“She once killed seven men with a single shot.”
I came up with a story and a new character today for a one shot comic. I couldn’t be bothered with actually scanning in the page for you to see, so I snapped a pic of just on panel.
art is prostitution
Being an freelance illustrator you essentially have to sell yourself and your work. Sometimes it feels like you’re a prostitute, dealer, or car salesman pushing your wares and services on other people. I’m not a salesman, I just wanna draw.
Anyways… I tweaked one of my drawings to be used as a t-shirt design. It’s now up on Design By Humans and you can vote for it.
double moles
I love Lena Fujii and her dual moles. Look at how they’re placed, almost perfectly symetrical. Seriously, how does something like that happen? To fill you in, Lena Fujii is a japanese model mainly featured in ViVi, a fashion magazine in japan.
dapper
I’m a bit of an internet junkie; I’ll admit it. Really, without the internet, wifi, smartphones, laptops, social networking, blogs, etc…I don’t know what I’d do. I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of addiction.
I read a few blogs daily and I’m always finding new ones to read. Not too long ago I came across Danielle Meder’s blog FinalFashion.ca and I’ve been checking up on it periodically. This drawing’s based on a photo she posted on her blog that I thought would be fun to illustrate. Enjoy.
Also, I added Don’t Stop Dreaming, as a new print to my Etsy shop.
Update: Danielle posted on her blog about my illustration. You can see it here.
I want real seasons…
Scarves are so awesome, but unfortunately because it never gets that cold here, there’s no reason to really use one. I need to plan an escape to a place with real seasons. Until then, I’ll just have to continue drawing them.
Also the illustration collaboration I did a while back for Everywhere Oliver is up on the site now.

Here comes the rain
It’s pouring outside today in southern california. I prayed for rain, and it came. Too bad it will only last about a week….
edit: There seems to be a tornado warning in effect today. Looks like the storm might last a bit longer.
Also I did some blog cleanup. In an effort to bring you a better blog with more quality content I’ve made a few changes. There’s now an RSS feed, email subscription, and share button available on the sidebar.
Suit
Making a conscious effort to draw more guys today. Although it’s fun to draw women all the time, I have to stay sharp and well rounded. Enjoy.
fashion remix: Don’t Stop Dreaming
Yesterday I found some screentone patterns that I had downloaded a while ago to use in photoshop, so I decided to remix the sketch from the other day. Here’s the new screentone remix version. I thinking of doing a few more illustrations in a simialr style to this, I already have some ideas lined up. This reminds me of the the album artwork for the band Asian Kung Fu Generation. I’m also thinking about putting up a print for sale of this one on my Etsy shop. I’ll have to do a test print and see how it turns out. As usual, click for a larger version.
Update: Now listed and available as a print on Etsy.
