Previews Of The Next Comic I’m Working On.

"Amateur Psychoanalysis"

self-portrait, acrylic on wooden board, 11.5 x 18

This is the first finished painting that I've done in over a year. It was inspired by the work of Jenny Saville, Francis Bacon, and Nicola Samori. My intention was to create a piece where only certain parts of the image were fully rendered, so as to show the various stages in a painting. In this case, only the left eye, the mouth, and the ear are complete; every other part of the image is left at an earlier stage of painting.

As for the title and the smear of the right eye... I don't know. They just kind of happened. Since the start of the piece, I envisioned the right eye as a smear of white paint. The title is how I referred to the piece mentally as I worked on it.

are you ever gonna do more rj hill🥺 it really really changed things for me and id love to buy a compendium or something. i got the two comics digitally already and i am YEARNING for more :(

I’m so glad you like the comics and thank you for buying the digital copies!

I don’t have any ideas for more comics involving Bart, Chris, and Bobby. I do have an idea and some thumbnail sketches for a comic that takes place in the same “universe,” I guess? But it’s not high on my list of personal projects at the moment.

So I’ve scanned the pages of my risographed fashion study zine (you can buy that here) and have got them for sale on Society6!

I haven’t posted WIP pics in awhile because it drives me crazy when those get more interest than the finished pieces but I need to show off all my cool sketches.

Doodled this in between seeing clients.

I’ve been in a weird place with my art lately. Feeling like there’s no point if it doesn’t “do” something, and then doubting the ability of art to “do” anything in the first place.

But it was cool to draw this and think “Man, if 10 year old me knew they’d be able to draw Sailor Moon this well, their head would explode.”

Howdy! I’m still alive.

I’m fortunate, in that my day job is being done remotely, but it’s a very difficult change and I really don’t like it, so the stress has been getting to me. I was invited to be part of a really cool thing but it may have completely fallen through due to the stay at home order, I have no idea, so that kind of kneecapped my motivation, art-wise.

Hard copy version of my comics aren’t in my etsy store at the moment, as I’d been sneakily printing them on the printers at my office and I don’t have a printer at home. PDF versions are still up for sale.

At this time, I struggle to see the point of making art that doesn’t “do something.” Here are two tapestries I’ve made (I’m working on getting the edges even and reducing the amount of hour-glassing before I go totally nuts and invest in a rigid heddle loom) and some socks I darned for my boyfriend.
