Tumblin'

 

I'm going to start transitioning this blog over to a Tumblr. Not that i update that frequently anyway, but lately i've been liking the look and functionality of Tumblr, and i feel like my posts are image-heavy and text-light, which seems to better suit a tumblr format. I'm also looking into building an actual web-site, like a real-ass professional, but that's in the future.

  

I might do a couple of over-lapped posts, to give the handful of people who actually check the blog a chance to make the move with me (all my love to all of you, all the time always). 

 It's pretty sparse just now, but here's the new link. Kindly update your bookmarks!:) http://lissabt.tumblr.com/

Purses

I bought a new purse recently, which is something i almost never do. It afforded me an opportunity to personify inanimate objects which... is something i do quite often. It MIGHT be the girliest comic i've ever made?

Spring in LA

Nice and breezy this morning!

Connecting

This is what the internet has made me.

Crepusculove!

I thought of this pun yesterday (i'm SURE i'm the first one EVER) and spent all day quietly amusing myself with it because entertaining myself is the best! Just kicking myself for not coming up with this in February. I'm all animal puns all the time now.

Pen to Paper: My Imaginary Friend

I was really excited when GR Works asked me to contribute to this project! "Pen to Paper: My Imaginary Friend" is a collaboration between the little kids of 826LA (a non-profit creative writing workshop that i've been a fan of for a long time) and big kids who get paid to draw pictures (like me!). We were each given a short story written by one of the kids and asked to illustrate it. My kids story was super weird and fun and gave me a chance to be weird too :) Here's a little sneak peak... The project just launched a kickstarter with some amazing incentives, please check it out, contribute if you can, share it around if you can't! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grworks/pen-to-paper-my-imaginary-friend-childrens-book GR Works will be hosting a gallery show for all the artwork done for the project later this month. More exact info to follow!

I'm The Art Show, Deal With It!"

There are so many gallery shows happening right now! It can be stressful but i'm SO happy to be a part of so many of them. The Ladies of Animation Show has been extended and is still running for another week, i was in a Star Trek tribute show at Q-Pop that seemed to come and go WAY too quickly (i neglected it here on the blog, make-up post to follow), and up next i'm excited to be a part of a Legend of Korra tribute show! I'm a HUGE fan of the original Avatar series and love watching them expand that world. So here's a preview of my piece for "I'm the Art Show, Deal With It!" hosted by PixelDrip.

(And yes, there is more to the piece than what's here!) Ticketing info for the show can be found at the gallery link above. Somewhat more practical info can be found in this blog post by show creator Bryan Konietzko (and also features a show pieces from the dangerously talented Claire Hummel)
