I’m completely enamored of the Stillman & Birn sketchbooks - the paper can take a really unbelievable amount of abuse. I do not work for them (though I wouldn’t say no to a sponsorship - this is what we call a HINT Stillman & Birn people), but they are the sketchbook I would recommend. I use the Epsilon series paper in various sizes.

A mermaid pinup. I would love to some portraits in this style.

I may get tired of turning people into mermaids at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. This was inspired by an instagram photo posted by Kat Mon Dieu of she and the great Dirty Martini performing at Night of a Thousand Stevies.

I’m trying to clear out some inventory from my Etsy store - so, if you spend at least $10 you’ll receive 15% off of all purchases with the code TENTACLES.

I’m thrilled to announce that my previously sold out print, Sixteen Tentacles — Va Va VOOM!, is once again available for sale. This time on my Society6 store - my lovely octomaids grace pillows, cards, and iphone/ipad cases.

The lovely and always hilarious Sara Benincasa commissioned a portrait from me which I finished yesterday.  As she is (among many other things) the Jezebel advice columnist, we decided that all the starfish would seek advice from mermaid Sara. Please don’t ask me how ink works under water. It JUST DOES.
I finally got around to reading her book, Agorafabulous, which just came out in paperback this week, and it’s excellent. It’s the very, very funny autobiographical story of her anxiety disorder, how she got better and how she became a comedian. It’s totally worth your time and you should all read it. (I’ll likely be writing something more substantial about it in the very near future).

I’ve really gone mad with all the posting.
