a reunion

reunion

this is a panel of the next cartoon. it correlates with an in-real-life event that’s going on. over the summer, i studied bookbinding and printmaking in italy. tonight is an art show with our work. more importantly, it’s a reunion of sorts of all the kids who went on the trip. needless to say, i’m excited. and also, drawing violet again was super fun.

a swarthy snuggle bear.

valentines

i did this! 2012

originally, the above illustration was going to be for a valentines day card i was going to send out to some folks. i didn’t quite like it enough to commit it to print, but i like it enough to add to chunky puddles. because, i mean really, we all need swarthy snuggle bears in our life.

i didn’t end up liking it for a valentines card for fairly obvious reasons: it doesn’t read as a valentines day card. this occurred to me when a friend of mine showed me the assignments his class did for the same kind of idea (designing and illustrating a valentines day card.)

i fold easily under peer pressure, apparently.
