Hi Sean Wiig, thank you. I want to have depth... depths. Rather than just churning out yet more visual matter to confuse the world's optical cortex and makes things incrementally more meaningless.
I want to see these in person! your stuff reminds me...but only vaguely of Claire Wendling...maybe it's the crazy almost haphazard yet deliberate line work... so pretty!
You know, I think the John K stuff has made your drawings look more solid. Maybe it's just this particular batch.... but they look abstract, yet solid.
Here is a humble offering of pictures and punchy wordlets. I am a mother of one little girl. There is no more wordlumber, no more sitting on the hill contemplating, a lot more stepping on lego. I still think I'm quite good at drawing though

I wish I could see your drawing process in person!
These are great! Yer stuff's got depth! It's like rough fine art! (thats an oxymoron I think)
The beardy one is on paper made of bananas.
Hi Sean Wiig, thank you. I want to have depth... depths. Rather than just churning out yet more visual matter to confuse the world's optical cortex and makes things incrementally more meaningless.

Augh these are so cool. envy envy, more envy. Go go Chloe go! You're on a roll! :)
Do you do SD Comic Con at all? We're going this year if you wanna meet up and chill
You know, I think the John K stuff has made your drawings look more solid. Maybe it's just this particular batch.... but they look abstract, yet solid.
I love it!

Thanks Nico
Oh bum... I should really stump up for a US comic con one of these days.
I want a camera that films in time lapse!
I'd say... cartoons are abstract yet solid.
I am toiling over careful studies of Yogi Bear, it's trying but it must get one somewhere
Spooky!
It'll be great to see the Yogi studies. The WB drawings that you did, that were on John K's blog were great.
