Nurture

Recently I created a series of drawings, "Nurture," for an art show at Holy Frijoles. They all portray cross-species nursing. I had mixed results with the gold marker, and with more time I would have used gold leaf instead. And with more time I would have redone the woman nursing the goat and used an entirely different marker, as this one was on its death bed and the paint in it leaked all over. Anywho, I'm unsure as to when the show at Holy Frijoles actually goes up, but it should be within the next few weeks.

Body Two

I finished this drawing the other day. If you're offended by tiny silver penises, shield your peepers.

Ich will mehr von alles

I traveled to Berlin last month to visit my sister. While there I played around with a little postcard project, and sent them to myself as souvenirs. Apparently my attempt at German on the backside of some of these was pretty terrible... apologies.

I'm thinking of turning this into a little side project. One of these days I plan to have an etsy site to sell some of my drawings and greeting cards, and perhaps I'll offer some cheap modified postcards as well that I'll send directly to whoever for 5 or 10 dollars, however much materials and a stamp costs. It's an idea I need to flesh out more, but it might be a fun way to sell some original drawings in a more casual, interactive, non-serious way.

sperm and dinosuar related greeting cards

I drew this little dude/dudette, and (s)he kinda looks like sperm, so I was thinking of turning the drawing idea into a "It's a Boy/Girl" greeting card. But first I need to get up the guts to dish out some cash to buy a new printer. In the meantime I've been trying to continue along the dinosaur greeting card theme with this guy:

Happy Draw a Dinosaur Day!
