Cat-a-logue

So much to cover from comicon, but that will soon come. In the meantime, have a look at a made up cat magazine I just made.

Caticon

In preparation for Comicon, I have created a postcard and t-shirt design. I will show a picture of the t-shirt later here is the postcard design with the process. Fun, fun! If you are planning to go to Comicon this weekend in San Diego, say hi! I am looking forward to some great workshops, panels (Walking Dead, Bob's Burgers, Community, Nerdist, Mythbusters are among some favs) seeing friends, and meeting other artists. I am also preparing for a personal project just for fun, youarenowacat.com just to well, you know, draw cats! Hence, the message on the postcard about it. I started posting people as cats on reddit here are some cat pictures from that and other cats: https://youarenowacat.imgur.com/all/. If you have any ideas of famous people, key figures in history, or people you know please send requests of anyone you want to be catified. Anyway, cheers to an exciting weekend!!!!

"Dance of Hope" 6"x6" Ink and Watercolor Sketch

 The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, our Literary Ladies book club choice this month has inspired me to do a small sketch tonight. The book is about how flowers hold different meanings so I painted daffodils today, the flower of "hope" in my search for an art teaching job for next school year. I have been interviewing at different schools as I wait to hear back I am crossing my fingers, and so are my daffodils! Though I have not yet found a replacement printer/scanner I was not able to clearly scan, though I like the old look the photo provides. May these daffodils also give you luck for your future prospects this year!

Edit: I got the job! Hooray!
