My MacBook’s logic board died over the weekend. It’s fixed and good as new now, but I didn’t get it back until yesterday so I have some major catching up on projects to do. Of course instead of working on what I should be tonight, I made new cuteness for my site’s main page with this bunny logo and also used the design to finally finish new business cards (ordered from moo.com!).

Work in progress — refreshing an old avatar idea into a simple illustration for a new business card.

This weekend I was invited to a tea and collage-making party by a family friend and it turned out to be a really enjoyable afternoon. Here’s the collages I pasted in my sketchbook, compleately nonsensical, but it was fun to play around with no rules or inhibitions about the final product.

I have a self-portrait project due, I did a few different versions. Here’s one of them I played around with a little.

I finally redesigned my website now as a portfolio. Have a look, more sections and work coming soon including a sketchbook section. I built it with Indexhibit because I didn’t want to rely on messy/costly portfolio websites when I could host and manage it myself. 

I’m kind of at a loss for what to draw lately. Plenty of inspiration, but I just keep second guessing myself, so I’m doing doodles of phrases instead.

2011 had its ups and downs like any year, but I’ll remember it fondly for having some of the best ups of my life so far. 2012 will bring even more big changes, so here’s to hoping it’s a great year ahead! The usual new year’s resolutions apply: Draw every day, become more fit and active, make better use of my time, get paid to illustrate, stay real and stay honest, and learn to like myself.

I designed and printed my own Christmas card this year, I was inspired by Swedish folk art and found a lovely Swedish verse for the interior. Also used the tree illustration for cutting wood ornaments via a laser printer. (I’ll share more on those later!)

I’m so excited I was selected to represent Ringling College of Art and Design’s illustration department at next year’s Megacon. The last couple months I collaborated with a committee of professors and other selected illustration students to create the second annual “Meanwhile” comic to be professionally printed and handed out at the convention. (And it’s free! So hit up the Ringling booth for your copy in February.) Above is my two page comic, hope you enjoy.

And here’s the other awesome people whose comics will appear in Meanwhile: Isabel Arenas, Natalie Andrewson, Alex the Beck, Matt Howley, Marceli Colato, Sishir Bommakanti, Scott Prather, Brett Carville, Bing Liu, Eli Manaya, Roi Horn, Andreas Labrada.

Fresh start as a personal/process blog!

I decided to have separate blogs for my personal work and my inspiration sharing. If you’re looking for my old posts (all still intact) you can view them at inspirationappetite.tumblr.com which from now on will be an inspiration blog for sharing images from others. This blog, however, will now be specifically for my own projects, process work, and anything else related to my personal work so please stay tuned.
