it's 9x12, watercolor and pens on bristol board. it's up for grabs at the comic shop too! if you want to purchase it and don't live in the area, i suppose you'd have to call the store :)

katie's "monsters and dames" piece for ECCC

this year will be my FIRST emerald city comic con! i can't wait. 

 

every year, the convention puts out a beautiful book (sales going to charity!) with the theme "monsters and dames". i was asked to submit a piece... and it turns out it's going into the book! 

there are some AMAZING names on the list this year and i'm thrilled to have my name alongside them.

katie can draw... fraggle rock books for... taco bell?

i'd heard that these may hit the fast food chain in january or february... and someone tweeted last night that they got one... so i figured it's okay to post about this!

right now, if you ask for the "under 3" toy in a taco bell kids meal, you get one of THREE jim henson's fraggle rock mini-board books that i wrote and illustrated! 

 

if that's not an incentive for you to go to taco bell for lunch tomorrow, i don't know what is. 

 

the three books are:

"welcome to fraggle rock"

"a postcard from traveling matt"

"doozer daily operations"

 

here are some pictures of the books and their interiors!

i did NOT do the lettering for "welcome to fraggle rock" or "doozer daily operations"... i DID do the lettering for "a postcard from traveling matt", as it was a last minure addition.  (click on the image for a larger pic!)

they turned out super cute and i am THRILLED to have been able to contribute to the fraggle rock universe once again! i hope everyone likes them. tell the good folks at the jim henson company that you want more fraggle rock! (...from me).

 

also, i snuck in gronk on one of the postcards on a cover. hehe! 

katie can draw PONIES

my little pony: friendship is magic is one of my favorite things on tv night now. (shut up. it's awesome)

i find it only fitting that the first piece of art i post for 2012 be pony related. so here's a quick rarity and spike for ya'.
