I am feeling better today. I probably shouldn’t have used a sharpie pen for this because it took forever to ink her hair and it smudges on this paper so I can’t erase any of my pencil lines. Tracy Chapman is on the cafe radio, and you can’t really ask for more than that. I think I’m going to go thrift shopping later for some clothes if the roads cooperate. This morning was crazy icy!

Feels
This looks more like ennui than the mix of sad and lonely that I feel today. But I tried.
To the beat of her own drummer
Cartoony little hippie. She looks totally unaware of the world and happy in the moment. Perhaps this is a celebration dance?
Amelia
I sketched this and never finished, but this is a character concept and possible love interest for Robin.
Robin, Revisited
A color version of Robin (done a while ago, admittedly) My markers are clearly drying up. :/ oops.
Thank you for lovin’ me!
“Pass! The cranberry sauce, we’re havin’ mashed potatoes! Thank you for lovin’ me! Thank you for bein’ there! The world is thankin’…we’re all thankin’ you!” This song from Bob’s burgers has been stuck in my head for days. This is my pie turkey. Happy thanksgiving! Two months later.
Brigadoon Logo
I’m a little wary of showing in-progress client work, but I am pretty excited by this one and I’d like to document it. This is just a concept, but so far, this is my favorite of the mess of sketches and ideas I have.
Meat is murder
Running on the treadmill last night, I started fantasizing about spies/assassins and other tough women in comics. I played through action scenes in my head and typical body types and costumes for ladies. (Ugh). I decided sneakers are better than boots or high heels for running (chasing/fleeing) purposes, but if I were a superhero, I wouldn’t wear a leather jacket or anything because I’m a vegetarian. That struck me as funny—an assassin/spy/whatever with no qualms …
Weird Sting
One of the photos we got from a client today reminded me of someone(s)…so I had some fun. My boss was crying with laughter.
