L.A.Noir Art Show

Gonna be in an art show this weekend!


October 3rd and 4th
3-pm to 9 pm
1918 Leymoyne St. Los Angeles, 90026

I'm hoping to make it one of those nights to hang out!

Here is what you'll find there:



Mint Chip Girl
$50
Nice frame, and mounted on pretty paper!

Here's a better scan of the actual drawing.



These will be there too...originally they were $200 on my Etsy store, but you can get them for $150 each from the show! If they don't sell, I'll put 'em back on Etsy. These are priced higher because they were a pain in the ass to make! Each ink is delicately cut out and mounted on pretty printed paper, but you can't tell they were cut out by hand at all.



Weirdo Friends
This one's got cool zipatone detailing!

I want to keep this but I need money...

Coy Nymphette



Also, a few of my signed prints will be there for sale! Here's how they'd all look framed an on your wall!



That's all for now! Thanks everyone who said nice things about my storyboard drawings. I'll be putting up more soon for sure, as well as some comic stuff and other weird drawings. So come back later! ^o^

New Prints!

I finally got around to putting up some personal prints for sale on my Etsy store.


This could be your wall! Oh my goodness!

Also....





There's no more Skadi prints left! Thanks so much to everyone who bought one! There won't be any reprints for this poster. However, these sold better than I had originally expected, so there may be more Skadi prints in the future...but this was the last one featuring half naked Amazons!

I posted these a while ago, but I'll show them again...here's what's currently for sale (no limited editions this time):

Lovely Ye Ye Girls

This one is 11 x 14, which is nice and big, but not so big that I'll have to use a tube to ship it. For the most part the Skadi posters (in tubes) shipped ok, but a few got sent back cause the tubes would lose their tops and such, even though I taped the crap out of them. Anyhow, this one is sort of strange for a print, as it's a collection of super rough post-it drawings, but it's my favorite so I hope people will like it. Oh yeah, the girls are a mix of France Galls, Francoise Hardys, and Sylvie Vartans.

4 Girls Thinking

This one is 8.5 x 11. Four girls sit thinking deep thoughts.

I Will Bite You

This one is 8.5 x 11 as well. The image is flush all the way to the edges of the paper, with no white outline, as are the other ones.

Cloud Girl

This one is 8 x 10, which is a cute and smaller size. I used a pretty vintage dress pattern for the background.


Also, you can get all 4 for 10 dollars less than what it would be if you got them separately. That means 30 bucks instead of 40 bucks!



All the prints are on nice and sturdy matte cardstock. Each one comes signed and dated, with an original thank you doodle included.


Things are good right now. There is change in the air, and exciting things are happening (well, they're exciting for me anyway). I'm hoping I can get some nice drawings done soon to post up here, as well as some updates for the new projects I'm starting.

Thanks for coming around! Don't forget to click this link!
ETSY! ETSY! ETSY!

How I yearn for fun!

*** UPDATE!!!! MORE INKS FOR SALE AT ETSY!!!***

Also, I am shipping stuff out as fast as I can. There has been some issues with finding proper shipping supplies, and enough of them (Burbank has really been failing in this area). HOWEVER the majority of items have already been shipped, and the ones that aren't will be soon. So far everyone's been really patient, and I appreciate it! Also, I ran out of the free sketchbooks...so no more of those... U__U

OK back to the old post...


I think I'm gonna do more prints soon. The Skadi ones are nearly gone, and I think I'd like to try some smaller, more personal prints. What do you guys think of these two ideas?



This is kind of weird, but I like how it turned out! It's post-it doodles of France Gal, Sylvie Vartan, and Francoise Hardy, set up against the texture of the lamp in my living room. Those girls had a lot of different looks, so if you're curious as to who's who, it's like this:

Francoise France Sylvie Francoise
France France Francoise Sylvie
Francoise Sylvie Sylvie France
France Sylvie France Francoise

I can't decide which girl is most beautiful. I used to think France Gall, but now I think it's Francoise Hardy.

Here's another:



Sorry, I think this is maybe the 3rd time I've posted this drawing on my blog! >__<;
This time though, I've scanned a dress I loved in highschool and put it as a weird background. If I make this into a print to sell, I'd probably make it small...postcard size, or maybe 8 x 10. What do you guys think?


OH HEY!! Nearly all the Etsy orders have been shipped out now, and people have begun writing me to let me know that they've arrived. Some of the stuff might get moved about while shipping (especially the prints in the tubes), so don't forget that each one comes with an extra drawing, like these!



ALSO!!

Here are the inks that are for sale now...except for the Elf girls, I decided to keep them for sentimental reasons!



Another thing...tomorrow marks a whole year that Dumm Comics has been around, and is also the debut of our newest Dumm artist, David Gemmill!

A whole year of making comics seems pretty crazy to me. It's been difficult and fun and I get more motivated to continue every day. The only problem is that I want to do new comics besides Skadi, but with work there's no time. Ah well...if you like Skadi, then check it out this Wednesday, which starts our new 6 parter story. Exciting! Also, I'm working on a post about me and Luke's process that will go on the Skadi blog soon.

My hideous rough, and the end product!

It feels crappy not having new or fun stuff to post, but eventually I'll be less swamped and I'll go back to normal. I'm looking forward to it. T__T

Updates!

I'm really excited! Two weeks from now, May 6th, the first of me and Luke's new 6-part Skadi story goes up on Dumm Comics. Here's a quick sneak-peek:



The reason I'm excited is because while our last longer Skadi story (The Red Menace) was almost entirely Luke's idea, this new one is one of mine. I tried a lot of new things that I'm not very used to, but I hope you guys will enjoy it all the same! I'll be back in May to talk more about it!

ALSO!!!

Skadi prints are selling fast! Click here to see!



I was really sort of surprised to see how nice the prints came out, and how they were recieved...so I'm going to do a couple non-Skadi ones, and see if they sell.

SO!!! I need some opinions from people on what kind of things they would like to see printed up all purdy. I grabbed a few that I thought might look nice as prints, but I dunno really yet. What would you guys want to see made into prints?




P.S. I'm working on one print idea that is coming out pretty cool...I got the idea from Jesse, who suggested selling some post-it doodles a couple posts ago! I'll put it up when its done and see what other people think!
