More books! More leather!

Here's a word I discovered: rejectamenta: things or matter rejected as useless or worthless.
I like this word! So I made a book out of scraps and called it rejectamenta. A journal for bad ideas!

Making Good on Blog Titles.

I've been into bookbinding for a very long time, though I've been horrible at documenting my work. Recently for a friends birthday my girlfriend and I made a leather-bound book - my first ever - and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Linocut Castle

I haven't done any printing in ages, and lino has never been my favorite process, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results here.

Bird Women, reprise

A while back (years) I was into an idea of drawing women inspired by birds. I passed over a really obvious choice then, but have come back to it. Peacock!

Another Work Binge

After a long time of not working and/or not posting work, here comes some stuff. Less finished first.

Just a quick colored pencil drawing of a cameo-style antlered woman. Ok!

Disapproving Moon

There are nights when I get bored and do absolutely nothing. Then there are nights when I get bored and something dumb falls out of my brain and I obsess over it for hours until I have it just the way I want it. So it was with Disapproving Moon.

The moon can totally see what you're doing, and it just wants you to know: gross, dude. Seriously? Come on. Ew.

I Love it When My Friends Have Birthdays.

Very recently my dear friend and roommate celebrated his birthday. Dude's a big fan of the x-men, one member in particular, so what do I do? Well, here, allow me to show, rather than tell.

This is the front, center, and back of the card I made for him. Is one of my favorite activities drawing hilariously effete/sexualized versions of men my friends and loved ones admire as gifts for them? Yes. I think I can answer yes to that with a fair amount of confidence.
