order.

Post 108: Bath Time!

After spending a day in the attic, there's only one way to clean off all the insulation!

Post 107: Super Grumpy

Refreshing an old piece. I always liked this one, and since I sold the last copy, I figured I'd fix it up a bit before I ran a new print run!

Available the next time you see me at convention : )

Post 106: Weekend of Coffee

Sorry for the lack of photos, these are the only pieces I managed to snap shots of from this weekend. It was definitely speed drawing as the small things dressed as superheroes were eager for their art!

Post 105: COFFEE

THIS SATURDAY! 

Come see an over caffeinated Emily try to sketch and ink!

Post 104: Convention Recap

Post 103: Steel City Comic Con

See you there!

Post 102: Pushing Cute

More vomitous cuteness, inspired by Pushing Daisies. (Thank you to my sketch comic counterpart for putting up with these.)

Post 101: Sketch Plop

Agent Carter - I finally got caught up... oh my gosh amazing, such a well done mini-series. More like this, please?

Frozen - Still drawing them. NO SHAME.

Into the Woods - Saw the movie, eh, ok, thought it was well done, but mainly it just inspired older Jack and Red art.

Hawks - Didn't start out as them...but c'mon, the feathers.

Batgirl - Perusing the new series - love the art, very fun. Always more Canary, always.

Post 100: True Fear

Wicked Superbowl

In case you missed the explaination.

This weekend I'm involved in a story ballet, "Beyond Oz", combining movie "The Wizard of Oz" and the musical "Wicked". It also happens to fall on the weekend of the Superbowl, Seahawks vs. Patriots.  As I was laying in bed, with the songs running on infinite loop in my head, this is the idea that worked it's way through. The more I thought about it, the more little details seemed to align. Elphaba is saving the "animals", Glinda is being patriotic - I amuse myself.

The only thing that would have made it a perfect melding, is if the Detroit Lions could have been in instead of the Seahawks. But, I'm pretty sure ALL Lions fans feel that way. Every year.
