Xenomorphs
When I was about 9 years old, my parents thought it would be a good idea to take me to the Charlotte museum that had a special Aliens exhibit going on. They had a life sized animatronic Queen fighting with Ripley in her robot suit, complete with strobe lights and sound effects. It was HORRIFYING.
Around the same time, my parents also took me to the beach and one night they told me to go to bed because they were about to watch a scary movie. Being the bright one that I am, I sneaked out and sat behind the couch and watched Aliens. It was HORRIFYING.
A year later we were at another beach house and whoever had stayed in the house before us had accidentally left behind a big Alien action figure of the Queen. I was scared shitless of it and my parents hid it.
So ever since then, I've been terrified of the Aliens franchise. Not even my love of Giger could change my opinion and to this day Aliens make me flip out.
Where am I going with this? I just want you to understand the pure terror I had to endure while drawing this birthday present for my friend Rick of the band Mushroomhead. He loves Xenomorphs. So I drew him a chibi one.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Drawing to music
STILL battling the most ultimate case of artist's block I've ever dealt with. I finished a long overdue commission yesterday after forcing myself to draw for 12 hours straight.
Sneak peek at the tshirt design I did for the band Ventana
So I've decided to do a little experiment. I have a lot of songs I've been listening to that hold some sort of significance to me. I'm going to do speed sketches to each song and see what comes up.
The first song on my list was Korn's Narcissistic Cannibal.
And here is the result of blasting it over and over and over
Other than NOT DRAWING, I've been pretty busy this last month.
My friend Ricky Tom Tom (as I so lovingly call him) of the band Mushroomhead came to town for a week to visit me! We went and looked at fishes in the aquarium, got freaked out at the Center for Puppetry Arts museum, saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (which I spent a good majority of hiding my face), and consumed whipped cream vodka like it was water.
Aaaand I went to a VNV Nation show which was mostly just an excuse to hang out with my BFFs
(L to R) Kellie! My dumb ass! Zmarr! Nicole! Ruby! Layna! Andy!
And then I dyed my hair half red BECAUSE I'M A REBEL

Meh
AHHHH I HAVE ARISEN FROM THE DEAD.
Have a warmup sketch I did. Derpaderpadoo
In this last month I have broken up with my fiance of 7 years, played a dominatrix in the Ben Stiller movie Neighborhood Watch, acted in several promotional videos for Circus Envy and the Days of the Dead convention, took a roadtrip to see a good friend's band play, and have yanked myself out of a 5 year funk. I'm pretty stoked.

Mermaids
Sorry I've been on a bit of a hiatus. My fiance of 7 years and I split up in early November and I've been going through the typical girl emotions of wallowing in sorrow and writing bad poetry. I actually attempted to draw today for the first time in weeks, have a little sample:
The funniest part of the breakup is that I've temporarily moved into my friend's house with my two cats and he has a cat of his own. The first day, the cats hissed and growled and poofed at each other. Day two, Osiris (my boy kitty) was still grumpy towards Smokey (my friend's kitty) AND his sister Kasumi (my girl kitty), Kasumi and Smokey started flirting. Day 3 they all started playing with each other, galloping around the house like crazy. By no means are they friends, but they've started terrorizing one another with flying pounces and monkey runs.

Mary Toft
Mary Toft was a curious woman who claimed to have given birth to rabbits
So the haunt season is over and I'm recovering slowly. My recovery is in vain, though, as our haunt is putting on a Christmas show this year. I'm being slave driven into creating concepts and whatnot. It's going to be hilarious.
