For a Cleveland Show test I did a few years ago. 

I can’t tell you how tedious it was.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!

platypus-sweaters asked: Oh geez, your art is such an inspiration to me. c: Do you know of any good references that can be found online for anatomy? I've been looking so I can find some, but I can't find any... and because my mother has banned me from the premises of deviantART until I'm 18...

You’re not really missing much; DA’s cred has gone down in recent years (I’ll probably be leaving it soon). As opposed to website, I suggest BOOKS! There are a ton of anatomy books out there for the artist, and I know you’re young, but there are life drawing classes out there for younger folks, too. I would also just carry around a sketchbook and draw people you see, at first it seems boring but I can tell you, it really helps you improve quickly. 

Like I said, a ton of books out there. I also suggest reading anything by Eadweard Muybridge - he has a ton of books of figures in motion and its great for anyone who wants to learn strong gesture.

klinkquarak asked: Why are you seriously so talented?! You got a gift :)

I’ve always had a knack for drawing, but I got really good at it because I practiced hard, and never gave up! It’s important for your well being to put a lot of work and dedication into your passions, goals, and dreams.

Thank you so much <3

hugholt asked: You're work is so cool. So inspired. So quirky and wonderful. Love it. Keep it up!

A trailer for a documentary about the life and work of Carrol Spinney: I AM BIG BIRD.

For Carrol, as always. This is a drawing I did a few years ago, and went back and made it look much spiffier.

I was featured in the Girls Drawin’ Girls book Volume III - SUgar and Spice, and I got chosen to do fruitcake. 

Fruitcake can be really good when done properly. Peppermint and Gingerbread are total bitches towards cute, punky fruitcake. She really should put on a sweater, though.
