insta-life

Hey guys, I have a new painting to show you REAL SOON!  

In the mean time, did you know I'm on Instagram, making stylish photos appear in my iphone that I could never manage to produce with an actual camera and film?  My username is missbrigette, if you are of the Insta-persuasion yourself. 

Most pertinent to this blog, I often Instagram my works-in-progress, like so!


That one is almost done!  Just about a bazillion flowers left to paint, is all.







Ooooh yeah, there's a Beatles thing on its way, too.





 There's a lot of kitty-doggy pictures...



I can't help it.  I hang out with these two ding dongs all day and they are stinking cute.  


She was chasing a rainbow, you guys.



It's kind of handy, actually, because having all those neat filters reminds you to take pictures of places you go and things you see, with the incentive that you can make whatever it is appear up to 900% cooler than it actually was.  


But also I kind of think I go to a lot of cool places, too.  The Hollywood sign almost always looks fantastic.




Even freeways look cool through a vintage filter!!



Sometimes I just take pictures of stuff around my dusty old apartment.
Just kidding.  I take pictures of this apartment because I love this apartment. 


Also...I love my dog.  




My cat is not too bad, either.  










And sometimes I take pictures of my own fashionable choices, so I can remember them foreverrrrrr!





That horseshoe necklace broke!  Sad! 
See, it's working.  I'm remembering stuff.





It's hard to take a picture of the top of your own head.



An occasional picture of food.  Not too big on food pictures.  If food pictures is what you want, you've come to the wrong place.




Next time more art!

the book!

It's right HERE on Amazon! I illustrated this book last spring for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which is coming out pretty soon...

I thought I'd just share some pages, since it's been released into the world already. These don't have any text (although you can obviously spot where the text belongs), and also the book doesn't exactly look like this, since it's a fancy 3-D book that comes with fancy little 3-D glasses. The effect is actually pretty neat.



Drawing food is a tedious affair. It really forces you respect the little glinty grease bits on a pizza or the texture of scooped ice cream when you are required to duplicate it...



These aren't all the pages, they're just the best ones (as far as I'm concerned).



I watched "The Lady Vanishes" while doing this page. Now when I look at it I think about terribly upright English people on trains.



Yay! I bought a copy at Borders and it was right next to my buddy Christian's book on the rack. Small world!
