Leekspin!

Just because it is in my head today, I figured it should be in yours too! It always leaves me wanting salad...

Illustrated Authors

Issue 6 of Cupcake magazine is out now, and it includes the polaroid illustrations that I posted about a while ago, as well as this article that I painted some little portraits and flowers for. I would have loved to have drawn Bret Easton Ellis and Dodie Smith as well, had I known they were included/had there been room. I loved "I Capture The Castle" as a child and have read "The Rules of Attraction" one two many times!

Anyways, I know you are a Charlotte Bronte fan, so I hope that I did her justice! I went a little crazy on the colour in these, wanting to put a spin on the black and white portraits that I had for reference. Trollope seems to have been the primary victim, gaining some blue in his beard. I haven't read any of his work, and I can't say that I know too much about him, but I feel like it suits him well!

Whistle while you work

Nice songs to listening to while driving, working, procrastinating (a full time job) or anytime, really! They also both happen to be from bands that start with the letter "T," so...10 points!

Everlasting Icicles

Here is a little collection in memory of Harry Potter/our childhood! It includes book covers and chapter art from various versions released around the world. So many great illustrations have been done in different styles for each location.  Many more can be seen here!

"I'm here because I was in the comic book."

I used to collect the "Josie and the Pussycats" comics, and watch the show all the time! I also have a great love for the 2001 movie and soundtrack, that only seems to grow stronger as I get older. Everyone is so quotable, and it doesn't help that I (not so) secretly covet their hair and wardrobe...
