marker doodles! (and work notes)  Also, I am back from TCAF and good golly miss molly, what a magnificent weekend that was! Being able to see all my bestest friends (and finally meeting others!) is just so utterly heart-warming and reinvigorating to me. Nothing will get you out of a slump faster than surrounding yourself with your dearest friends who love the same things as you. And a big ‘thanks’ to everyone who stopped by to say “hi” to me! It was wonderful to meet you all, and thank you for helping make TCAF so special.

What are your favorite things to draw? Oh, oh, and what are your Major Influences (ooo big words)

I really like drawing critters and masks and ladies in “ugly” frumpy sweaters! I also really enjoy getting lost noodling out intricate patterns and ways to emulate texture in sketchbooks. I think it’s a fun challenge to see how far you can go making a pattern or texture with just a single pencil.

And in terms of influences, my biggest is probably the work of Stacey Rozich.  I am also hugely inspiried/influenced by mid-century design as a whole, (lots of love to Whorange!) especially Alexander Girard’s body of work.
