Good Bye Hairs

BEST PHOTO EVER.
In lieu of comic-journal, have a photo.
I gots'd mah hairs cut.

Oh yeah, and I moved in with my parents to Bountiful, and my car immediately broke and needed 400 dollars of repair work, and a storm hit our yard and knocked a million apricots all over the ground and...

A Consuming Fire

My new sketchbook cover, some landscapes I sketched out on a recent excursion with Richard Hull and Dave McClellan, and some typography.

I really like typography (mostly inspired by Jake Wyatt and the way he writes in his sketchbooks), and I'm finally experimenting with it more. I'm starting to think I ought to hand-letter a comic to see how I like it. Because I think I'd like it.

The scripture with reference:
Heb. 12: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Other choices were:
Deut. 4: 24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
^ I really liked this one, but it was kinda long, and a lot of people misinterpret "jealous"

Acts 2: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
^ COOL but long, and also violent.

( Scripture taken from the KJV )

NOT COOL FRED

So I'm taking commissions through my DeviantArt account and this was MY FIRST ONE.

...

And as you can see... my only one.

"Get that wrench out of my face."

"It's not in your face it's in my hand."

"Get what's in your hand out of my face."

Needless to say I had A LOT MORE FUN doing this than that small illustration job I took a while ago.

Also got paid less but DEMS TH' BREAKS.

Well it's been a quiet week ...

No, actually, it hasn't. Not for the last few weeks, in fact.

Here's some comic journal recounting the events:

So I decided I wanted to start looking like a girl.

So this happened.

Thanks Kwisten.

July 24th! Pioneer Day!

AKA MORE FIREWORKS!

The day before my birthday.

Thanks guys.

If you give a butterfly a cabbage...

It will lay eggs on it that will hatch and eat it and then tun into more CABBAGE BUTTERFLIES!

The news from Lake Wobegone

Where all the women are strong...

So Stebar called me and asked, "D'ya wanna be painted up like a Na'vi!?"
To which I, of course, said YES.
... I'm still picking off the white-out dots. X3

Thank you, Stebar, for probably one of the best afternoons of this summer.

Model: me
Makeup: Stebar (go to her blog!)

Before!

After!

...

And slightly 'shopped. Hurf.

Don't know how I feel about this

Well. Looks like I'll be staying in Utah for a little while longer...

Cuz my parents are moving out here, and I'm moving in.

A lucky day!

I got paid today!
It is good day to be Illustrator!

Also, I've been doodling a lot in Tegaki-E lately, I really like the canvas size and it's convenient for quick doodles while I'm surfing. I always get random ideas while I'm doing stuff on the computer, and as many of you know, sitting there with a pad of paper or sketchbook often gets cumbersome. So I just tab over to a blank Tegaki-E entry and doodle something out.

Quite useful.

How else would you re-phrase "Gotta' catch 'em all!" to sound REALLY SQUARE?

So far we've got something along the lines of "It is imperative that you collect the set!"
MokéPOWN! (Brittany, am I spelling that right?)

Raise it up!

I didn't even think to post this here until Chelsea commented on it in an irrelevant post.

ILU Chelsea. X3

This is a character I designed about a year ago. It's my zodiac animal: I was born in the year of the fire-rabbit, during the hour of the snake, and I'm a Leo. I decided to stream-line the design more. Head over to Ninja Weasels where Rachel's done the same thing. Except hers is more awesome.

Lines taken from the song "Rabbit Heart" by Florence and the Machine. It's pretty much excellent. Recommended to me by Bali.

DERP.
