Three words to describe the musical that inspired her illustration for the zine:

Love, Dreams, Poetry

Can you guess the title?

Kris ( @kriscynical ) has some seriously unforgettable art. With a sharp eye for details, each image will keep you staring for hours! No joke, check out every sequin and fold on those awesome skate costumes.

And the rich colors in this artwork just put everything over the top. You’ll instantly recognize Kris when you see such love of color and saturation. Did I also mention there’s some very spicy nsfw every now and then?

Kris has been drawing for over 20 years (wow!) and takes a very intuitive approach to choose color and composition.

I almost always have a pretty solid mental image of the piece I want to produce and what colors/lighting/mood I want from the start, but if there's something I'm unsure about I'll do a rough color study of the piece before starting the finished product to get everything figured out.

Favorite things to draw...Victuuri together! (us all, Kris, us all).

I love their sweet, healthy, wholesome dynamic so much in how absolutely devoted they are and how they unabashedly care for each other so deeply and want to support each other even if it means making personal sacrifices in order to do so; all those deep emotions are so fun to play with through subtle body language/facial expression, and I love conveying emotion in my work. 

For a single character, I'd have to say Yuuri because I relate to him a lot for various reasons and the complexity of his character makes for even more fodder when it comes to visually conveying his inner struggles with anxiety and self-worth.

If you want to learn to draw muscles you need to pick up "Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist" by Stephen Rogers Peck. It's my anatomy Bible. It was the textbook for an advanced figure anatomy class I took my senior year of college and it's been within arm's reach of my work space ever since, over a decade at this point. It's cheap, too, which is always a plus!

I saw John perform Iris live at a music festival with just his guitar (I don't know where the rest of the band was) and he forgot the fucking lyrics. In the middle of the song. Then he said "This is why you need a band, because you CAN'T REMEMBER YOUR OWN FUCKING LYRICS." He forgot the festival was being broadcast live on a local radio station.

In filk, we call that Frank Hayes disease (lovingly) because Frank does this all the time. Like, he starts singing and those who’ve been around a while pull out their own copies of his stuff and just quietly slip the lyric sheet up there when he starts doing the thing.

Thanks :)

I am one of the world’s biggest wusses when it comes to needles and acupuncture doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The needles are so thin (like a strand of hair) that you literally do not feel them go in. They’re encased in a plastic tube that is pressed against your skin, then the therapist lightly taps the end of the tube to insert the needle. Your skin is so distracted by the feel of the tube that it doesn’t feel the needle stick. I highly recommend it!

Oh lol by poking I didn’t mean I needed to avoid needles. I don’t love them or anything, but I’m fine with shots and needles and the like.

By poking I just meant with cryotherapy I can avoid people touching me period.
