Reworked a never-quite-done piece for the PhilaMOCA show June 15th. She is sufficiently disturbing now. (Taken with instagram)

OH MY GOODNESS.

This combines art galleries and foxes, two things I love dearly.  I can’t stand it!

Surveillance cameras observe a fox exploring the Tudor and Georgian rooms of the National Portrait Gallery at night.

FOX!!!!!

Reposting this illustration I did a little while back, because I’m in a KRAKEN kind of mood.

Well, when am I not in a Kraken mood, honestly.

Quick sketch study done for upcoming project.

Trouble for Hire.

No, I’m not talking about myself. Yes, I wish I’d thought of it for my own personal tagline.

I’m talking about one of the jobs I’ve been working on that I’ve been thinking about a lot, called TROUBLE FOR HIRE - written by Kevin Allen Jr., creator of accolade-winning games like Sweet Agatha [read more on Allen at his site].

Kevin contacted me a few months ago and pitched the game idea to me, and, I’ll be honest - I felt like it was completely out of my comfort zone of colorful, adorbzies fantasy and steampunk anachronism. So I said yes.

You know when Ernie Hudson says, “when someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES!”
…Don’t lie, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t seen Ghostbusters, you stop what you’re doing and you go watch it. It’s OK. I’ll wait.

Anyway, my inner Ernie Hudson shouted at me, “When someone gives you the opportunity to watch movies like “Deathproof” and “Vanishing Point” for work, you say YES!” So I obeyed. I found myself immersed in the glorious, horrible, grainy pastiche that is the “road movies” genre. I was behind the wheel. I was feeling that anxiety you get when you watch a well filmed car chase. I felt the filmy layer of dust on my brain that makes you want a shower after watching the exploitation and the cliches. Kurt Russell was wearing that eye patch for ME. For SCIENCE.

I’ve been map-making, and I have to say, I love doing it. Almost done…. (Taken with instagram)

Completed Apple Pie, with labels, Part 2. (Taken with instagram)

Because I don’t believe in hiding such a secret (or because I am perhaps evil), the recipe for this concoction can be found here, at my main blog.
