Last gasp of summer. 🖤 I really enjoyed drawing most of this. Practiced turning a happy accident into a working motif. #MonsterGirl #illustration #TransArt

I might more easily sell photo prints of the screen making process than the actual prints. The Five Star Stories inspired design. #WIP #silkscreen #FSS_jp #mecha #PhotoSky

UnArmored. Calling this a sketch because I’ll at least revisit the idea. Haven’t been drawing enough but wanted to do something new for #Pride #ArtSky #Illustration

Black and white illustration by Shade of an elf woman taking a selfie in a dressing room mirror. She is in a 3/4 zip halter, pyramid stud belt, capris, and platform heels. Her hair is the color of the Trans pride flag. Clothes hang on a hanger behind her, and discarded on the floor are armor elements: sword, shield, curias, chainmail

Thanks. I’m a huge fan of mk1! Dynamo Joe was the first mech I really fell for. I didn’t know it, but DJ was one of the early manga influenced comics. In reply to my tweenage fan letter full of terrible drawings, the ever magnanimous Doug Rice sent me some sketches. He seems like a super nice guy.

Getting transparencies printed for some news screens. I’m a little out of practice but looking forward to the hands-on mess of pulling prints. #Preview #WIP #ScreenPrinting #ArtSky #PrintMaking

That’s a beautiful shot of Eartha. The lighting reminds me of a latex Audrey drawing I did a bit ago, for fun.

I completely forgot about my vampire sketchbook. Just drew a few a day and it filled right up.

Two sketch books, one on top of another. The top is painted black and covered in tiny white drawings of vampires.

Working on a gorgon, so drew some snake ideas. I'll probably ink them up for fun.

3 sketches in pencil: a cooked snake, a spitting snake, a long wet forked tongue.

Snake tongues aren't wet like that. It's just good for showing motion and being creepy.

Wednesd4y’s party grew out of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I made a half dozen flyer variations for KKBB, over the years.

Wednesd4y’s Party flyer Original had the centered header at top but I realized the dimensions were wrong. The easiest fix was changing the logo. #goth #industrial #80sMusic #graphicDesign

A pile of black and white flyers. Xeroxed on cardstock and cut into individual flyers

a 4-up page with 4 copies of the same flyer, ready to be printed then cut into individual flyers. interior gutters are measured so cut flyers will have the same border all around

Early version of the flyer with centered headline. The dimensions were for standard color flyers, which is the wrong shape for 4-up cheap printing.
