Soon to be new website!

So I'm working on a new website! Like, totally starting from scratch new. I happen to be in close cahoots with someone who makes a living doing fancy online computer stuff, and who has offered to help me make a super high-tech-running site! I will still be doing all the design side though, and I really like how it's coming along. I will be using my first-ever custom designed font, which I originally made to avoid having to handwrite all the dialogue for a certain nameless, all-knowing entity in Lilith, but which I have come to see as my own personal font as well. I'm not sure what that says about how I feel about being an artist--am I the god of my work?

I'll let you know when the unveiling happens! It won't be for quite awhile though as we are in the barest beginning stages.

Whale of a Valentine's Day

Made a sweet little valentine this year to give to the kids in my a.m. class that I see every morning. I typed their names on top of the spout for each one (there is no Lavender, I just happen to love that name).

My New Webcomic!

Wow, it's been awhile. I've been a little on hiatus from illustrating in the classic sense. You see, I've just begun to venture into new media: webcomics! That's right, I'm ears-deep in serially publishing my work (gulp).

It's hard for me considering I spent 2 years getting my first picture book just right. To make a comic, and then that same night release it into the world is like putting my sketchbook--which for me is like putting my most vulnerable part of myself, my talent--out in a fairly rudimentary, unedited form. I have planned ahead for the first fifty comics or so, but we are already at 28 and I am looking back thinking, "Oh I wish I'd done this or that differently." Well, too late! It's now set in stone--I mean, cyberspace, where anything can and will happen.

Let's hope it's good.

Lilith, A Webcomic
Lilith on facebook

Although Lilith and The Big Something come from the same dust-cloud, they seem to have inherited completely opposite qualities. For one, The Big Something is an omniscient, yet non-physical being. Lilith is a little girl. Grounded in logic, The Big Something has all the answers. But Lilith has all the power of the magic of the universe. The Big Something has a plan: it wants to use Lilith as a tool to build a new universe, intricately planned and governed by reason and logic. Lilith wants to let her imagination run wild in what she views as a blank canvas for her own subconscious creations. They are often at odds. With her friend Samael beside her, Lilith finds new ways to harness the universe's power with results that are sometimes beautiful, humorous, and terrifying.
