Wondercon 2012!

She's alive!

I am really sorry that it has been so long between posts. 2012 is shaping up to be a huge year, and so far I have had very little time to come up for air. There are lots of big projects (both professional and personal) on the horizon, and I can't wait to share them all with you! While I can't promise weekly posts, I will certainly try to get artwork up more regularly.

This little piece is something that I will have with me at Wondercon this weekend! I had such a great time working on this tribute piece that I thought it would be fun to do another in the same vein to celebrate Wondercon's temporary move to Anaheim. If anyone is coming to the show, you can find me at Small Press table 108. I'm really looking forward to a fun weekend, so please stop and say hello!

Quickie Sketch and Character Design!

A Saturday evening sketch for everyone out there. I saw a woman wearing a similar coat a few months ago, and I loved it because the ruffles in the back reminded me of flower petals.

In other news: Yours truly has an interview up on the Character Design blog! Woohoo! You should go check it out if you have the chance. Be sure to read some of the other incredible interviews as well. I am humbled to be in such good company :)

I will try to get something up tomorrow to make my quota for the week. Ta ta for now!

Action Shots!

Caught in the act! Back in late July or early August, David was a bit sneaky and took some pictures of me while I was working. Cheeky monkey. Anyway, the paintings I am seen working on are a series of five watercolors featuring a pink-tailed, anemone-headed mermaid. My goal was to have between 20 and 30 of these little paintings (all of different mermaids) ready for APE, but the Hawaiian Gods and goddesses ended up taking priority. I have still have my list of different themed mermaids that I will get around to sometime in the near future, but for now I will just post these. I realized that I had only posted two of the five when I finished them, so now here are the rest. I hope you enjoy them! And I promise, promise, promise to post new artwork soon.


Oh - I have also posted these in the Etsy shop for anyone interested! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
