Science You Forgot


I made a book! I drew it and colored it and printed it and everything. It's only $5 over at http://scienceyouforgot.tumblr.com. It's a science refresher for your boring grown up brain. Remember all those cool illustrations in your childhood textbooks? It's like that, but with a scientific cocktail recipe and pop quiz drinking game at the end.

SPY Flyer


Rough sketch of what I wanted to do with the flyer.
It didn't really work out, though.


My first idea for the flyer was a two-faced thing. I thought drawing Graham and Dave separately and splicing them together on Photoshop would be better than drawing them as one creature, but when I put the two finished drawings together it didn't work. They look too similar and somehow the result was an beautiful half-bearded lady.

I really like the original drawings. They're a lot bigger than I usually go. Maybe some bumpers would want copies for Halloween masks. I'm just writing to fill up space now.

I colored them in Photoshop and finally decided on the final format. I had plans for backgrounds (I thought plaid and pinstripes) but I liked how the drawings stood out on the white background. With a flyer I think clarity is important, so I didn't want to muck it up with hand drawn lettering, either.

Boy Paper Doll


I put out the call on Twitter. Anyone who wanted a paper doll made of themselves need only to send me a picture of them in their underwear. Only DoomLazer was brave enough to accept this gift. Now you can print out him and Paper Doll Jeannette and pretend play like they're sending tweets to each other. Fun!

This is a collaboration between motivational speaker Graham Clark and myself. Kind of a rough version. I can do more if I get any feedback at all.

Thought it was time for a new paper doll. Boy am I aging.

This time accessories include my pink dinosaur bone necklace, solar system necklace, my iPhone, an empty bottle of no-brand 7-Eleven wine, a string cheese, my black flats, my Japanese ninja-toe style room shoes and my angry bunny.

My last paper dolls are from 2006 and 2007.

One small step for man...

I couldn't sleep and stayed up all night drawing this and the previous comic. I am obsessed with the idea. I must be really missing America right now. God bless this mess.

Three Hundred Posts


Jeannette Langmead Illustration Sketchblog
board game from a few years ago still works today (replace MySpace with Twitter)

For my 300th post I looked over all my old Sketchblog entries. Some of them I have no recollection of whatsoever. Some of them I realized I'm still trying to draw to this day. I realized I have tons of Halloween related drawings. Most of them not done in October. 2007 was my bloggiest year but I'm making a comeback in 2012.
Crushes and boredom will always induce creativity.
If you're interested:
I miss my rocks.
I used to paint goblins.
I used to paint messy.
I used to paint BIG.
I used to use my imagination.
My friend Liz as a snail.
I tried to draw the ASL alphabet but quit at around 'J'.
I should be grateful.
I haven't changed much.
A sad story I forgot.
I've drawn a lot of face.
Me & my mom's relationship has been awkward for a while.
I stand by this epitaph.
Too hard on myself.
Me in my underwear.
Every single night.

Instagrams

Jeannette Langmead dinosaur

Jeannette Langmead Michael Bacon BYE

Sometimes I take pictures of drawings I don't feel like scanning and fancy them up with an Instagram filter. I know some of you are morally opposed to this, but I think the world has bigger problems than faux photographer hipsters. Like people who "Like" those shitty e-cards on Facebook.

You can follow me on Instagram (it's an iPhone app, grandma) but I don't remember my username and my phone is all the way in front of me on my desk, so... just guess, it's probably Jeannetto or something.

This is even too sentimental for me. I gave up in the last panel. It's gross. I'm sorry. Feel bad for me. That's what I was going for maybe.

Tweeted in the morning and drawn throughout the day. I live a leisurely lifestyle (other than all the damn chores). And no, I dont really want a new boyfriend. But I am overwhelmed by all the chores I have to do by myself now.

Whipped up a drawing of Twitter friend @let_it_bea tonight. She's cool, fun and talented. Check out her band Patti Cake's EP The Prime Minister of Cool Chicks. I've been listening to the track Nobody Loves Me every morning since I downloaded it a month ago... as a kind of self affirmation.

Coping Mechanisms

Jeannette Langmead coping mechanisms comic

1. These are not going to get less depressing.
2. While drawing this realized how influenced I still am by Jim Beran, a comic artist I used to work for with my mom when I was a kid.
3. Comics dont have spell check. Leave it.

Gotta Keep 'em Separated

Offspring club comic Jeannette Langmead

There's a bar in Hiroshima where anyone can pick the CD (like a physical version of an iTunes song) and the ex-pat 20-something crowd tend to go for 90's alt rock.

Late Night Fantasies

Japan Escape Comic Jeannette Langmead

Drew this instead of sleeping, but I'm on vacation so it's OK.

I'm having trouble with finding a good pen I can erase over, and also keeping the lines black in Photoshop without distorting them. If anyone has any tips, let me know. I use Micron pens, usually. I should have probably used a stroke outline when filling in the darker colors, or hooked up my tablet and stop using the fill tool.

Stop Beard Painting Yourself

Graham Clark Stop Podcasting Yourself Beard Painting

Life goal achieved: I got a shout out on the Vancouver-based comedy podcast, Stop Podcasting Yourself. I painted a picture of co-host Graham Clark painting a picture with his beard of himself painting a picture with his beard. By now you may realize he does beard paintings. You can see them at beardpaintings.com. They're cute and all the money he gets from selling them goes to charity.

Click here to listen to the episode. It is by far their best yet. Merry Breakfast, everyone!
