Like I said last post, this is a holdover for when I'm in NY, which am currently really,sorta,kinda, or not enjoying (to be filled out at time of posting). __really_

Better Living Through Terrible Time Management

New comic! Sorry I've been really busy this past week, and posts will probably be low on new content too, I'll be traveling a lot, but I'm trying to get some buffer comics ready in order to make me seem less negligent.

distractable

Alrighty so I've got multiple comics on the backburner (including one about Halloween that I still intend to finish) But I didn't want ya'll thinking I was a utter lazypants (as I have also not scanned any of my photographic prints in ages) in the creative dept, so check it: I made a skirt this weekend. Out of a 3 dollar goodwill shirt.

after (do you see the pocket is still intact and functional?!)

 Do I get my craftybitch badge back now?

Also, if you are reading this today or Tuesday VOTE VOTE VOTE. For additional motivation, enjoy my voting and registration comic from a wee bit back.

Blue Window

This is a little commission piece I did for a place in town recently that I think turned out quite nice. Pretty fun to do, and oh yeah, best part, I get paid in clothes (seriously, if I could just work for records, clothes, and books/zines, I would). So if you're in Walla Walla, check them out!

negatives experiment #479

Okay, so there aren't 478 other posts on here about digital negative manipulation, but I feel the time I spend on it there might as well be, so this is one I did a little bit ago but felt was missing something, until I decided to try adding color in a very subtle way (yes VERY subtle, achieved via layering color gradients under the image at reduced opacity). And now I have a very nice desktop background that feels less cold-weather-despair (yes I am definitely of the stereotype of SoCal expats who want to shrivel up and die if it rains more than two days in a row...but I love snow, so go figure).

And yes, all of those who guessed "from LA+ferris wheel=that's of the Santa Monica Pier ferris wheel", you're right. Oh stereotypes.

this is a call/deserve part II

 

So this is one I really can't not add post script to. The whole dialogue is a word-for- word transcript of a phone conversation I had with my mom Saturday. I suppose it really feels maybe a bit confusing, and I could have prefaced it better, but that was that moment, from my end, so it seemed really natural to omit context and, in all but one case, my mom's side of the conversation. Also, if you're unfamiliar with the book featured here, BUY IT NOW, as it is fantastic. But please don't go asking for it to be signed just because she did that for some girl on the internet..besides, she's on a booktour right now so you can just meet her in person and ask politely.
