The BET would be proud

A planner for those who are graphically organized...

Even when time needs to be stretched, rarely do I make planners. But this seemed like a cool idea; having your friends on facebook tag days they could hang out with you.

Anyways, this post of mostly about black people. Huzzah! As you can see in the picture, I am clearly of european decent. But, at the risk of coming off like an airheaded 15 year old desperately trying to vindicate herself about her choice of boyfriend, I love black people.

Also my nickname is Moisha. More on that later.

PRINCESSANDTHEFROGPRINCESSANDTHEFROGPRINCESSANDTHEFROG!

Yes, I am planning to see it tomorrow. I'm forcing my boyfriend to go early to get tickets so we can ensure a seat. We will beat the moms and kids and pretentious scene fags.

I have been stalking this movie since probably spring... I was so excited for a New Orleans, ambiguously black prince disney movie. Also Dr. Facilier's design and Keith David singing where enough to force me to change pants after watching this:



MAN! Wasn't that just smooth and beautiful! All hand drawn animation this time guys. I think Treasure Planet was the last time something like this was done, but it had it's 3D moments. But the whole black princess thing is enough to put this on a pedestal.

I already have the OST. I'm such a nerd...

As far as original matters go...


Ulysses and Magnus. Been wanting to draw something to this effect for awhile.

Because the hierarchy of Ulysses's family is tl;dr... Basically he's the youngest son in a long ass line of a broken household. He escaped while the getting out was good, but his older brother Magnus continues to battle on. Since the family is a lot of fucks ups and Dewey, who screwed a lot of stuff up, they are very close and when the opportunity to cross the map arrives, they take it.

Proud of this picture. Not so much the lurking birds. But It will most likely be colored and fixed.

I need to go to bed. I will surely give a full report of PATF tomorrow. Haha. Goodnight.

With respect for Tooth Paste For Dinner.

I need to get my tablet back from Alex. Not that I would use it or anything.
But I sort of miss using TegakiE once a month.

Got a horrible sort of mind spasm last night, drawing lately has been oddly forced, but I think that phase is coming to an end now that I have more stimulus to work with. Living in Rocklin California is living in stagnant water, living in a vacuum. Sacramento is only 15 minutes away, but the culture is out of the bubble.

Getting away from that, I have some blips from my sketch diary to show off. I've been trying to draw in it more consistently, but ever since I started working frequently in a sketchbook, I haven't needed it as much because I work out everything I need to in the sketch book. This volume is close to the end, and has been on-going since October 2008. I want to try and finish it by New Years, just because it's been in the back of my mind, nagging to be finished. I started the first one on New Years 2008 and finished it in 10 months





Feeling a little drowned

I frequent traveling as well, which is strange because I am relatively poor. But since I started this book, I have gone to New York, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and moved from Minnesota to California.

The San Francisco Excursion


A beach somewhere betwixt Alabama and Florida


School, me thinks?

A lot of people like poking that and I've gotten a lot of emotion out of it.
Now here's some bastards I'm going to color...


Click to make them grow...
Word scraps word scraps word scraps... Cosmo is always good for them. One of the recent issues had some big thrilling expose on Man tears. I have one more I want to use, I was originally going to throw Ulysses in there somewhere, but four was a crowd.


I actually drew torero pants without a reference. Fucking high fives!
I've been wanting to draw a half-n-half picture for awhile... one with him wearing the trousers but not the coat. I got a reference picture out of Vogue (Thank you Ordonez bros.)
Now with 100% more Klaxon


I haven't draw hands in what feels like a year.
A bad day will merit that.

I'm off to craft more holiday gifts out of flannel and blood. Until Next time...

The Living Funk

So I made a sketch blog.
It's weird, because if you follow me, I have an account on pretty much every networking site available... I use most of them too. But I wanted a sketch blog that wasn't a TegakiE, because I am far too neurotic to be ok with anything I post there for more than a day, and I'm horrid at using my Tablet.

In any case. This will be a mix of many things. Random sketch book pages, things I doodle on. Works in Progress. Random shit or things that inspire me... The list goes on.

In any case, I'll just post a few things I've been working on. Another aim of having this is to better explain my art or concepts behind said art. Feel free to ask questions, critique when necessary. Whatever.



The text in this picture I got from the kid who sits in front of me in Accounting. It reads, A gun shot is fired, cat's make love in the alley. The street lamp flickers. He frequents writing haiku's on Tiny slips of paper then throwing them at people in the room. I traded for one with Halloween Candy.



Our School's dance studio has a lady doing an arabesque painted on the wall. I drew Mozes in the same pose...This picture will be finished eventually...



Me and my boyfriend Alex. He is a passive drawer and he drew me a picture in return.
I always look so confused.



Anatomy Class. And an entertainment weekly from the 90's.



Originally there was going to be some sort of car thrashing into his back. But I haven't even attempted clothes yet.



In the month I have been in a relationship, the amount of Klaxon I have been drawing has SKYROCKETED.



Poorly Executed picture that I imagine being part of Second Lazarus, a division (Or Digression) from Naked Matador Stories. Matador looks too human, and Marvolus looks crazy ugly. Uglier then usual.

Bad Picture.



WIP I guess. For the Record, Sebastian Castella is my favorite Matador, just because Boy looks DAMN fine. I think I might alter this so that it will fit for my sketchbook assignment. I did it for the lulz during Thanksgiving Break.

Here's the Original:



:/



A lot of Marvolus is a Phineas Gage sort of fairy tale. I'll let you google that if you need to, but it's not a happy ending.



Perfume Samples!



I little present for my Snow Flamingo... This took a lot more math then I ever want to do again.



Injun I drew for a pencil test.



AND FINALLY. Sorry, first post bulk upload... a lot of this is crap from October...

A short blip from the next chapter of Naked Matador Stories: Manifest Destiny Which will be out by next weekend. It's been bumped back and forth, but I have a good many pages of it done so it WILL BE POSTED. Most likely the whole chapter as one. Basically it follows Stella leaving and her questioning Opus's maturity along the way. Opus never gets a break. It's sad.

In any case, keep watching. I hope to post every few days because as of late, I've been doodling on everything. If you want to see art that is actually FINISHED. Go to my deviant art (Listed in the links section) Not everything that is on here as a WIP or otherwise will make it to my deviant page. This is a lot more of a conversation then just a scrap book, so you will most likely get previews of what I'm posting here before they get to deviantart.

I'm just trying to appear more human. Mecca lecca high mecca hiney ho...



One more picture of Sebastian. UNF.
