As Hackett puts it, "Art is hard". Nobody wants caricatures these days and i am running out of money. i have this idea. I will let you know how it goes. Sometimes in life, you have to begin sentences with "Sometimes in life". Here's a pic of me at my stand. I look happy, but believe me--I am miserable.

New Illos



I just am currently working on an illustration for Barringer's Dead Bug Funeral Kit(see top left). I am glad to be working on this because it gives me a chance to tackling something important--how to draw ghosts. I started off covering the page in powdered graphite, the same stuff you would use for locks. Pure carbon. Then I erased sections and started drawing. I also experimented a lot with my wacom tablet on this one.
Below is a drawing created for my good friend Ramy Ramjet's Hair Salon, "Hair on Broadway". While i was drawing it, she kept saying "Make me prettier! Make me prettier!" I have a strong inclination to draw people ugly. Not sure why. Eventually, i did get the drawing to look just like her--prettiness and all.
