Now With Textiles
After a long hiatus, I'm back.
2016 sucked for many reasons, including sending our soul cat Marra back to the stars. Tshirt designs and a poster was all that got created for a while.
Then there was a happy accident that got my creative side going again, and I've been greedily learning ProCreate. The iPad Pro with Apple Pencil is now my favorite way to draw and ink and I'm really delighted with how well the results print out. There's also been the acquisition of a LeClerc Nilus 45" floor loom (dammit Tara) and I'm now weaving to use up all the yarn I'm spinning.
We also have added to the household a snow Bengal named Kohala, who will sho
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D help ill cat!
S.H.I.E.L.D. is very much a fictional organization (Thank you Mr. Steranko!), but it appeals to some very real people. And some of those people got started early on putting together a fan site for the new Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. show on ABC over the summer.

Now, last time I checked, the possession or lack thereof of specific organs is not an indicator of one's total capacity. We all know plenty of males who will never have kids. We also know plenty of females who will never have kids. But the production of kids really only
Working on cartooning....
Since I was a little kid cartooning was always my thing. I did cartoons on EVERYTHING. If you carefully scrape off the wallpaper in my room in the house I grew up in, I even drew cartoons all over the wall before we wallpapered. When I got back into art later, I focused (perhaps a bit too much) on realism. I'd been hunting online for a cartooning tutorial for some time and stumbled across Paris Christou and Toonbox Studios quite by accident.
These incredibly affordable and detail-rich tutorials were exactly what I was looking for! I can now sketch up cartoon characters that look solid very, very quickly and crank out my own variations j
