Saxon and Kenzie.

I drew this image from Mouse Guard Fall 1152 so I would have something to try out my new Dr. Ph Martin’s watercolours on. Apologies to Mr. Petersen! I’m not so good at using them, but I think it’s a decent start. I first saw Lucy Knisley use them on a Ustream video; she was painting an illustration of The Nanny. Then I saw it in person when I went to TCAF and bought her book  : )

Incidentally, Mouse Guard Fall 1152 and Winter 1152 are super fantastic books if you get a chance to pick them up.

I did some blind contours today while waiting for my cousin. I’m pretty happy with them, I think there’s a painting in there somewhere.

I think they turned out better than these cruddy, lazy ones I did last week at the park.

Today I set up an Etsy shop, where you can buy a copy of my latest minicomic, Paper Hats and/or Boats.

More minicomics to come in the future. I also like to make trades, so please let me know if you are interested!

I will also be adding some small paintings and prints over the next few weeks.
