Keepin’ on with those weekly challenges, here’s 50 Ears! This week’s new one is 50 Hats, so keep an eye out for those in the near future.
Month: December 2012
Happy Christmas, all you nice people. Please enjoy this badger. From me to you.
Love,
Lucy
Here’s a little Avatar-themed commission I wrapped up for someone recently.
I count myself lucky to not suffer from dreadful PMS very often, but for some reason I’m having a DOOZY of a time with this month’s Reminder That I Have A Uterus Celebration. In an attempt to salvage what has been an otherwise fraught, tearful, and frantic Friday, I have spent the evening drawing (and laughing at) this comic. Enjoy.
I’ve been chugging away at my weekly sketch challenges via the Artistic Veggies blog — a project I started to get people in on the 50-100 body parts a week train. If anyone wants to join in on the latest round, we’re doing 50 Ears. In the meantime, here’s 50 Noses and 50 Shoes.
Got a lot of bigger stuff I’ve been working on, but alas it’s all secret Christmas business so you’ll just have to wait and see.
Been doing these tiny bird paintings recently. You can even buy the originals in my store! Hoping to have a full rainbow (and prints) within the next few weeks.
Those of you who follow me on various platforms around the Internet will doubtless know that I drew a little silent, supernatural story for Cloudscape Comics last month. Their full, ocean-themed anthology won’t be out till next year (boo), but they’ve been kind enough to let me share the story with you here on my site (yay!). The drawings are by yours truly and the story was penned by Shannon Campbell, the brains behind VanCAF (where, incidentally, I’ll be exhibiting again next year!). But enough talk. On with the comics!

Nautical enthusiasts and beloved shipmates, rejoice! Baggywrinkles #3 is now available online for your reading pleasure. This issue covers the sailor’s rig, period-appropriate clothing, and the mysterious science of the foretopmast’ays’l. If you’d like to own a physical copy of the comic, you can pre-order one here! The current printing should be finished and bound in two weeks.
These comics celebrate and support the modern world of tall ship sailing. If you’d like to have a direct impact on the survival of this amazing lifestyle, consider supporting the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain via the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, a Washington non-profit dedicated to perserving maritime heritage. You can donate to the Seaport here, or, if you’re lucky enough to live along the West Coast, visit the boats in person when they stop in a town near you! For more info about crewing aboard tall ships, check out the Tall Ships America homepage or the Seaport’s Two Weeks Before the Mast program.
