How How?

Fan art! Well, fan coloring. Matt Grigsby (http://grigsbyart.blogspot.com/) colored this sketchbook page of mine I posted way back on 5/30 under the post "and i'd still be stuck inside these bones...". I think it turned out pretty awesome! Go to his blog and check out his stuff! He can also be found here: http://www.robopocalypse.com/ (along with yours truly).

How how?
How have we come so far?
Unassuming, unnoticed.
Innocently, we waited for the right moments.
We came so close to failure,
Yet we reigned above the rest.
The success flowed around us
Like cool, sweet waters.
...And now it's only a vague memory.

I remember when I couldn't feel my legs and I thought I was going to die from the pain.

An idea I had for the upcoming Siren Nation show which is happening in October.
The theme is "The Journey"* and it is only for women.

If you read my blog and are interested in submitting work/or just learning about the shows email here: art@sirennation.org or go here: http://www.sirennation.org/

*Personal journeys or overall historical statements will take priority in "The Journey" theme.

I guess I'll keep looking...

What would I look like in the late 50s/early 60s?

Mad Men Yourself.

I do love that show, though I haven't seen much of it.

Nuts n' Bolts

Poster for my upcoming group show at Floating World Comics in Portland OR, on NW 5th and Couch. First Thursday in August.
We will have comics and original comic pages and other brik-a-brak for sale. Along with the Floating World inventory, which is amazing.

The poster artwork is not my own... but I wish it was.

some kind of innocence is measured out in years/ you don't know what it's like to listen to your fears

Went to "drawing in the park" with a few friends of mine.
Graphite sketches in my current sketchbook. A little watercolor.
One is based loosely on my friend B.T. Guess which one.

Re-addicted to The Beatles. I will always love them, but sometimes I don't really listen to them for a few months, then they are all I can think about for days at a time. Suddenly. Randomly.
Hey Bulldog.

Where the ocean breaks on purple strand, And the hurricane shakes the solid land

various sketches done in pencil, watercolor, Micron 08, and walnut ink.
Hellboy is the creation of Mike Mignola.
My version of Warrior Queen Boudicca is inspired by the book The Warrior Queens written by Antonia Fraser.


Poor little rich boy, all the couples have gone
You wish that they hadn’t, you don’t wanna be alone
But they wanna kiss and they got homes of their own
Poor little rich boy all the couples have gone, they’ve gone, they’ve gone

Poor little rich boy, all the world is okay
The water runs off your skin and down into the drain
You’re reading Fitzgerald, you’re reading Hemmingway
They’re both super smart and drinking in the cafés
[excerpts from Poor Little Rich Boy by Regina Spektor]
