Juxtapoz!

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 20, 2012, 10:37 PM
I was featured on the Juxtapoz website!  Can't express how happy that makes me.  There are all sorts of things that I want to say but I'm just going sit here and be excited.  [link]

Furthermore:  

I will be showing my art at the March 22nd "RAW: natural born artists" STIMULUS showcase. Please check out their website and if it seems like something you would be interested in attending (21 and over only, sorry), buy a ticket under my name. You'd be doing me a huge favor and it would be nice to see familiar faces as I will likely be a nervous wreck.  This is actually my first time showing my stuff publicly.  Please buy tickets tonight or tomorrow or else it will cost $15 at the door.

Thank you! It's mostly just using different Sharpies. I'm going to try and start mixing gouache and water color in there too and see what happens.

I was using Zazzle for a little while, but I haven't been entirely pleased with the results. I have prints set up here on deviantArt, but I haven't ordered any so I don't really know how good those are?

Your art style is so good! I love the contrast between the slightly macabre images and the migraine-inducing colour scheme :D good stuff :)
