My sister Elizabeth was recently in a short film called Bridge and for her birthday I wanted to surprise her with a watercolor inspired by it. But as I'm hopelessly unskilled in watercolors, it turned out like this. Maybe I'll just buy her some flowers instead.

This is a doodle from ages ago I decided to go ahead and color in.

I wanted to look glamorous in Las Vegas so I bought some high heels. It didn't end well.

Monkey Rag Update

I hadn't planned on posting this now, but as I'll be in Las Vegas for most of this week I wanted to have something on my blog to show during my absence. This is the board-o-matic for the Monkey Rag music video I've been going on about for ages. Its mostly small thumbnails (with just a few key poses and a small smattering of animation) so it doesn't really have that cutesy, bouncy feel I'm going for. It also missing a lot of a gags I've come up with and haven't sketched out so some of this stuff doesn't make sense to anyone but myself. To sum up, this is the bare bones, skeletal, anemic beginning of what I plan to be a fun and charming little cartoon. When I get back from my trip, I'm going to dive into working on this.

My husband is going to attend NAB in Las Vegas and his studio was kind enough to send me there too. Hot. Diggety. Damn. Indeed. I'll be back Friday!

Not quite done with that cake number from "Singin' In The Rain"

Daily Crapbook: Cary Grant


I think I'm getting closer to figuring out what he looks like. Now I'm off to study another of his movies. Perhaps "Arsenic and Old Lace"...

I watched "Singin' In The Rain" again and it has diverted my doodling attention.

I inked this drawing five times, and this was the best attempt. All of my "quick drawings" seem to be taking a very long time lately.

Daily Crapbook: Cary Grant



I tried to do a quick caricature of one of my favorite actors- Cary Grant. I spent way too much time on it, but I think I came up with some interesting faces along the way.

I'm trying to work out one pose- it keeps coming out differently though.
