Back to Print

A friend of mine runs a local self-publishing company called Back to Print and last month came out with a wonderful zine collection of stories about FAMILY.  I was asked to do a few illustrations to accompany the stories!

This is one of the drawings inspired by a story of a dad who started feeding wild animals in the back yard.

Im pretty proud; it was the first time i was able to draw BIRDS!

If you live in the Chicago area, stop by Quimby’s to pick up a copy, or one of Back to Print’s other great creations!

 

My First Reading!

Yo Chicagoans, the few of you I know – I was invited to read Empty Bed at the monthly TWO COOKIE MINIMUM.  I am very excited to be apart of this month’s All Female Showcase – it’s gonna be rad!

 

Sexy poses, Robots, and ROLLER DERBY

I still don’t have my stupid scanner because i had to send it back for a new one that actually WORKED…

So im afraid you get photos … AGAIN…   >:/

A few years ago (two?)  i went to a Dr. Sketchy event in Grand Rapids that was featuring the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls as the models, and last night i went to Dr. Sketchy here in White River that featured the Upper Valley Vixens as models

COMPARE AND CONTRAST

this one won me a prize of two free SHOTS

"ray charles" was the name given to me by Dr. Sketchy (get it ... cause my names Rachel?) mmyeah....

OK so… here’s last nights – 2012:

Upon review, i’ve concluded two things are true:

1.  That I can’t draw live models

2.  I think my drawing skills have DEcreased

In my defense last night’s were only five minutes each…
