Drawing in the Dark: Sketches from The Wire
Drawing has always felt like a compulsion for me. The only way I got through school was by incessant doodling. I'm sure those old notebooks of mine are just yellowed, mushy pulp in some landfill now, but it would be such a treat if I could see them again. I ...

Invisible Hoody Comic Strip
I'm experimenting with watercolor and ink illustrations. Also trying out the Lightbox js gallery effect as a possible way of viewing comics online. I kind of prefer the traditional linear panels, but let me know what you think!

Figure Drawing: Color Study in Chalk
I've been posting so many doodles and cartoons to the site, I thought it would be nice to share some work from the other end of the spectrum. I'm going to be uploading some more of my figure drawings from the past year. For now, here's a chalk study from ...
Quick n’ Dirty Skate Animation
At Huphtur's suggestion, I decided to do a really quick animation test just using the doodles I had already created. Five minutes in ImageReady yielded this result:
...this was the original drawing:
So, just a really quick and sloppy test, but it shows promise. I think I'm going to try to refine ...
A Little History About My Drawings
In a bizarre, but delightful, twist of events, my illustration work is suddenly in demand. Weird, hu? I haven't done anything to pursue any side work, but in the last month I've been contacted with illustration requests for 7 or 8 different projects.

Breakin’ Intro
Here's an old animation I created years ago for my (now defunct) portfolio site "Workjones." Check out the little dot over the "j" when he plants his hand on it.
Doodle Test: Drawing Bikes in Perspective
Drawing bikes is tricky. Drawing bikes in perspective, changing as they turn corners and come closer to the viewer is even trickier.
Riding in the Rain (Meeting Doodle)
Lately, the sun has been making an appearance in many of my doodles. The sun is often supposed to reflect the current feeling of the main character, the character's conscious, or sometimes God.
This Raindrop Wears Undies!! (Meeting Doodle)
Sometimes raindrops like to dance in their ruffly undies in the rain.
Poor Raindrop! (Meeting Doodle)
More meeting doodles.

Cici and Rookie Me
Cici was this guy from Congo that I worked with at Breakaway Courier in Manhattan. He was always really nice to me, even when I first started out. Anytime he'd see me on the street, he'd ask how I was doing -- he called me Miss. He knew the city ...
Pencil Sketch: My “Room” in Greenpoint, Brooklyn
I had a twin sheet safety pinned across a string that I hung up. I was sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with two other people -- one of them my recently ex'd-boyfriend. I used a closet door on some milk crates to make a drawing table for myself. This sketch ...
