Ok, I should explain that I was absolutely in NO mood whatsoever to draw tonight but I did anyway, so yay for me! Actually, all I really felt like doing was coloring… inside the lines. Sometimes I really miss coloring books, or those awesome felt posters with mushrooms and unicorns you could buy at Walgreens for ten bucks and feel perfectly justified using only highlighters on the whole thing.
Hmmm, today was spent in a way I have not even considered spending in ages — being a complete girl. That’s right. I scheduled a haircut appointment. Then I went shopping. I bought boots and a pile of clothes. I took myself out to dinner. I even perused art magazines while drinking coffee. Then I came home and watched a movie… about the Holocaust! Yeah, that was unexpected. Actually, it was quite good, called “The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler”, with Anna Paquin. I think it was made as a Hallmark TV movie but it got nominated for some awards… click here to read more about it on IMDb.
Well, off to bed.

New print! Life on Mars
Hi, I’m back from a few days’ absence, I’ve been busy drawing and printing! On Thursday, I finished this five-color screenprint and I’m finally posting it. I should mention that this whole thing started as a small drawing I was going to do for a friend who recently opened a new vegan restaurant in Logan Square, called “Life on Mars”. I got really inspired by the name and theme of the restaurant, so the small drawing turned into a big drawing turned into… a five-color screen print! Yay :) He was really happy to receive one, and it will go up in the restaurant along with some other awesome prints people are making for the occasion (the bonus of knowing a bunch of printers!) So here’s the print, featuring pretty much life on Mars… also, the ink and pencil versions.
This print is approx. 14.5″ x 10.25″, full bleed, on 100# cream French Cover, in an edition of 43. There’s some nice halftone patterns going on as well, I included a detail.

This print is now available for purchase.

1.9 quick monster doodle
I was busy monitoring all day at Spudnik Press. Then I watched a movie and pretty much vegged out. YEP. So this doodle’s all I got (truth is, often I prefer these things to a “finished drawing”… whatever the hell that means)
