Much Love Monday: Reading is an Adventure
Lincoln Park Home Architecture Print
Inspired by the beautiful homes of Lincoln Park, Chicago
I really love my finished Lincoln Park Historic Home drawing. There is something so satisfying about drawing architecture. And I love drawing all the beautiful historic places in my city. Especially because so many are being torn down. It’s like a little piece of history in my hand. I hope you’re all sharing some Chicago love today 💖🌆💖
New Logos!
I’ve been wanting to boost my portfolio because some of it’s pretty old and it feels pretty lacking. So I asked some friends to give me their businesses or to even make one up and I would do a logo for them!
Much Love and Some Art
It’s much love Monday, but I also worked on an illustration today that I actually kind of love!
I figured that since I’m a bodacious babe who hopes that she can get to the beach this summer even though it may not happen at all, I figured I’d draw a bodacious babe who also wants to go to the beach this summer but can fulfill her dream because she is fiction.
More art in 2020!
I really want this to manifest as my own Roarin’ Twenties, and the #1 way im doing it is DOING MY ART!
And I am honestly off to a great start, as I have honestly started and completed more art in this first week of 2020 than I have in all of 2019!
What I am working on this week is an illustration i started YEARS ago but am now determined to finish.
This is an illustration of my second apartment in Chicago, in Logan Square. I live here from 2014-2017, and i have very happy times here.  I loved this apartment so much, and I loved the people that came and went and life that happened inside. I think of this apartment often, I think of becoming the person I am since moving here in 2012.
LAST MEALS Post Card
I just completed a mini poster (post card size) that i was working on this summer.
I am apart of some amazing True Crime groups and they inspire me everyday to be my self, and stay sexy and not get murdered.
The mini-poster shows the infamous last meals of 6 murders and serial killers, chosen not because of the person but the meal they requested.
The story goes that Aileen Wuernos, murdered 7 men in Florida, didn’t believe she was actually going to die the following day, so she asked for a simple cup of coffee.
Victor Feguer, kidnapped and murdered a Doctor, asked for a single solitary olive.
Velma Barfield, poisoned 5-7 people, asked for coke and CHEESE DOODLES, NOT Cheetos, CHEESE DOODLES – because she was clearly a psychopath.
John Wayne Gacy, a living monster, murdered 33+. He owned a KFC franchise, and asked for a bucket of original recipe for his last meal, along with cocktail shrimp and a pound of strawberries.
Timothy Mcveigh, who’s evil deeds shaped my generation, killed 168 people. He ate two pints of mint chocolate chip icecream.
Ted Bundy. murdered 14 women, possibly more. He refused to give a last meal request so was actually given the traditional Steak and Eggs meal, with a side of toast hashbrowns and milk. However, Bundy didn’t touch any of it, meaning his actual last meal was a casual lunch of a burrito and rice with a salad.
S’amore recent portraits AND a NSFW comic!
These are both recent portraits i did as gifts for friends – just showing all of you that you can fo portraits for any occasions!!!!!
