Hi y'all!  Long time no see. 

I pretty much took 2012 off to pursue offline art gigs and indulge in life.  It certainly affected how active I was online, but I don’t regret lazing about. The past 12 months was a year of false starts: five projects I contributed comics or art to have yet to see the light of day, and some of them probably never will.  That was pretty discouraging, but the lot of an artist, I suppose.

I’ve also been too bogged down with meaningless things lately.  I wish I could say it was something exciting and me and Brazilian hookers ‘n’ blow are never ever ever getting back together, but it’s really more pathetic stuff - see Fig. A.  I would say I’m trying to “Ann Perkins” it and date MYSELF right now except I am kinda seeing someone - POINT IS: I’m moving distractions out of the way.  Despite setbacks, it’s time to return to what really moves and drives me: art that I share with other people.  Really, that Fig. A led to some pretty amazing stories I could turn into more Picnic comics and before you know it, BAM, I’m the next Rick Worley.  Radical feminists coined the term “the personal is political”; for me it’s also the personal is artistic(al?) since my personal philosophies and experiences leech into my art in everything from autobio to how I shape my fictional characters.  This is my rationale for why I intertwine art updates on my Tumblr with all this TMI about what else I’ve been doing. Sorry I’m not sorry!

Bottom line: gonna get back to drawing more.  Just bought a new desktop pc to power my comeback!  Expect more frequent updates but same terrible record of not reading anyone else’s blog and inane rants on comics narrative structure.  Plus occasional naked butts.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

A finished image from a project I’ve been working on for a few months. That’s all I can say right now! :)

I barely know what to do with myself now that I have free time again! Eventually I will be posting about a cd cover and a book I’ve been working on for the past 3 months, when the projects actually come out.  In the meantime, here are some sketches I did in my free time.

Here is the directory so you can browse at your leisure.  Most of the most recent ones are NSFW due to nudity!  Sorry I’m not sorry.

I also started on a series of sketches which I’m thinking about turning into a comic.  It’s a lesbian pool party.  Not much story there. :p

Random extra sketch of a fetishy couple.

I seem to draw more men/women depending on what’s lacking in my life, it seems. :p

Sappho, by Charles-August Mengin. Oil on canvas, 1877

Sappho was a poet on the Isle of Lesbos.  Her poetry describes feelings of love for both women and men, even though she is frequently associated with exclusive female homosexuality.  Us humans tend to see things in very black and white terms.
