You know what? I’m sticking with this chin length mane for a while. Occasionally I miss having long hair, but this is so much easier to maintain. Namely because all I do is wash it and dye it. Fun fact: I draw exaggerated cowlicks at the front of the hairline on a lot of characters because look at mine!!!! Wispy bangs are a thing I could never ever do... #itme #thismyface #haircut #redhairdontcare #yourfaceinfluencesyourart #artistbehindtheart #profile #thisiswhatilooklikenow #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Last edition of “My Shirt Is Cooler Than Yours!” (….for now…). It was only my favorite design and it took TeePublic 4 tries to get it right, but they delivered. Two wrong-sized tees and a weirdly printed one later, I finally have a Gatchaman shirt!!! If you can hear screaming, that would be my inner 12-year-old. These are totally the Condor's colors. 😁 On another note, I have two accidental small women’s v-necks in the same Navy Blue color with this design, so if there are any petite Gatchafans following me who want one, message me! I’m only asking for you to cover shipping, and the shirts really do look fantastic. I also have a medium with the artwork on the stomach that is unflattering as hell, but if someone wants to use the art to make a pillow or whatever, you’re welcome to that too. Otherwise you can find this awesomeness on @teepublic via Matthew Parsons a.k.a. @fanboy30.

New profile picture! Because I’ve had short hair since the beginning of June and I’m way overdue for an update...I’ve been making attempts for a few weeks here, but nothing quite hit the mark. I figure that as an artist, I owe it to you people to mug for the camera as creatively as possible. No one wants to look at the same shot 400million times. P.S. Natural backlighting lends a nice angelic quality to photos. This technique is helpful for hiding successfully amongst the humans. #selfportrait #artistbehindtheart #thismyface #itme #selfiesunday #redhead #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

On today's episode of "My Shirt Is Cooler Than Yours," Ein!!! Found this awesomeness by the wonderful @meganlaraart on @teepublic. I actually picked up three of her designs. ❤️ Aaand as I am about to post this I'm realizing I could have brushed my hair before I took this but... it's early and I'm tired/lazy/don't care. Screw it. I exerted all my energy making a human face for the camera. 😃💀 #newtshirt #thatnewtshirtsmell #teepublic #tshirtaddict #cowboybebop #supportartists #artistssupportingartists #beautifulart #anime #corgi #meganlara #wearart #thismyface #youhavenoideahowharditwastosmile #tryingtohuman #sotired #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Day 7 of "My Shirt Is Cooler Than Yours!" I was saving this one for a fall day (cuz it's been in the mid/high 80's here 😶). One last design by Megan Lara on TeePublic.com. This has been on my wish list since she first released the design, but I was too broke to grab one. I really should own more Harry Potter shirts. ❤️ #newtshirt #thatnewtshirtsmell #teepublic #tshirtaddict #supportartists #artistssupportingartists #beautifulart #hermionegranger #artnouveau #witch #autumncolors #meganlara #wearart #thismyface #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

Day two of "My Shirt Is Cooler Than Yours (But My Sense of Humor Might Be Questionable)"! Found some twisted vintage gems by Steven Rhodes aka @bluekiosk on @teepublic. I honestly need to own everything in his shop. ❤️ Also, Toby was probably a jerk who had it coming. Don't feel bad for Toby. #newtshirt #thatnewtshirtsmell #teepublic #tshirtaddict #supportartists #retrotshirt #artistssupportingartists #vintagedesign #subtlehumor #humansacrifice #wearart #thismyface #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art

On today's episode of "My Shirt Is Cooler Than Yours", I found a tee that combines like four of my favorite things: The Le Chat Noir poster this is based off of, black cats, black paladins, and Voltron. 😍 This awesomeness is brought to you by jrberger80 on TeePublic. www.teepublic.com/user/jrberger #newtshirt #thatnewtshirtsmell #teepublic #tshirtaddict #supportartists #blackpaladin #blackcat #voltron #artistssupportingartists #wearart #thismyface #artistsoninstagram #samantha_johnson_art
