This is a quick little placeholder post for the intro to my art blog- sketches, posters, ceramics and more.

A little about me: I'm a museum educator who also happens to be a formally trained illustrator and ceramicist. Generally as silly as a fruitcake (possibly due to all the fumes over the years) I am an utter dork, and most of what you'll find here are cartoons and ideas playing the humor of various fandoms.

Due to demand, I will begin to offer ceramics (like the ricebowls) and jewelry in an Esty shop within the next week or so. Pottery availability depends on the firing schedule of my studio, so expect to have them come out in batches.

If you're looking for my non-original fiction, you can find it on my AO3 account.

Drawn due to my own innate silliness on Twitter.

( And more twitter comicking behind the cut )

Because I forgot to post them earlier, the Doctor Who buttons from the con:
(and practice for a commission piece)

More pottery!

So I've been a bit busy lately preparing for preparing work for my booth at Anime Boston this year, where I'll be selling steampunk jewelry, buttons of the Doctor Who variety (and some political silliness as well), but more importantly, my pottery:

The ricebowls are going to range from $15-$25 dollars, probably, and half have built in chopstick rests (chopsticks included). All are high-fire stoneware, and the blue is a discontinued blue from my studio- it won't be available after this year. I have only a about 12-15 available this year, but we'll see how it goes.

( Some more shots of the bowls. )

So the Steampunk AU is progressing slowly but surely (Any help will be greatly appreciated HINTHINT), but just as I'm figuring out the lay of the land, these ne'er do wells show up. :p

Nobody knows who they are, but they always seem to show up with trouble in spades.

(As if I was going to write about a place with zeppelins and steam power and NOT have Rose and Fourteen show up.)

( More pictures under the cut (and more to be added later). Vaguely RPFy (although v.v. AU), so wander in at your own risk. )

I am offering character(s) portrait for auction at

My Thread

Any bid over $50 will get a free b&w practice sketch of the fandom of their choice.

( And a sketch to add something pretty to this post )

So as some people may know, I am hoping to share a table at Anime Boston this year.

During my extreme bout of food poisoning, I did have one interesting idea of a poster for The Satan's Pit/The Impossible Planet, and I started it tonight.

It's my first all digital work of this level of detail ever- which means there was no pencil sketch, nothing scanned in ahead of time.

Here's a close up of the Doctor:

( And the full picture WIP under the cut )

Here's the collection of the latest MSNBC chibis and doodles posted recently....

( Mermaids, Wolves, Adoptables, and more...Colored and pencil drawings )

Some Discworld doodles, drawn just before I started Unseen Academicals. Rather rough, and I'd thought I'd leave the blue-lines intact for you to see.

You saw the video, right? ....Well, this is what I suspect might happen Monday afternoon....

I know, it's not great, but my writin' crap.

( Jessica and James expression exercise, and tea with Keith and Rachel )

....Yeah, I got nothing. Except that purple non-photo pencils SUCK. Guess I'm going to buy more blues tomorrow.

This is why I shouldn't be on Twitter. People put cracky ideas in my head.

I so totally blame this on the bad make up people in DC,

sarken and

ivydoor, and the fact that I'm obviously sick and sudafed makes me loopy.

And NO,

ivydoor, I AM NOT MAKING HIM SPARKLE. HE COULD COME AND KILL ME IN MY SLEEP.

At least it wasn't werewolves...

I tried to include as many of the best bits as I could. If I had more time, I might have tried to put Bill Wolff, Kent Jones, Ana Marie Cox and Keith Olbermann in there, but for now, Rachel is the flag bearer.

And no, I don't think they leave the office that messy. Really.

I really should not be left alone during 8-10pm EST.

Apologies to Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman.

I'm not suggesting who would be whom if there was actually a crossover, but I will say this- I do not trust Keith with C-4.

Still working on about a dozen different coloring projects, but between talking to two of my drug dealers, (Yes, you,

ginamak and

ivydoor), and Rachel Maddow being sick this week (and myself suffering from dehydration- I is smart!), I pulled these two doodles out of my butt today.

Can you guess where Keith and Rachel's pose comes from? The font is a clue. (I now need to find a proper version of it if I wanna finish the image....)

( Also, Rockstar chibiJimmy, and Anne Boleyn for hezmanagirl's commission )

So, I got miffed at the mistakes in the sketch I posted in my last entry, so I went and partially redrew parts of the picture That seemed more off/

sarken pointed out Rachel's tendency to use barstools for desk chairs.

So, I ask, which one do you guys like better?

( Tell me in the comments if you prefer number one or number two, or if I should just give up and check myself into the loony bin )
