Gathering my sources

(photo from biography page on Helen Meany @ HickokSports.com)

Still rambling about the web looking at source photos. So far the water-based athletes are closest to what I'm looking for - synchronized swimmers and divers hit some amazing poses! Gymnasts and skydivers just look way too intense.

Proto-types: Goodfellow Progenitor

This was my first draft for a label design that eventually became Arcana's Professor T.S. Goodfellow Winter Correctives (they're all cheesecake-y and delicious, but I highly recommend the Ooomph for the coffee-obsessed). Our mad scientist started off as a younger, more love-centric fellow before taking on an older, winterier (today, it's a word) mien.

The Moebius tribute drawing crawls along slowly. Turns out I need to go gaze upon some source photos of trampoliners and sky divers to get this one right!

Old Stuff While I Make Some New Stuff

I went through a postcard phase a few years ago... will probably start another one soon. This one was for my mother, who is named after the plum flower.

Random Resolve

I like to make my resolutions on my own time.
This blog is part of the "make more stuff" bullet point that's been hovering out there in the middle distance since autumn.

I've been inexplicably bereft with regards to the passing of Moebius*, which makes no sense - I didn't even know he was still alive. I think rather I'm mourning the middle-to-high-school-aged me that thought I could be Moebius someday. I think I'll start with doing some work to remember him.

Until then (and, really, who knows how long that will be... "on my own time" as it were) please to enjoy a little something I sketched up for a friend's wedding many years ago (they are still happily married, ergo, my art ensures domestic bliss).
