So yeah. That happened.

I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness and couldn't do anything else because it was so awesome. This was at least my third time watching it.

Don't forget! Check out the kickstarter for my natural science comic anthology, Awesome Possum. We are close to funding at the time I'm writing this. It's so good.

Savages

Yay! A real comic! Took me long enough. I have a bunch, but getting them digitized is a problem. Especially with the gray was, as you can see.
Well, if you are in Seattle area, I hope you can come to the Burke museum tonight, June 24, because from 6 to 9, we will have our natural science illustration art show or my class. The guy on this pillow is part of my piece. That is a pillow that you can buy and have in your house. :O
But I think this is the best thing in my shop right now: a corgi iPhone case!

Rabid Squirrel

And I scare all the clients because I am right next to the door of the training room. In our old building, I was hidden away in a corner.

Awesome

Here's what I actually intended to post last Thursday. This might not seem super amazing, but this is the cover of the comic I did as part of my MFA application to the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont. The awesome part is, I got in! We are all moving to Vermont in August sometime. I hope to be able to keep up this comic. I don't plan to have a regular job while going to school. It is going to be a lot of work, but I think I should be able to do both.
Anyways, you can read the whole comic online.

Pigeon

Well, I have been working on images like this instead of my autobio comics. And it turns out I ran out of pre-scheduled comics last week. Whoops. This is actually sort of autobio. Abe and I saw these pigeons in downtown Seattle while waiting for the bus and there was all this colored popcorn around. Blue. Yellow. Red. Green. This particular drawing was a for homework, but I didn't think I spent enough time on it (like 4 hours) so I did another and it still only took 6 hours.

I have a cool post for Thursday, as long as I remember to do it. And as of June 4, all my homework for the Natural Science Illustration classes should be done. I also have some comics done but not scanned or anything. Like 5 from the last year or so. Sheesh, I have been so busy since I started school! Worth it.

Ink drops

This happened quite a while ago. I had actually forgotten about it. Jeez what a spaz. From being such a slacker. Fortunately, Abe was doing laundry at the time, so I just changed tops and put the dirty ones in the laundry. I think this all occurred in about 5 minutes.

Cintiq

I haven't used it a super lot, but I have used it. Here are some of the pieces I have done on my cintiq.

Then I learned about textures (which I get at http://www.cgtextures.com/), so I did these.

Hurt my back

This was a while ago. I'm better now, but it took about 2 months to get better. There were some rough days in there. After the muscle relaxants fixed the strained muscles, turns out I had a bulging disc. I had 6 physical therapy appointments and now it is almost completely better. Or maybe completely better. But now I am going to PT more because I did something to my shoulder. What is wrong with me?! Oh right. I spend 8 hours a day slouched over the computer at work for 7 years.

My First Bike

My first bike was super sweet. Well, I suppose this was a trike, but I sure loved it. Pink and purple and sparkly streamers. My next bike was a ten-speed mountain bike.

My Parents

Little portrait of my partners from about when I was born for the Beautiful Life Project.

Butterflies in my stomach

I hate having butterflies in my stomach.

Nermal

An accurate portrait of my cat, Nermal, based on this photo by Abe. This cat is just so nuts!

Family Tree

My family tree. Nothing more to say.

Sensitive Stomach

Ha. Vomit. So much Vomit. I haven't been as sick lately. Turns out I was probably just getting food poisoning from cooking old food. Green hamburger? Just cook it more! Amirite?! I did get sick eating mac and cheese at a restaurant lately. It was weird. Slow motion vomit. So I just sat in the bathroom throwing up and playing video games on my tablet. It was pretty funny. Sorry. I'm gross.

Batman

 I get a new pair of shoes and basically only wear those shoes for at least 2 months. So now I have Batgirl low-top Converse, and Batman hi-top converse. Between those two, I don't really need any other shoes do I? Though Converse does have a design your own shoes thing that I am dying to try. I now also have a Batman hoodie that has become my jacket because I apparently lost all the other actual jackets I own.
I can't remember if I posted this before, but it is a "family portrait" Amanda suggested at Drink and Draw right after Abe and I got our hair cut. Sorry if you have heard this story before. The end.

Guts

My guts!

Skipping

Abe is my boyfriend. that is us skipping and holding hands. Abe has a tendency to skip when happy. I think this is the only place I draw his legs so scary.

Ballooning

Doesn't flying around via balloon seem fun?

Power Girl

I read Bomb Squad and really enjoyed Power Girl.

Beach Bod

Saw a cute swimsuit.
