Undies

Been spending my days working on a project that will soon be coming to an iPhone near you. If you like what's beneath her clothes, stay tuned for info on what's going on top.

Yukata

This is for a *secret* project I'm working on. Coming to an iPhone near you...

It's a yukata, and you'd be surprised how often you see these old-fashioned garmets wandering around Japan.

Naked People Should Not Say "Dude"

She knows me so well, yet we've never met. The most hilarious results in a Portrait Swap so far, with Shelly from Naked People Should Not Say "Dude" (her drawing of me below). Go look at Shelly's blog right now!

...and this is the comic Ive always wanted to make.

Check it out in the September issue of The Agenda, a Providence-based newspaper.

I cant believe I've been sitting in front of this glowing box for 365 days straight. On this occasion (and since it's my last post) Id like to show Im not completely selfish and give some thank-yous: First Id like to thank Liz, who has played a large roll in my post-college drawing career. She drags me out of the house and sticks markers in my hands. Also, she's taught me a quality piece need not take 20 hours to produce. And I'll swallow my pride and thank Illustration Friday, because Ive found some neat folk through it. But I wont thank God, because he didnt help at all.

And just kidding, it's not my last post.

Interesting discovery: My blog's one year anniversary falls on Friday the 13th. Excellent.

That's That

Dry Mouth

My third Portrait Swap. This one was between me and Steve. He is the one who brought you my idea for Illustration Friday Night.

Remember! When participating in a portrait swap via the internet there are a few things you should keep in mind when taking your reference photo.

1. Use strong directional lighting. It helps me see the planes of your mug. Natural daylight through a window works best. Get away from your computer screen, the blue glare does not count.
2. Get your whole head in the shot. Do not skim the top of your head or your chin.
3. Try to take high resolution photos and minimize the blurriness. If this means you have to get back on your meds to get rid of your shakes do it!
4. Do not send me nudes. Jesus.

Productivity at Peak

So the other day I was walking around in the town forest and I found a spot to stack some rocks. Stacking rocks is one of my top three favorite things to do. I feel like I made quite an impressive tower and I wanted to remember it. I didnt bring my digital camera and my cell phone isnt high tech enough to take pictures, so I sat for a while and sketched it out. Sketching is also one of my top three favorite things to do. The tower is probably a little taller than me, and Im pretty short.

This is my 30th IF.

I'm going on vacation. See ya next week suckahs!

I bought a Moleskine sketchbook so I could less obviously doodle at work. Here's one I whipped up between customers. The sooner I figure out what organic endives look like, the more drawing time I will aquire.

Romance is dead, long live romance!

In commemoration of Anna Nicole Smith's sudden death, and Illustration Friday's theme Crash, I designed an Anna memorial tattoo. Feel free to get it inked in the most intimate of places.

And some links of interest:

• Liz drew me on her blog!
• My friend Jon has just admitted to being the writer of this fine piece of Canadian blog, Chronicles of the 12th Floor.
• I also added a music player to my blog, you can find it in the right column. It has some songs I like on it.

This is the newest outfit for your Paper Doll Jeannette. I hope a few of you get the joke. Feel free to mix and match, and add the Paper Bag Mask. She could use it.
