Shhhh!
Streaming for two hours at 11am PT (in 30 min!) over at https://piczel.tv/watch/itsnero as a part of the Digital Villainy Summit again this year! Join me and my pals Draekos and RoxannaRachnid as we draw counterparts to an earlier character design panel run by my partner.
(I’ll be recording this panel and offering the VOD right after it’s complete!)
Every Citrus Con I work on a special postcard to go out with orders that weekend, but this past year I only sold digital wares! I still printed some for conventions and such (yell at me for one if you see me!), but I wanted to make the most of the work I did and did something special: mini digital calendars in both desktop and phone ratios! You can download them and a hi res of this image here, or just go below the cut to nab one.
I was recently pinged to do the Pride edition cover of Real Change, a local magazine I’ve worked with before. They were looking for something to accompany their theme of resisting the corporatization of Pride here in Seattle, and if there’s one thing I love to draw more than dudes banging it’s a bunch of weird little guys.
The top is representations of the events climbing out of a book (since we have so many book events- the antique book fair, the newer art book fair, Shortrun, etc) and the second is the same idea but each one is slotted together like a jigsaw puzzle.
It might be difficult to parse at a tiny size, but the stuff I’ve included in both is:
-The center of the universe sign
-Farmers markets (veggies/fruits/plants/etc)
-Nude cyclist for the Solstice Fair
-Flags for Pride
-Puppet mascot from the puppet slam at Theater Off Jackson
-Bunraku tiger from Thistle Theater
-Books/zines (the top one includes Frank by Jim Woodring, local cartoonist)
-Hotdog from one of the Hump! covers
-Cameras in general for our multiple film festivals here
-Fremont Troll
-Queer Cowboy Show, also from TOJ
-Seattle Independent Bookstore Day
-Framed art for our multiple Art Walk events
-Big quilt from Folklife
Honestly I could’ve rattled off more weird things but not all of them really work in miniature.
They can both play nice when they really want to (and/or are tired).
Typical bodyguard duties.
