Wow August already? time goes so fast! anyway check out this awesome blog I just discovered, Urban Scarlet! Its not only a beautifully designed blog with lots of great content, there is an awesome little store too! I picked up some heart stickers and red and white paper straws (always wanted them, although I am not sure what to do with them yet) so check out the blog and the store. I loved the site so much I decided to become a sponsor!

Super Villain Pin Ups continued!
I got a suggestion from a lovely person on etsy to do a catwoman pin up, and I am so glad she suggested it. I love the way she turned out and I loved the challenge. She's definitely more saucy then my usual girls. I am really enjoying reinterpreting these characters in my own style and having fun with the costumes.

Super Villain Pin Ups
Greetings!
Ever since returning from Philadelphia comic con a few weeks ago, I have been super inspired. Saw a lot of great artists and bought some fabulous art and a got a very cool commission done by the Fraim Brothers!
I have tried my hand at comic book characters before, but this time I wanted to do a series. I was originally going to do 5 but as of now I only have 3 done that I absolutely love and they all happen to be female villains of DC comics. I would like to continue and finish up the series, but I have to be in the right frame of mind to do it. I am also working on my fruit girl series and of course my snapfish cards! So here is what I have so far for my super villain pin ups fan art.
And a Happy July 4th to everyone!

happy memorial day!
Happy almost memorial day! I whipped up this little summer drawing to celebrate the weather getting warm and summer finally arriving!
I've also been hard at work at adding more cards to my snapfish page, so check that out too! I have started adding coordinating cards to my assortment! So far I have a few matching thank you cards to go with some invitations I already had in my store. Going to add more coordinating sets based on the popularity of the ones I already have on hand :)
Hope you have a happy and safe memorial day!

Let them eat cupcakes
I've been on a bit of a roll with creating new artwork and feeling really inspired lately.
I'm going to ride this wave of inspiration til it fizzles out, which it inevitably will. Here is a new drawing I am really really proud of. I feel like I opened a door with stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying some new things, and I am happy with the results! I've had this idea of a girl with cupcake hair for a while, and decided that would be a cute idea for a Marie Antoinette inspired girl. so here she is! I am thinking she needs to be painted, but I guess we'll see if i could find time to start painting again. She's definitely going to be a Mother's Day gift for my dear Mom. She shares an affinity for pin ups and cartoony girls too!
I also submitted a drawing of Elektra I did for cornered blog. I did it really quickly and was surprised with the results. Check out the blog post by clicking the picture:
I also did Brooklyn Artists and Fleas with my friend Paigey, while it was a fun time and good exposure and experience, I don't think I would do that particular venue again. But i definitely want to do more craft fairs in the future, I just have to figure out which ones and where. Doing lots of research. I am also revamping my etsy page because I have some sweet merchandise that I made that I would like to sell. Will post about that in a separate entry soon!

Zatanna art and some updates
Hello all!
I recently completed a piece that I have been wanting to do for a long time. It's my first foray into drawing comic book characters, but I love this character so I wanted to draw her. It's a drawing of DC comics Zatanna. I was inspired by some beautiful posters at the Houdini: Art and Magic exhibit at The Jewish Museum in NYC about a month ago. I knew I wanted to do an old timey feeling magic or freak show poster, and also wanted to draw some fan art of DC comics Zatanna, so there you go. :)

So Fruity!
Happy April!
I have been busy working on lots of new art! I am participating in Girls Drawin Girls upcoming book, which i mentioned in the last post. The theme of the book is flora and fauna and I got apple. That drawing inspired me to work on a series of fruit themed pin ups! My loose inspiration was vintage fruit crate labels. I have four completed which I plan to sell as a print set. I love the way they turned out! Check em out! what do you think?
I am working on another series, which I don't want to talk about yet, but is different for me, but also a lot of fun.
