Ed Roth and Coop are two of my favorite artists and Mars Attacks! is my favorite franchise that deserves another chance at a movie. I had big hopes for the Tim Burton film but it was so disappointing.

Girl Vampire
Here’s a new sketch I just finished which combines my favorite things: hair, expressions, pink, and vampires!
Is winter over yet?
It has been a horrendously cold winter this year! It finally started looking nice out and just to my luck it snowed yesterday! Its really cold in my house so whenever I’m not working on my computer or working in general I’ve been covering myself with a quilt and an electric blanket and sketching. When it warms up I plan on completing a few sketches.
For the Love of Ivy
I am a HUGE fan of The Cramps, for the past month all I’ve listened to is Smell of Female and Stay Sick! Just in case you haven’t heard of the Cramps watch them here. The Cramps were headed by husband and wife power couple Lux Interior and Poison Ivy and you can feel their passion for music in every recording they’ve ever produced. I could go on and on… I made a list a couple of years ago of people I want to meet one day and Poison Ivy is the next on the list.
Anatomical Venus
I could never be a doctor, I don’t have the patience (or the money for school) but I am fascinated with the history of medicine, in particular the study of anatomy. I also like studying the history of death and funeral rituals from around the world, in particular victorian funeral customs. While browsing around the internet I discovered the wonderful art of Morbid Anatomy. I’d link any of the dozen or so blogs, image archives, or found jpegs in my folder but I encourage you to do a google search yourself. One subject that I particularly am interested in is the art of the so-called “anatomical venus.” In the 1800’s artists would create wax models from moldings, or with their own artistic talent, of unusual medical cases or various organs for medical students to examine without having to open up a fresh cadaver. One popular item was the Anatomical Venus, which is the full or quarter sized model of a deceased woman with a removable abdominal cavity exposing highly detailed models of internal organs. Here is one such example: 
I decided to draw my own Venus but add my own style to it. The organs are obviously exaggerated and taken with some creative license. The hair was the most fun part, I decided to make it look like intestines to make up for her missing digestive system.
The Queen of the Jungle
This summer I entered a competition for Mike’s Hard Lemonade to design a limited edition can for their Tiger’s Blood drink. I really had fun doing this even though I didn’t win.
Altar Society
My mother is a member of the Altar Society at the Elm Creek Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Its a group of old ladies that organize fundraisers, community events, and the goings on of the church. My father and I like to joke and say that the Altar Society is secretly a motorcycle gang, so for Christmas I designed a fake back patch for my mom’s gang. She didn’t like it. She said it was sacreligious.
