I made this flapper paper doll for McSweeney's The Goods
That means it will be in the two papers that carry The Goods: The San Francisco Chronicle and the Chicago Tribune. If you wanna get this cool stuff in your own local paper, then you should call em up and tell em so!! Otherwise how will they know? Also, The Goods could use your support.
Paper dolls!!

update!
It's October! I bring you a spooky fairy flapper:
It's hard to update the old blog consistently when I'm drawing all the time but not for myself. I'm trying to draw more just for funsies but I tend to just go back to the same stuff over and over, like flappers. I could draw flappers til the sun goes down. Maybe I should take requests to mix it up a little. SUGGESTIONS??
I must note that it incredible that I have so many blog followers when I've been so awful at updating. Thanks all you followers!
In other news, I've had to shut down my etsy shop for good. It was becoming very time consuming, and although that's good because it means the shop was overall successful, it can become a big cluster f*$% when you have deadlines for multiple projects whizzing by and also a life. I find that I'm a much more peaceful individual when I'm not packaging orders and responding to e-mails from people asking where their stuff is, and traipsing off to the post office alllll the time.
The Twelve Dancing Princesses is due out in February! You can pre-order it on Amazon.com, but there's no image, so you still can't see what it looks like! Isn't that weird? Who would do that??

back from the dead + some weirdo drawings
Hey everybody! I'm back from my blog sabbatical. I'm working away on a stationary set for Chronicle books right now. It will have stickers! I haven't done much other drawing, but I did these to warm up a few days ago, and although they are friggin' weird drawings, I thought I should update with SOMETHING before you all forget my blog exists, so here they are.
Whilst foraging for mid-century fashion magazine scans, I ran across some photos from the 20's and 30's, which is one of my most favorite eras for fashion. Ladies were petite and robed in satin, and covered with flowers, and encouraged to be dainty (not that any of those qualities is present in these drawings, I'm just sayin').
I like how this one turned out.
Flickr is my favorite thing to search for images on. It is about 100x better than google, because people just scan images from books and such, and you get a lot of obscure stuff. These weirdo-weird drawings are me biting off some obscure French illustrator whose name I immediately forgot. The flower-crotch is all me, though.
I'm doing a guest lecture in Ethan Metzger's class at CalArts next week. If there are any current CalArts kids out there that want me to talk about something specific, now's the time to ask! I'm going to explain my process for doing digital paintings. I'm going to share all my secrets with you. I'm bringing my dog.
