And I continue to turn clients into mermaids.

Here is the finished version of the Julia Pastrana postcard. Graphic Design by Gyda Arber, illustration by me.

I caught the opening night of Victoria Libertore’s No Need For Seduction and it was completely delightful. Read Trav S.D.’s rave here.

My illustration of Vic with Ganesha above.

I’m drawing film stills again! This will be up on my Etsy store soon (along with some other small originals). 

This was a commission in which I turned a group of friends into their Dungeons & Dragons personas. 

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.

The Triple Goddess as 18th century whores (which seems like something that would be entirely possible). And a rat.

I drew this last night after becoming obsessed with a picture of late-Victorian.early 20th century actress Constance Crawley and her monkey.

I think I need to do a complete series. I am obsessed.

I created this image for a friend’s show about Julia Pastrana which will be at The Brick in Williamsburg this June.

If you would like to read about her interesting and tragic show biz career (which extended far after her death) please take a look at Trav S.D.’s excellent blog post.

I drew this the other night when Trav was asleep. I want to ink and paint it sooner rather than later, but I’m not sure if that will happen.

I was planning on writing a Roger Ebert post, but for various reasons, I refrained. I did, however, draw this illustration in preparation.

I painted this the other day from a drawing I mostly did on the subway.

Finished!

Ink, watercolor and gold acrylic (I couldn’t find my gold ink. I know it’s somewhere). As I said earlier, this was how I celebrated 4/20. I did no smoking of any sort, I just inked.

Inked yesterday, to be painted today. I celebrated 4/20 in my own way! i.e. stone cold sober, hunched over the couch, watching bad movies*, inking.
