Business Time

The hardest part about being as artist is promotion. Creating art is easy. Getting people to look at it is another story. I finally got around to making business cards, which is something that should have happened a long time ago.

I’ve been leaving them everywhere and giving them to everyone. There’s no way of knowing if they’re succeeding. If you found this site due to business card, please leave a comment.

There are five hundred. I am hand drawing an individual piece of art on every one.

It is turning out to be quite the endeavor.

Back From the Dead,

it is sketchbook Saturday! This is an older sketch of a patchwork zombie playing with a pair of yo-yo’s. At that point muscle memory is all you got, you know?

Larping Away

This was drawn in front of a live, armored model. Enjoy.

LARP Art. Charcoal and conte crayon on paper. 11″ x 17″ (27.9cm x 43.2cm).

This Party Needs Some Color!

Most of my recent works posted have been black and white. Here’s an ACEO to pump up the vibrancy.

(Reminder: An ACEO is a portable piece of art whose only constraint is that it be the size of a playing card.)

And Five and Six and Seven and Eight. Ink, pen, watercolor paper, and matte board. 2.5″x3.5″ (6.4cmx8.9cm).

SOLD

Not So Sketchy

This, like so many sad Saturdays before it, is not a Sketchbook Saturday. Maybe next week I’ll snap a shot from my brimming book of doodles for your viewing pleasure. For now, settle for this:

Corsetted

Another work from a Dr. Sketchy’s anti art class in Philly. Tonight I will be atteneding yet another Dr. Sketchy’s, so I hope you like burlesque. This model’s name is Kenti, and, surprisingly,  this is not the first I’ve worked with her. What a small world!

Dead Computer

Lately I have been making posts and updating my Etsy shop using the computers of my kind loved ones. This is a drawing of the computer I am using to upload today’s post. Enjoy your glimpse into the life of Jen.

This is another piece from Dr. Sketchy’s in Philadelphia. There is another this upcoming Friday. I highly recommend attending if you are in the area. This is Key again.

Stalling

Currently, I am having computer troubles. Here is another black and white sketch that has been up on my Etsy for a while. I promise steady, interesting material is coming soon.
