 Maybe I'll color her up, maybe not.  This is from a big book of Wes Anderson stills that is a really fun reference. I loved Moonrise Kingdom.

Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad!

My parents have been married for 40 years!

I had so much fun making this graphic for their anniversary.  I haven't decided which background I like the best yet.  

Congratulations, I love you guys!

New artwork

Hi all!  I've had a very busy couple of weeks, but things are starting to get back to normal.  Thought I'd share a few sketches and works in progress:

A sketch of my little 3 year old pal, Beatrix. Bea likes to write me the most amazing letters, as dictated by her mother, my sweet & talented friend Erica.  She made me some wonderful valentines and a beautiful piece of embroidery, a proper thank you note was required. 

My parents teach 1st grade Religious Ed and I wanted to make some prayer cards for them, using my new laminator.  I am not quite happy with this one yet.  I think I have a mental block when drawing the faces of Mary or Jesus- nothing feels quite correct.  So this is a work in progress.

And finally, a very silly birthday card for one of my dearest friends, Sophia, my first ever friend and roommate at Parsons.   I wanted an early 90's Lisa Frank vibe, but it had to incorporate bananas in some way.  I drew an embarrassing amount of bananas before settlings on this one.
