I only make really practical purchases. Leopard print hair extensions are something I need to function. Right?

Malcolm and I have a comic in the Observer! Web version updated at least every two weeks, hopefully more regularly as schoolwork settles down. I do the drawing, he does most of the writing. If you don’t get it, you’re probably reading it at about one level too shallow (try applying “sarcasm” filter … a lot of people seem to miss this and then conclude that we’re really into Fred Durst and zombies).


Lots of pretty commercial illustrations with lovely colorful compositions. For some reason some of these remind me of animism/Shinto but maybe that’s just because I’ve been studying it. I like this style lots, I find it very inspiring. The blend of a digital/traditional look is nice, and when someone can give selling out a personal touch, it doesn’t seem quite as sinful.

Basically, I want Koren Shadmi’s job.

Killing two birds: the venting bird and the practice-making-art bird (kind of).

(Vicky showed me this. Got to give credit where it’s due!)


Dave Devries takes children’s art and colors it realistically, and it is illin’. (Found via Reddit, could not resist posting.)


But it’s too bad I can’t fully scan an 11 x 17 comic page. Because I actually kind of like these, despite the shoddy content. (It was an assignment: 3 page autobiography. So mostly just a simple exercise to work out style kinks, I guess.)

Illustration for the Tufts Observer for articles that are pro- and anti- adderrall. I can’t even spell this freaking drug. This is oddly relevant to my life right now, as I am having a lot of difficulty focusing on my schoolwork and spent around a day wondering if I should start taking adderrall. The answer, by the way, was probz not.
