Not WASPY, but she looks less like me than the other ones.

I swear I can draw characters who do not have my haircut. I have some sketches of Waspy blond women who look nothing like me. Coming soon!

I’m no longer blogging at Channel Frederator (but keep reading it if you love animation). I am blogging for my friends at Roadside America. Mini-golf, monorails, lobster photo ops, and more!  So visit Trunkations and yield to the fun.

I’m  back! Almost done with writing for Angelo Rules (formerly How To Drive Everybody Crazy). So I’ll have time for some art-making. Happy Fall!

I’m hoping to catch the Mermaid Show at the Wreck Bar in Fort Lauderdale this Friday, so in honor of Medusirena, here is a mermaid that I painted yesterday. I am happy to say that Medusirena retains the use of her fully-formed hands, unlike the flip flippered lass above.

I’ve been blogging over at Channel Frederator since Spring of 2008, but I’m back here to announce that I’m keeping this blog going and will be adding regular postings of my artwork. To kick things off, a kicky girl!

Hey, I just wanted you to know that I am blogging about animation over at the Channel Frederator Blog. So follow me over there if you like cartoons. I got quite busy all of a sudden but I will continue to post odd items here as well, when time and inclination permits.

Funny how my gouache gals wear dresses and heels, which I rarely do.

I did a frantic race up and down the aisles of New York Comicon last Sunday and my favorite finds of the day were gouache-related.

Somehow I’ve never come across Animus, a beautifully produced pop-up book with images by Seonna Hong. Lovely and haunting, this little gem was published by Baby Tattoo, an innovative independent publisher.

I also bought another Baby Tattoo volume, Popping Through Pictures, a board book collection of illustrations by Amanda Visell. Interview with Amanda here. It’s interesting to find out that unlike Seonna Hong, Tim Biskup, Lynne Naylor and other animation/fine art types, Amanda tried to break into animation but never really succeeded. Seems she is doing just fine selling her paintings, sculptures, lunch boxes, toys, and other delightful offerings.

A tip of the cartoon hat to acrylic paint and other non-gouache art supplies. I’m not sure that all of this artwork is done with gouache but it does have the simple, retro 50s, flat, UPA-inspired, muted palette look that I love!

I have returned from Florida and it’s time for an update on the small statues of Boynton Beach. You may remember Part One. Well, it’s confirmed: individuality and a sense of rebellion as fierce as a slight breeze continue to be expressed through the purchase of lilliputian statuettes. The newest trends? Frog, frogs, frogs! Now more than ever. Also, a rising intellectual tide lifts all lawn ornaments: angels and the aforementioned amphibians seem to be doing more reading these days. You may ask, “Won’t you run out of small statues? Can I really look forward to Parts Three, Four, and beyond?” Yes, my friends, there are still many sections of this as-yet-unidentified gated community to explore (all of them named after brands of upscale china).  And perhaps someday I will gain access to another nearly identical active senior community and document scrappy poured concrete animals in overalls and pint-sized kids with curls of mock-stone that we can only imagine in our most mundane dreams! PS: The other highlight of the trip was a visit to the nearby water reclamation project/nature preserve where we learned all about the stunningly complex and inspiring local ecosystem that has been enthusiastically obliterated due to a pressing need for golf courses and big box stores. The faux froggies weep.
