Gotta go get some health-related stuff fixed - no worries, nothing life threatening or anything - but that’s why I haven’t been producing lately. My estimate is on 2 to 4 weeks, and then I’ll hopefully come back and rock the shit out of the rest of 2013. But who knows.
In the meantime, life has otherwise been good to me - I’m currently being showcased by FolioArt Agency, which could bring good things.
I’ve also done a couple of interviews recently. I’ll try to post those as soon as they’re available.
I’m also participating in Light Grey Art Lab’s Station Zero and Role Models shows (I’m a mage!), and I can’t wait to start working on those as soon as I’m able to generally look at things in a proper way.
In the meantime, keep on rocking, and I’ll catch up with you all later!
PS. If anyone has any advice for nice podcasts, please do tell! They don’t have to be art related. Brownie points if the hosts are funny and make you want to be their friend (as an example, I’m a fan of Baby Geniuses).
It’s that fun little exercise again. The top one is a sketch I did today. The bottom one was drawn in 2005, when I was 16.
I was very tempted to remove the horrible, faux-meaningful text in the old one, but I resisted the urge. Total transparency. If you’d like to, you can buy the new one as a print or phone case. Sans page separation, even though I actually kind of like how it looks.
Practice may not make perfect, but it definitely makes better.
I am now on Behance! Portfolio is still not totally set up, but I’ll just leisurely update it as I go.
Some asks I got recently, thought I’d put them out there in case anyone is interested.

The Bestiary That Could Be for Light Grey Art Lab’s Message in a Bottle show (January 2013)
I have a soft spot for really cheesy text, and an enduring love to cryptozoology, so this happened. The super lovely Becca Knight ended up purchasing it at the show.
It was a very indulgent project - it’s not something that would really fit my portfolio. So that, plus the fact that I didn’t have much time to do it, made me hesitate about posting it. But it was super fun to do, so who cares.
These are the friendly beasts you can learn about:
Not exactly the newest of news, but I keep forgetting to post it - I am now being represented by RocketSloth agency! They’re a pretty young, boutique agency based in Canada, and they’re the nicest. Be sure to like their Facebook page to be kept in the loop!
Kelly Bastow (moosekleenex) is also being represented by them, which is amazing because I’ve been following her work for years.
And I just love the sloth face logo. I do. So much.
First proper drawing in a while, finally. First I was too busy and away for a week. Then health things happened. Getting back on track.

…but the last two Calls For Art are absurd and completely blew it out of the water.
STATION ZERO - Science Fiction, Revisited - apply by May 10th
Get a classic Sci-Fi book and reimagine the cover, while including the type from the original.
ROLE MODELS, an RPG Self-Portrait Hall of Heroes - apply by May 15th
Create your own RPG character (based on yourself!) and, in addition to the show, it will be part of an actual playable card game. I am particularly excited about this one.
IS THIS THE REAL LIFE
IS IT JUST FANTASY
i-i don’t know
This is the project I worked in for a few really intense weeks in March/April. I’d worked with these guys doing storyboards, but this time I got to work in the actual final product, which was pretty cool!
I basically did all the characters you see - the animation and background were done by Jose Blay. Unfortunately many of my favourite frames had to be cut from the final version, but I quite like this one.
Different than what I usually do. Definitely a learning experience.
(also, they allowed the main character to basically kind of look like me, +bonus points)
The Kill List
Illustration done for the Geek-Art Game of Thrones art show! It opened in Paris today, at the Dernier Bar Avant la Fin du Mond. Obviously, I had to do Arya Stark, because come on, it’s Arya Stark.
There will be a very limited quantity of prints on sale on site, and eventually online if there are any left.
Haven’t been online at all the past few days, but I should be back next week!
