Spent a lovely afternoon at Karen's learning some interesting collage techniques. I haven't collaged in awhile so it was fun to destroy all these little things I've kept and create something new! I worked on this piece for about 20 minutes. Techniques include masking with tissue, netting, soaking, and frottage.

Ginger
This is a character I'm working on for my workshop Women in Animation's Pitch Night. I asked the workshop group to come up with a character and provide three sketches of them in different scenes.
This is Ginger, the stripper with a heart of gold. When she's not tantalizing men in alluring outfits, Ginger loves to annoy her cats by making them wear silly shirts. She's also a lover of ALL things Disney, and must IMMEDIATELY go out and see any new Disney movie, no matter how horrible it might be.

Thank You Mad Men & Playboy!
I've been waiting with bated breath for Mad Men to come back to AMC this Sunday. While dreaming of its return, I noticed a little announcement up on Mad Men's Facebook fan page that Playboy's entire website was going to be dedicated to all things of the 1960s and Mad Men for one day only...today! Fashion, cocktail recipes, interviews with the likes of Sammy Davis Jr., and all those lovely bunnies. So I got out my trusty sketchbook, and started perusing the covergirls from that era. Here's Miss May, March and November:

I Heart Tikis
I love my tikis! I've been steadily going through my collection and sketching each one. Each time I do so I find little amusing things I never noticed about them when they were just up on display. Each of them has such a personality, and I think when I pair them together it really shows. Might do a painting series with these in some way. Need to think it out...

True Blood
One of my guilty pleasures these days is watching HBO's True Blood. These were my first quick passes at Vampire Bill, Sam and my new favorite character (duh) Vampire Jessica in her naughty phase.
