St. Valentine and Me

For the Valentine you sext.

Even if I spend most nights curled up with Netflix and a sketchbook, I love Valentine's Day.

I love the cards, the candy, the despicable capitalist commercialization of love– I love all of it.

And since I don't have a date this year, I made Valentines to suit a few different tastes:

For your respectfully kinky Valentine.

For my punny Valentine.

If you stare long enough

Everything just starts to look like galaxies after a while.

Bad Memories

I sketched out some bad memories a few weeks ago.

Merry Krampus! And a happier New Year.

It's New Year's Eve! The perfect time to post your Christmas card and make some resolutions, I guess. I've got the same resolution as always: take better care of myself, draw more, work harder.

2014 falls dangerously close to being in the negative column for me; my sweet little bear of a dog died, and I just spent Christmas visiting family in the hospital. World news is all plane crashes and innocent people being systematically murdered. Yet, here we are. Let's resolve to take care of each other and make this planet a little better, ok?

And like your friends' selfies on Instagram. Every little bit helps.

Cheers, everybody. I love you.

Elvis Cat

I drew this little Elvis Cat for my friend and co-worker for her Birthday.
Swing it, little king!

Edible.

Apologies that my blog's been slow lately, but you'll see more updates soon. Food, and in particular, pastry, has been my medium of choice lately. Some highlights:

Crime Scene

This started as a little crush doodle about how much I wanted someone to text me back.

I've been watching a lot of violent television lately.

But jeeze wouldn't it suck if you died before the bae hit you back?
