It's #portfolioday? Cool!

I'm a designer and illustrator working in the architecture industry and on my personal project- KUDZULAND.

Open to professional collaboration, but mostly here to connect with other artists/designers/storytellers!

A couple of geckos in... uh... lizardhosen?

Happy Monday! Here's an old-ish Kudzuland Trashcat sketch.

Looks about how I'm feeling today (bothered, tired, kinda cute)

Fighting the urge to say "OK Natalie Imbruglia" everytime one of my coworkers tells me they are feeling torn.

"Rise, O children of the 'shine, and drink from the moon divine”

Moonshine Witch exploration- they live for ages drinking their magic moon juice. As flesh fades to bone, they construct a new body from old moonshine stills and wire.

Waking up with an urge to make something, getting overwhelmed thinking about what that something is, reading comics instead and making nothing 🤌

Magic Poser for web is such a handy tool to figure out some rough poses and where general lighting could fall on a figure - even down to the way shadows are cast on the ground.

It's not completely anatomically sound if you're a stickler like me, good enough to get started.

Kudzuland Firefly studies, this time sans gun.

Final post about these guys for now- drawing bugs is hard but I'm super into bugs these days so what can you do.

"They've got a gun!!"

Conceptual illustration about some rogueish fireflies and their new firearm.

Had a lot of fun with this silly silly concept. More to come... stay tuned...

It is so important that we make things that are wild and strange and good and meaningful and that the ghouls with their greedy little needle fingers don’t take those things away from us to bleed it dry leaving only “content”
