Happy New Year!

Here's to a shiny New Year for me and for you! 

Merry Christmas 2018!

Merry Christmas! I never got a chance to make a proper card, but I gave myself the gift of sleeplessness this festive eve to make a cute little baby animation for you.  Now to all a good night!

Don't You Forget About Me

After my first baby was born, it often felt like I'd never be able to draw or work again. Getting back into it was... hard. I'm hoping this time it will be easier, but just in case- don't you forget about me.

Peggy and Judy

Saw a clip of Peggy Lee on the Judy Garland Show and thought they struck such a contrast- both so beautiful in their different ways.

Myrna Loy

Been watching a bunch of #MyrnaLoy films on #FilmStruck.  Liking her more and more!

Last Figure Drawings from Summer

Never got around to posting my last figure drawings before I got too pregnant to sit through life drawing class anymore.

Cyd Charisse

Love the ballet sequence from "Singin' In The Rain."

Little Witches

Doodling some witches.

Fancy Dress Doodle Page

Been watching lots of classic films on #Filmstruck.  Got fancy dress on the brain. 

Kit Kat Yarn

I let the Kit Kat sketches simmer a few days, and doggone it- I liked this one enough to color it.

Due Date

I'm going a little bit bonkers waiting.  Midwife says everything is progressing fine, but JAYzus!! COME ON, kiddo...

Royal Elf Peoples

Sketching, ended up with some royal elf-looking people.  I don't know.

Vampire Lady

Felt like doing a Halloween vampire pinup.

Baby Belly

Every time I pick up my little girl from school, her classmates want to touch my belly and tell me that I have a baby in there.  It's really cute.

Doodle Sheet Faces

Kit Kat Doodle Sheet

Wanted to do another Kit Kat drawing- some pose ideas.

Spider Lady

#Pinup inspired by a costume from #SinginInTheRain.  Always thought she was a cool Spider Lady.

Madame DuBarry

Inspired one of Lucille Ball's costumes from "DuBarry Was A Lady."

Kit Kat

Did some more sketches of the Kit Kat waitress- she's sort of Halloween-y, right?

Doodle Sheet

Just doodles.

Judy, Judy, Judy... Redbubble x EyeJack Collaboration

Submitted my #JudyGarland animation in this awesome #AugmentedReality collaboration! https://youtu.be/2lat70Aa3tU

Last Weeks of Pregnancy

As the weeks are turning into days until my due date, there are two answers to the question "how do you feel?" without much gray area:

Woodland Nymph

Woodland nymph #pinup

Care For A Nip?

Quick sketch of Kit-Kat Club waitress.

Greta

Sketch to end the night.  Calling her Greta.

Sketchy Girlies

Only meant to sketch to warm up a few minutes but ended up being my afternoon.  History repeating itself!

Elastigirl

Wanted to do some Incredibles-related for a while.  Loved the original Elastigirl costume, so here!

Jo's Opinion 03: How To MAKE IT In Animation

Finally done with my "How To Make It In Animation" video!  I collected a bunch of frequently asked questions from over the years and present them here in as concise and entertaining a manner as I can.  I hope it helps you crazy kids out there, and if not, I hope it at least points out a path to those better able to advise.  Cheers!

When You Wish Upon A... bwuh??

Another snippet from my next video which is painfully close to being finished.

Push Yourself!

SO close to finishing my next video!

Ability to Adapt

Another snippet of the animation I'm doing for my next video- this section is about being able to adapt.

The Inconsistency of Being Luke

Here is that #StarWars cartoon I meant to have done in a week...several months ago.

Done in collaboration with hilarious talent Zoran Gvojic of LowCarbComedy.com

Star Wars Cartoon coming soon!

Should be ready in the next couple days!  Stay tuned.

Short and Sweet

Artist Interactions

Working on my next video- this is a little section about connecting with artists at cons.

Oh Hai Robot...

River Maiden Sketches

Working on another project- don't know if they'll go with this idea but I wanted to sketch the River Maiden a little more.

Sketchy Go Lucky

It's a good day when you get that feeling...

Characters for Next Video

Working on the little bits of animation for my next video.

Nick Hog

Animal Peeps!

Some animal peeps!

Bobby Soxer

Found an old sketch of a bobby soxer and felt like sketching some more...

Character Exploration

Some exploration for characters for a future video...

Jo's Crapbook Episode 05: Re Re Re ReDraw!

Compiled all my redraw livestreams into a crapbook video- it took too long, everything is a mess, but my new mantra is "they can learn from my mistakes!" so enjoy all the wrongness I supply for your edification!

Butterfly Girl

Unused character from a logo, but still like her.

Embracing the Housewife Look

Had to set my hair Friday night for a performance, so I spent most of Saturday going about my business in curlers.  I never looked more like a housewife, and I sort of loved it.

Figure Drawing July

Been back to figure drawing four times now!  Finally making good on my New Year’s resolution....from 2013.

Final Redraws

Here are the final redraws in larger format- like La Parisienne so much I put her on merch!

Re Re REDRAW!

Can't leave well enough alone, but I hated how most of my redraw exercises resulted in drawings that felt weaker.  Time for a re re REDRAW!

Yippee!!!

That Star Wars cartoon that was supposed to take me a week to animate but...didn't... is just about ready to post!  Keep an eye out this week!

Figure Drawing

My local figure drawing group started back up again and I managed to muscle my way into the very limited group a couple weeks ago.  I'm desperate to go some more- I've needed exercise these muscles for a long time.

Cherry Bang from GLOW

Participated in the GirlsDrawinGirls celebration of the next season of GLOW with this drawing of Cherry Bang.  I loved that "come at me" scene in the first season where she schools Melrose.  Also, I really want a playsuit like that.

Boarding on Hanazuki

Just realized Hanazuki is online now!  I loved boarding on this adorably weird show. Check out my first assignment: Dazzlecize! 

Intern #2

Should probably mention now that we're expecting Intern #2 this fall.  I've been too pooped these past few months to come up with a more clever announcement.
