What Can't Be Erased

So, one of the reasons I've been quiet has been work on a short piece I'm submitting to an anthology this weekend. I have no hopes or expectations that I'll be accepted, but this is another of those "the experience of doing a piece around an existing theme" is worth the effort kinda things.

So I'm giving it a go. It's a bit from my final year in high school... so I had to get used to drawing myself in Grade 13 again... this was a grey marker toned warm up I did along the way...

QUIET WORK: Kid Koala’s Music To Draw To

So, international superstar DJ and comic artist Kid Koala just jammed for 5 hours at the Central Tavern to close out TCAF. Sadly - my hand gave out after 3... but not before the impromptu mini-set by Lederhosen Lucil (a friend of Koala's who has toured with him in the past).

She presented herself as a live model (and musician) - and encouraged those in attendance to take a stab at drawing her... so I did. Her comment as she passed sounded appreciative - hope she dug it [smirk].

A great ecclectic way to spend a night drawing - and nice to get out of the house for a change...

Wet Moon... too much awesomeness

Ross Campbell (I posted a drawing I did of his Shadow Eyes character a while back) is the writer/artist of the excellent Wet Moon series. He put out a call for fans of his book to submit pin-up style illustrations of his characters for the latest volume (5)... and I did a little work, but couldn't finish it before I left for New York... thereby missing the deadline... well, I didn't bother throwing the greyscale on (it could use it to add a little "oomph", I think)... but I decided I'd post this here ANYWAYS...

Clearly the inspiration for the freckles on my cat girl 2 days ago...

Someone else's... cat?

So, Harvey James posted some weird cat girl pictures, and sort of threw the challenge out to draw them as real girls... which I have now done... and it was a fun little project.
