Embroidery is the new thang

Social sketch with Tiffany Patterson

I drew this in 2011 when I lived in Missoula as a literal starving artist. A semi homeless, clueless, in the moment, despite my health young adult stealing bagels for breakfast and feeding unhealthy relationships with everyone. I erased the details that I was hung up on and finished it as an art challenge. So much has changed.

Trying again, playing for keeps. No scanner likes watercolor. I'm trying to get back on the train of cramped hands and obsessive creative fixation.

I'm a person of fixed obsession. Digging past the core of things, finding every crack on the surface and every pit in the skin. I have passion and curiosity. I get stuck in the mire of searching. When something catches my interest I'm wholey absorbed. I've been in this hole now for a while, I'm trying to come up for air.

I always want to draw fan art but feel like I make the characters look dopey. I actually had fun with this and really like it. Thanks Judecca for breaking my dry spell. :) http://judecca.co.uk Read!

Art desk +1 With an art cameo of Rosemary Valero O'Connell

I read a how to talk to artists at conventions comic a while back and I have to admit I thought of it the whole time. I was buzzing with excitement, nerves and the high energy of so many passionate people. I was a happy wreck. Everyone was so nice and eager to talk, it was hard not to buy everything from everyone who even looked at me. But I managed to find some great loot! Can’t wait for more conventions and to start making my own comics.
