Marvelous Miyazaki

I've been catching up on my animated films.  This weekend's watching consisted of My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service!

The Kohaku River

I finally watched Spirited Away, and it did not disappoint.

Dream Team

Pokemon!!

Reese and Cyrus

Yeah no seriously, I've been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf way too much.

Dr. Orpheus

I've been watching a whole lot of Venture Brothers lately (:

Dorky Dogs Calendar!

It's finally begun! The Dorky Dogs Calendar project is now on Indiegogo!

This is a project featuring 6 Portland, Maine artists that share pride in their love for all things geek. We have created art for a 12 month 2014 Calendar of many different dog breeds as different characters.

All of the goal money for the Indiegogo project will be going towards funding our project. We will not be able to create the calendar without funding, so every penny counts! After the project is made, we will then be able to sell the calendars and donate all proceeds to the Animal Refuge League. Prints of any of the art will only be available through the rewards when you contribute!

Indiegogo is a site that still grants money earned, even if the goal is not reached.  This is why, just in case we don't reach our goal, we are not making the calendars available to purchase as a reward just yet.  We want to make sure all sales of the actual product go toward the ARL!

We hope you will help out if you can so we can make our small dream of helping our local animal shelter come true.

Here are my contributions for the project!  My third piece is not yet finished, but it may turn out to be my favorite!

Pokemon X and Y

Who's excited for the new Pokemon game?  I know I am!  Everyone likes the new fire starter type because it's a fox.  BUT LOOK HOW CUTE CHESPIN IS

My Little Saga: Lying is Magic

Someone made the awesome commission request of Saga characters as ponies.  What a fantastic idea!

I recently bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf (finally, amirite?)!  This may have been a big mistake, as my productivity level has decreased ever since.  However, I made these sweet paragon and renegade fabric designs, so at the very least I'm still technically drawing, right?

Let me know if you want my friend code!

Yesterday I also finished my first 5k event with Color Me Rad in Brunswick, Maine!  It was a great experience, and I'm proud of myself for participating.  I duct taped my knee brace and hit that pavement in my crappy sneakers and still managed to cross the finish line faster than I've ever tried to cover a 5k distance before!  Now I am sore as all heck, since it was the first I've attempted to run in 2 months, but it was worth it.  What a great way to start the end of my summer.  Next week is a laser tag excursion with some roller derby buddies!

Bob's Burgers

I took a break from drawing while watching Netflix to doodle this.  The show is really absurd, but I can't help but love how realistic the lessons learned are.  Because sometimes life doesn't work out for you, but life goes on and that's okay.

Chun Li and Black Canary

Here's a commission I did recently for a friend's friend.  I love Chun Li, and loved the Green Arrow/Black Canary series (it introduced me to Cliff Chiang), so this was really fun.  Everyone asked why I chose to use the Blanka/Brasil stage from Street Fighter, and my answer is always: because it is the best.
