I think this may be my favorite illustration (as far as girls go) yet. She was conceived after a Tim Burton and Beats Antique marathon. Can you tell?
I’ve just added her, and a couple other new prints to the shop. For the rest of January, take 20% off your order by using coupon code “BIRTHDAYGIRL2012″.

This will be my largest illustration so far at 22×28″. I typically draw on 11×14 bristol board. This is about 2 hours in…
Can you believe I’ve never drawn a skull until this weekend? It was always one of those things that intimidated me for some reason. I’m very pleased with it!
I’m thinking about redoing the heart and brain so the entire series looks more consistent. I haνe one more skull (this one with more nerνe endings, yay.) to share soon.

P.S. Limited Edition prints of this piece are now aνailable in my shop, specially priced for Halloween at just $10.
Lately my mind has been covered in flora. I can’t get enough of these drawings. I’m working diligently at finding the perfect frames for this series. There are some empty spots on some Dallas walls that need filling.
These have been a delight to make! As soon as my shipment of glass arrives (hopefully next week), a small army of these beauties will be listed in my shop. Each black patina frame will contain a miniature, one-of-a-kind illustration by me! I’ll be offering these in at least two sizes. The one shown here is a bold piece at 2×2″.
This piece is especially meaningful to me. I drew it in honor of Valentina Grace, the beautiful daughter of a dear friend of mine.
I am now a proud member of the Behance Network. I especially adore the clean layout, and the freedom of posting projects that contain different media. I’m in the presence of SO many talented artists. It’s impossible not to feel inspired.
We weren’t exactly rich when I was growing up, but there was one thing my parents let me buy unlimited amounts of-books! I spent my formative years with my face buried in vintage anatomy textbooks, botany and nature picture books and glorious, dusty encyclopedias. I’ve always been fascinated to view an individual artist’s interpretation of the same seemingly inflexible subject matter…here is a dose of mine. I have a few more to show you very soon.
If you’d like to see me draw a particular organ or part of the body, I’d love to hear your ideas.
For the last few weeks, I have been suffering from severe creative block. This is unfortunate timing considering I’m trying to put together my official portfolio (for upcoming art shows), work on illustrating a limited edition run of cd’s for Stripmall Architecture, and come up with a concrete vision for my upcoming line of necklaces (totally different from the ones I’ve been offering!).
I was doodling tonight, trying to regain my mojo before I do irreversible damage on the pristine Stripmall albums. I think it’s coming back, slowly but surely. There is something so visceral and relaxing about drawing a thousand compacted little lines that grow more and more entangled in one another.
I’ll try not to be such a stranger.
