Classy People

Hi all, here's my "classy" piece.  I figured I wouldn't have much time to draw at home, so I drew it on my small moleskine so I could do it while I was at work. It started off classy, and the it turned into this piece with shapes and people jammed everywhere. I guess the parts that are classy are the pearls, monocle on the crazy guy and their attire. I swear it was classy inspired. 

Mega classy

This picture is doing triple duty, being my squids with lasers "class" submission, a piece for Fan Expo, and also a present for my friends Faye and Tony (but they don't know about it yet, so don't tell them):

Keeping it classy

For once I decided against taking the theme as a pun or other play on words and just stuck to the general concept. This is definitely the classiest thing in my sketchbook at the moment, and I'm pretty partial to it.

If it looks familiar, that's because it is: this is my own version of a famous Mucha http://love4thearts.wordpress.com/2011/03/27/more-mucha/

A couple of Classy Men

In the theme of class, here's Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy from X-Men: First Class.

Feature on Stitch Love

Thanks to Taryn, for pointing me to this fantastic feature of our blog! You should check out Stitch Love - it's a really sweet blog about knitting, crotcheting, and other crafting

Here's the Squids with Lasers feature! And here is the Stitch Love blog.

A new piece based off of a review of Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.

NEW STUFF! (finally)

So here's some new stuff to take a gander at!

Here's a piece I did for Toronto's Eye Weekly in late October for an article about gratuitous sex in horror films of late.

Starting to think monochromatic looks great with my stuff, so I think I'll use it more!

Cute girl with a cuppa coffee!

And here's a wedding present I did for Miss Amanda and Blake!

Old school tattoo lady

Finally managing to break out of my art block, kind of. Here's some old lineart I just coloured.

Rose Lady

Fan Expo: Dr. Frankenfurter

I'm so hot for Tim Curry.

Portrait o' John: Amanda

This is my friend John, he makes the most incredible music you could ever put into your faceholes. If you'd like to have your mind blown, you can go like him here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Primatus/28261532129

This painting took wayyyy too long, but John was awesome at posing for reference pictures, haha. Please click on the picture to see John with both his hands intact :)

Steampunk: Amanda

I know that everyone and their mother has jumped on the steampunk bandwagon, but I really like the brass colour and gears, damn it. Also, hi, I died for awhile!

Bear pile

My half of an art swap with Bryan Heemskerk. He punches bears for a living. True facts.

Riff Raff Piece!!

Piece I made for a show called Riff Raff in Toronto, the show highlighted guitar players, so being my crazy self I did a portrait of a Muppet! Floyd Pepper from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!!

Fan Expo: Sulu

Fan Expo: Link and Zelda

Fan Expo: Peach

As with many people on this blog, I am quietly panicking about the approach of Fan Expo. However, it does mean that I can post this "official portrait".

Beatles: Elizabeth

Ahh... look at all the lonely people.



The picture above was so unrelentingly grim that I have also seen fit to provide you with a bonus image: Eleanor Rigby, now in trashy paperback!

Theology: Taryn

So, for theology week I choose to do Starbuck (Kara Thrace) from the new Battlestar Galactica because of her importance in the series. Battlestar Galactica makes me melt, especially Kara's progression through the show. Behind her is the Eye of Jupiter!

I'm trying not to spoil too much. Just watch it! It's a horrifying struggle to watch through most of the third season, but the season finale is totally worth all of the suffering.

Theology: Amanda

I copied Liz :D ... I guess that sort of turns this week into mythology week, but shh. Persephone and Hades, because I feel for the girl always getting the raw end of the deal. The way mine ends is with a sexy Hades who is totes okay with Persephone staying or leaving. She's contemplating eating the pomengranate seed or not. I think probably the fact that Hades has sweet hangouts and looks good in a gothboy skirt may be deciding factors.
