Princess and the Pee

Carolyn — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 23:46:37 +0000

Wow, so I’m in a book club with the fantastic Joelle Jones, and lookit how good her art is! She drew a princess and the pea, which reminds me of the one I did a year ago. I looked for it, and only found a low quality sketch, so I did another draft.

Enjoy!

Romancing the Bitches

ooh, a swear! A new precedent. I hope you, the dear reader, is impressed by this finery I’m rolling out, in honor of the Smart Bitches who read trashy books. They do a mighty useful service over at that site, letting you know about rollicking romance novels before you ever even have to read them. The book covers that they… cover, are absolutely amazing, and I got the privilege to illustrate such trash for the upcoming book. (the watermark, a new thing for a free wheeling broad like myself, is to ensure their bought and paid for images. That’s just the quality of work we do over here in carolynmain land)

Then, for you thinkers, we have a CHALLENGING MAZE that will take you on an EPIC JOURNEY. Only the brave can survive the perils of romance. Love is a battlefield.

Also, since we are at it, who wants to see the Evolution of the leading man? I know I do.

Now, how am I qualified to bring you such silly images, you ask? I happen to have modeled for pulp novels to put myself through college.

Don’t judge.

Piranha art-i-fact

Carolyn — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 04:01:22 +0000

This is an old one. like, the Oldest. I did it years and years and years ago. Think of it as the Ceolacanth to Quickies’s Mermaids.

My Stylus has died, so new stuff? You just adjust your britches until they are comfortable enough for you to wait. For new material.

For now, just think about progress, growth, and life. And piranhas.

Marie’s tattoo

Carolyn — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 08:35:23 +0000

So, a dear friend and feisty lady, Marie De Camp, asked me to draw a tattoo design for her. Flattered? Yes. Freaked out at drawing something permanent for somebody I care about and see often? Just a bit. Here’s my first draft.

Here’s Marie and I, with all her monies. M dog has the money, see. M dog gets the honeys, see.

At the tattoo parlor, Marie sat down with me and really nailed down the specifics of her vision. It was a direct and effective way to make a revision, and I was pleased to get it Juuuuuuust right for her. It’s semi permanent, ya know! She wanted one sparrow to be male, and the other a lady. Also, she was able to specify just how dead they should be. Pretty Dang Dead, was the amount.

We decided to have the tattoo artist do the roses and banner, as Marie wanted a real traditional look, and he was a total pro. Here is the Tat stenciled on, with proper placement.

Then, Marie got stabbed for like 6 hours. Marie De CHAMP is more like it!

I was hanging around the parlor for so long, I got bored, and decided to get a little something done myself. No, not the care bear heart on my butt. I got my ears pierced. For the first time. I AM SO RADICAL! Cat was kind enough to hold my hand, and smirk at my wincing, which is also mostly smirking.

Then, after we were all hungery and tired and Cat and I had read every People and Maxim in the waiting room, Marie done got inked!
Here’s her brand new tat, a week post op. You can really see the size and scope of the thing, no foolin. It came out so good, that I don’t have to avoid Marie to not have to look at the drawings! By which I mean, By gum, I like it. More importantly, Marie does too. Next up? COLOR!
