Madeline Ma'am

Here's a new illustration, Madeline Ma'am.  Playing with shape and line instead of mostly line.  Working the day job has forced a quickness in personal work, but it is nice doing more simple stuff.  I'd like to think that it is making me better at paying attention to shapes and color placement.  Anyway, lots of things in the works lately.  I am working on a southern-style wedding invitation suite and a fabric collection!  More details later.  

Also, Check out this giant Vogue mirror!  Scott got it for me as an early b-day present at the antique shop down the road.  It is rare when you find something while junking that sings to you.  This is staying with me forever.

 

St. Val at Dr. Sketchy's

Valentine's day was rockin, Scott sent me tulips and chocolate to work and I got as mushy as a woman reading Harlequin romances.  We also went to a petting zoo yesterday which was awesome.  It is pretty wicked feeding a bufffalo, they are like hairy dinosaurs.  Then V-day ended in a prohibition style St. Valentine's Massacre at Dr. Sketchy's.  It was in a loft in an industrial area of lower west side.  Pretty darn cool, Caterisano and I had fun.  I think we were the only two people who weren't sharing a bottle of whiskey, sadly, because of work.  Anyway, it is important to feed your creative critter (the one who sits on your shoulder and urges you to create) so he will visit you more often.  I have to feed him with a good dose of darkness and costumes, haha......enjoy!
