Sketch Snippits

Body-less faces and face-less bodies.

Those days...

You know those moments when you are so zoned out that you don't realize that you put the laundry detergent bottle in the fridge? I was writing a note to a friend, and I started dropping in html tags. Uh... wait, what?

<strong>MY BRAINS!</strong>

The 'Blondie' illustration was just for fun, and then I thought, "Why not update my avatar as well?" Viola!

Is it SO obvious that I'm still watching Sailor Moon? Wheee!!

Supreme Thunder

Definitely still on a Sailor Moon kick. ;) Re-watching those episodes made me curious as to whether or not some of the old websites I used to spend hours on when I was 11 were still live or not. Most of them weren't. But www.sailorjupiter.com is! AND the site is undergoing an upgrade, so I volunteered to do some illustrations for the site. Tee hee! It's been a very, VERY long time since I've done anything in manga/anime styling, but it was fun to revisit! Here's the first:

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Weddings! Family! And babies! OH MY! Talk about one incredible non-stop month! The highlight:  my brother married his little bride on the 17th, and then my brother-in-law married his bride on the 24th. Slap in a ton of traveling, some family events, and a dash of people coming and going and you've got yourself quite the sandwich!

Which brings me to this fan-based paper art. I've been trying to work on this for the past 3 weeks, but between work and all of the hullabaloo I haven't been able to touch it. I finally got to really dig into it on Friday and Sunday, and viola! It's been about 15 years since I was first introduced to Sailor Moon, and I still enjoy the quirky antics of those sailor senshi.
