So I got up in front of people with a bunch of other rad lady artists last weekend at Wasted Years, and painted a canvas live. I was so nervous beforehand that I didn’t even really tell anyone that it was happening (because I am daft).

But I’m super glad I didn’t wuss out, it was a really fun (if ENTIRELY EXHAUSTING) experience, and I’d totally do it again. For amusement value here is a picture of me painting it also.

Bonus points for people who get my terrible t-shirt pun.

Some old fashion illustrations I did for marie claire magazine - I realised they never made their way on here, so I’m posting them in a fit of shameless nostalgia. Bonus points to anyone who can recognise which year it was just from the clothes.

L-R: Balenciaga, Burberry, Dries Van Noten, Chanel.

And an actual kinda portrait of a different friend because I haven’t gotten my cartoon-ey style out for a little while.

A sort of typographic portrait of a friend of mine.

Hipster satyr - because apparently I’m now combining drawing dudes with drawing antlers/horns. I’m working in ever-decreasing circles!

(also thanks to 00blackberry00 for a little bit of leopard tattoo inspiration)

Antlers. Because why not, I guess?

I want to start doing these kind of type sketches more regularly - I might tidy this one up and finish it properly later ‘cos I like it (maybe do some proper snake scales and fix the shading?).

Burlesque life drawing with speep mark 2.

I kind of wish I still had a scanner made more recently than the 1990s which worked with my current computer. Oh well, mobile phone shots for now!

Steps that lead to this being drawn:

1. Did hand-drawn type workshop.
2. Instagram pic of said workshop.
3. Bei mis-reads my terribly calligraphied ‘hello’ as ‘hella’.
4. I inexplicably misread her comment of ‘hella’ as ‘holla’.
5. Art.

Many thanks to @mactasia and @speep for invaluable critique. Additional critique welcome too, woo~

This was fun, but it shows how I am heinously out of practice. Ugh too many things to learn…

HIPSTER GANDALF WISHES YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIMI~! ♡

Of course, click for full-size hipsterness (it looks way better). I was going to have him saying, “I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor…. but you’ve probably never heard of them”, but then I thought about it and most people really won’t have heard of them, and even though that’s totally hipster it kind of ruins the joke.

Suggestions from people who are funnier than me as to what he should say are totally welcome!

This is a link because it’s kind of NSFW - he’s nude but you can’t see any actual manbits.

This here is a random oekaki drawing of one of my favourite pro SC2 gamers, Naniwa. Mainly because I wanted to practice portraits, but also because he’s a bit of a hilarious badass. Also he understands the importance of sushi in the world. Although he might be sick of sushi jokes by now… oh well. I’m going to enjoy watching him kick ass in Korea, I just know it.

And just for amusement value, (note: this was painted on the 4chan oekaki board if that’s a problem…) here’s an animation of the whole painting process.

Taken at Sydney Supanova. Weirdly, this was my favourite photo that I took.
