I haven’t cut my hair in a while (and don’t plan to, I’m trying to grow it out for the first time in nearly a decade), so I thought I’d update my icon to be more accurate to the ridiculous 20’s mop top I’m sporting these days. oh and for the new kids: THE GOATEE WAS AN UMBRELLA ACADEMY MUG ALL ALONG~

A quick study of Marya Morevna from Deathless in Baba Yaga drag, loosely based on some photos of Ali Micheal (dem eyebrows). Mostly done to mess around with Sketchbook Pro 6, which I just got my greedly little hands on. I might do a proper painting later, since I really loved the imagery from that part of the book. I’ll be handing the book off to my mum this weekend, I’m excited to hear her thoughts on it.

Baby’s first cover art!(!!!) AND SIGNING!!!(!!!!!!) So last month I had the chance to work with the guys behind Kill Shakespeare (a comic should be reading) to produce an exclusive cover for the Silver Snail (a fixture in Toronto geek culture and dispensary of quality comics and related goods). I was especially thrilled with the project because I’ve been going to the Snail since I was an insufferable tween obsessing over Naruto and CLAMP, and the store has only facilitated my growth as a comics fan from that time. The Silver Snail will also be hosting a signing event this Saturday, the 23rd from 1-4PM with the creators and myself, to celebrate the release of Kill Shakespeare The Tide of Blood Issue #1. Come on down to the new location at 329 Yonge street just off Yonge Dundas square (above the Five Guys) and say hi!
