Molly Lewis Poster

I was so honored to be asked by Molly Lewis to do the art for this poster.  I mean, not only do I get to do this cool thing, I get to make art of all these awesome people that I love to see. You get asked to do a thing like this, and the answer you WANT to give is “I WILL BUILD A TIME MACHINE AND GO BACK IN TIME AND TELL YOU OMGHELLSYES BEFORE YOU EVEN COULD HAVE ASKED!!1!”

Molly Lewis

Do not cross Molly, technology!

Molly Lewis and Marian Call

Ninja Marian Call with a Kazoo!

The Doubleclicks

The Doubleclicks! I wasn’t at the best angle for the photos… sorry!

Molly Lewis's MOM!

Very special guest: Molly’s mom!!

Molly Lewis

When Molly covered “Poker Face”, the lights went on in the green room, and all of the performers were dancing along! WHOOO!

Vixy and Tony

I didn’t get good photos, so I will illustrate with some fanart! Also in the show: Vixy and Tony! I made this fanart of them because boy do I ever love “Companion“!

Sunnie Larsen

Also, Sunnie Larsen! I was a little short on time, so this is a somewhat simple fanart. I’ve seen Sunny playing with Marian Call a couple of times, and dangit if she didn’t squeeze a tear out of me when she was playing with Vixy and Tony during the above song.

Open Letter to Stephen Fry

If you’ve wondered what Molly’s “Open Letter to Stephen Fry” would sound like with a full band, here you go!

It was an awesome show, and now that Molly is freed from her college bindings, you should try to catch her wherever she performs!

Supertrain

On a more personal note, I finally got to meet an hang out with a passel of Sea Monkeys (attendees of the JoCo Cruise)! Sara Chicazul, Maria and Taylor Fisher (who have a giant bag of art I dumped on them!), and Alice Lee (OMG, thank you for dinner!!). They were traveling around to West Coast Jonathan Coulton shows, and I was able to host a Supertrain party (A concept from John Roderick, planned out in a few episodes of Roderick on the Line)! I have had a VERY awesome weekend!

 

I really, really love nerds, people. I really do. They make life SO MUCH more fun!

The Doubleclicks

At ECCC I managed to catch a mini-concert with The Doubleclicks (they have new stuff coming out!!), Marian Call, Molly Lewis (who is making videos every day this month, check it out!)and Vixy and Tony.

Marian Call

And Marian Call’s newest, Shark Week was so fun! Can’t wait to see her plans for the release. :D

Molly Lewis

Speaking of Molly’s video project… I made this fan art to support it.

Molly Lewis

When Molly was on her… 2nd and 3rd? Bit of a Chats with Ken Plume, there was a mystery guest, eventually titled J.Q. Walrustitty. I thought I’d finally draw that – but then mash it up with My Neighbor Totoro… you know, because!

Then, C.K. Wright linked to some cute animal pictures, and this was among them, so I…

Pug Me

… made a self-portrait as a pug-ly princess. With a monocle.

 

 

 

And a final note…. I was interviewed! The interview – with photos – is here!

On Halloween last year, Molly Lewis, Sara Chicazul, Marian Call and The Doubleclicks (among others!) Dressed up as “Sexy” w00tstock. I finally got around to drawing some of them!

I have a few things today! Well, OK… more than a few…

 

Marian Call

Marian Call posted some photos from an art project she was modeling… I felt compelled to fanart it!

Snail

Self portrait as a snail. Because. Creepy, no?

Community

On a recent Bit of a Chat with Ken Plume, he chatted with Gillian Jacobs of the awesome show, “Community”. This is Brita and Señor Chang doing the play “Letters” as Muppets.

TJ Miller Tarzan

 

This is… I took a nap the other day and had a series of odd dreams. There was one in which comedian TJ Miller was a nude Tarzan, telling funnies while swinging around a stage on vines. Imagine what that’d actually look and sound like. You’re welcome.

TJ Miller

I also did a proper portrait of him. He seemed to enjoy it! :)

 

PNBJDE Promo Video!

I will be appearing at the Pacific Northwest Ball-Jointed Doll Expo, and this is a video they posted today to promote the show. I’ve always loved dolls, and kind of early on with the BJD fad a lot of my friends jumped into it. However, it is a very expensive hobby (and job for one awesomely talented friend), so I couldn’t indulge. At least now I get to see a bunch up close!

 

Also, I will be attending Emerald City Comic Con. I hope I can figure out a wheelchair arrangement by then, my back has been really iffy lately. Are you going? What in particular will be a draw for you?

 

Pete Holmes

I leave you with fanart of Pete Holmes, comedian and host of the “You Made it Weird” podcast.

I am having to move very suddenly. The building we’re in was doing earthquake retrofits and renovations, but things went sort of sideways, and I had about a week and a half to try to find a new place, pack, schedule movers…. CRAZY TIMES. Anyway… the move is requiring quite a loss of stuff and storage space. Some features also differ, making needs for some items where there hadn’t been before (oh, and while on a bus line, I am no longer near ANYTHING where I can “go run and pick up” stuff). Obviously I am short on funds, and cleaned out everything I had doing crazy things like paying the phone bill. EXCITEMENT! So, should you be in a very giving mood, here’s a buncha stuff I’ll need in the new place (and I do this so you can buy a thing directly if you are vastly uncomfortable sending funds to me):

Moving Wishlist.

Now, certainly I am going bonkers trying to figure out how to get stuff like this so I don’t have to live out of cardboard boxes forever (it’s cute when you’re 25 and able-bodied, not so much when you’re 37 and not so able). There MIGHT also be something coming up in a month or so* where you’ll want to buy stuff from me. OH THIS TIMING CURSE. So, please choose accordingly, pass it around. I need everything I can get to help. I already have a growing list of needs I cannot keep up with (like a winter coat, the gauzy long shirt I have ain’t doin’ it, and a back-up drive so I don’t loose data if my system fries, as it seems inclined to do if I can’t get it fixed), and I desperately want to get organized for my sanity and health.

I also plan an eBay batch when I get settled. I have so much art I never need to see again and I cannot afford the space. – I could practically fill that giant file cabinet on the wishlist.

UPDATE #4: We cannot afford a vacuum, and we will really need on in a couple of weeks. I know the one I choose seems pricey, but it really takes care of all the needs and challenges I have in keeping the carpet clean.

*About this thing. I cannot say yet – particularly as it is not completely confirmed, I can just say it could make for some tantalizing holiday shopping. I am a temptress, yes. (Please be laughing now, I sure am!)

Also, I will be back online after Monday.

Alrighty! Enough pleading today! ON TO ARTS.

Sara Chicazul

The lovely, the creative, the kind Chicazul!

Plumeiverse

Based on the episode of A Bit of a Chat with Ken Plume with John Hodgman making his 4th appearance (special surprise moments long guest Paul F. Tompkins ). This is based on discussion of an alternate Plumiverse that they discussed.

Molly Bloodyfingers

On another episode of that podcast, Molly Lewis had a 5th appearance in which they talked about a potential roller derby name. “Molly Bloodyfingers, Queen of the Uke”.

 

And this is what Paul and Storm say Marian Call does in Alaska – Breakfast with Bears!

 

That is all for now!

I went back and revisited my Legend of Neil fanarts, hoping to maybe be considered for DVD inclusion. Do they seem worthy of doing something similar to what I did with the GeekGirlCon Concert fanart? I mean, medical stuff that isn’t covered by insurance ain’t cheap, we’re being forced to move due to construction, and there’s just a lot of crazy stuff going on I can’t do anything about. Needs just keep piling up. *shrug*

Speaking of the concert…

Geek Girl Con Concert

I’m really hoping I can get tickets to see Marc Maron in November. He’s playing at The Neptune, a sea-themed theater so…

Marc Maron

There’s a neat little restaurant nearby called “Nook“. I kind of love them (locally owned, tasty, cheap-ish, friendly couple who make/run the place), so I made this for them…

Nook

AAaand lastly…

 

Steamcon! This weekend! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get printer ink, but if I can, I will try to make 50 or so buttons to have as freebies for people checking out my art at the art show! I feel like I made 100 last year, and they obviously evaporated. I would like to do more, but I made not have enough supplies left. I also may not be able to, because my ulnar nerve entrapment is going cray-zeee (the machine is all manual).

Geek Girl Con Concert

 

Do you like this fan art of Marian Call, Molly Lewis and The Doubleclicks? Would you like the full image in high rez for wallpaper? Then please consider donating or supporting me in some way. I did manage to aquire tickets for the con, the concert tickets should be gifted me today as a b-day gift, but as I’ve mentioned in previous rants, I am in need of new ortopedically inclined shoes – I’d like to walk around to things without my feet rubbing raw, you know?

You can donate via Revolution by clicking this link. Or if you must, PayPal with the e-mail address in this link (P.S. It has been suggested that Paypal donors select the Personal option, then Gift so there are no unexpected fees.).

Whatever it is you do, try to send a note that lets me know what you did and what e-mail address I should send the file to (and if you want ye olde 1024×768 or 1920×1080). If you use donations, often there somewhere in the submission forms to leave a note.

Update #1: (Sorry, was very sleepy and ill last night, forgot more details!) Concert Info, and Tickets.

Shoe fund currently at $20. The goal is so I can afford something like this or this, it really depends on what I can find that feels right and meets doctors’ requirements. I currently have been relying on a pair of Merrells because they suit my needs pretty well, but I had to sacrifice my pink toes. I also plan to go to my favorite shoe store with the excellent return and exchange policy, because they offer decent discounts.

Update #2: Shoe fund is up to $45!

Update #3: Shoe fund is up to $60!

Update #4: $65! Shoes tried on (more than a dozen!), bought (not quite enough funds, but I pinched some pennies), ready for return/exchange, special order in process. Complicated!

Yard Sale

I bought this jumpsuit at a yard sale when I was about 14. I barely fit into it. I was also not allowed to wear it out of the house for fairly obvious reasons.

Steampunk Monkeys

Fan art based on w00tstock and JoCo Cruise Crazy. It features steampunk monkey robots Paul and Storm, hot-rod-bot John Roderick, Jonathan Coulton, Wil Wheaton, Molly Lewis, Marian Call, Smilin’ Mike Phirman (and a literal :D ), Adam Savage, and references to MST3K and Elton John.

Dolls

A pattern I’m working on for fabric. I’m not sure there’s enough of a margin for seams, so I’ll have to see what the sample looks like. If it works, I’m thinking of making another pattern that’d have clothes for them.

Steampunk Bio 2

And this is an updated self portrait for my Steamcon III bio. Look for it in the printed guide they’ll be handing out at the con!

Back from the Marian Call concert! It was an awesome, and extended show (I assume this is because it was being recorded). 3rd time I have had the good fortune to catch her live, and WHEEEEEE!

I was able to give copies of fan art to her AND The Doubleclicks after the show. I think I like this thing of bringing gifts for awesome performers!

I feel like there should be more to say, but I am so sleepy! Another time, perhaps.

Just a few things today…

In a recent Paul and Storm podcast, there was talk of sidekicks, and Paul put out a request for someone to build wooden steampunk money robots. I cannot build, but I can draw! I drew the sketch right away, but time and distraction drew the linework out about a week, then there’s the usual up all night coloring.

Paul and Storm Wooden Steampunk Monkey Robots

Somewhat recently on Twitter, Marian Call talked about being able to see snow and stars at the same time…

Marian Call

Nelson Long Boards made a limited run of long boards with my bacon fabric! They are currently sold out, but it’s still pretty darn cool!
