Animal Spirit Guides

/

A while back I made some hanging prints called "Spirit Guides", that featured my favorite film/TV characters, like so:

The front lists the character, the back lists the pieces of that character I admire and look to for guidance:

 

For the next batch, I decided I wanted to do some animal ones, each highlighting a different personality aspect of that particular creature. And since I recently received word back that I'll be exhibiting at the superfun Spring Bada Bing Craft Show in Richmond, VA on April 15th (woo hoo!), I figured it was a good time to get cracking on some new stuff. I'll have the hanging versions of these critters available for sale there. In the meantime, here's a peek at the ones I've started. The finished ones I'll be posting as prints in my Etsy Store as I move along.

Go For the Eyes - Page 1

Here we go - Page 1 of my latest comic!

With this comic I'm going to try something new and actually leave my hand-lettering in. Normally I swap it out with a font that I created from my handwriting, which looks a little something like this:

It's a bold step for me! We'll see how long it lasts. Also, we'll see if I end up shading this one or not (I haven't decided yet, but I do tend to rely heavily on me grays. That's what we call it in my house. Me peeps, me grays. )

What do you guys think? Is it a keeper, or a little on the sloppy side?

Sneak Peek Week

/

Since I already mentioned in this post that I'll be releasing a new mini-comic soon (just in time for Stumptown, yippee!), I thought I should give you guys a sneak peek at it. This week, I'll be posting a page-a-day from Go For The Eyes, my latest autobio venture.

Since the book deals primarily with self-defense, feelings of inadequacy/weakness in threatening situations, and action stars in the media I've loved growing up, I'd like to invite everyone to post their own anecdotes relating to any of those topics. Ever taken karate? Ever found yourself in a situation that made your skin crawl, but weren't sure how to react? Ever had your nose almost broken by running into a teammate while doing sprints in volleyball? . . . Okay, maybe that last one doesn't really apply to this.

ANYWAY. If you've got stories, I wanna hear 'em! Let's all relish in our stories of FIGHTS.
