French Arthur
Thursday, August 31st, 2017
French Arthur, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
For this second set, my patron wanted an artist Eames since we have so many writing/working emoji (and we have a LOT). Neither of us could resist the idea of Arthur in the “draw me like one of your French girls” meme pose, so that became the model. No logic explains why I drew them backwards on the page, though, sigh.
Whatever it is you need to be encouraged to do, Arthur’s telling you to go for it.
These are drawn as close to a square aspect ratio as possible, so that they work as emoji on Slack. Their adorable 2-head-high chibi style conveys a lot of personality in a tiny space.

Before His First Cup

Before His First Cup, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
There’s yet more Slack emoji this week!
We do a lot of sprinting or Pomodoro or 20/10s or whatever you want to call them on our Slack channel, where a group of people write or draw or work or clean for a set time period and come back and cheer each other on for their progress. Q is adding to the amazing variety of emoji we have for signalling the start of those sprints, and Bond is just there to provide tea.
After all, Q can do more damage in his pyjamas before his first cup of Earl Grey than Bond can do in a year, if he puts his mind to it.

The Lovely Tree
Friday, August 4th, 2017
The Lovely Tree, 4″x8″ watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
Beautiful baby-blue blossoms adorn this tree, in contrast to the baby-pink glow of the sunset in the background. Hints of falling petals dot the sky, and barely-seen branches peek through the flowers here and there.
Pulling inspiration from the colors of the trans pride flag, this tree stands tall and proud in support of all the trans people in and out of the military, brave enough to live their truth despite the many obstacles.

Above, you can see the loose, natural details of watercolor overlapping like flower petals, and below the piece is in a temporary frame, waiting to be planted in its permanent home.

Dancing Dalek
Tuesday, July 25th, 2017
Dancing Dalek, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Feeling in a party mood? Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate!
This dancing Dalek is perhaps also a bit drunk, as he meanders through the world ordering others to join in his celebration. Perfect for birthday festivities, or any other excuse you might have to, well, you know.
I have, of course, made it into a card! It’s blank inside, but I admit I was thinking of birthdays when I drew it.

Sadboy and the Knob

Sadboy & the Knob, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I’ve got Slack emoji once again! My darling fellow fans have been eager to populate the chat with the full cast of Inception. Cobb the Knob, as he’s affectionately known, is giving his famous squint that launched a thousand memes. Poor Fischer is crying over his pinwheel and daddy issues, looking very sad indeed.
I feel like there’s some kind of Britpunk band waiting to happen here with the art title, but that might just be the urge to see Robert Fischer looking anything but heartbroken for a second.
These are drawn as close to a square aspect ratio as possible, so that they work as emoji on Slack. Their adorable 2-head-high chibi style conveys a lot of personality in a tiny space.

Geronimo

Geronimo! 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Finally, I’ve finished the third of my commission series I’m calling All the Doctors. My patron’s been very patient with the pace on these!
The eleventh Doctor has belatedly* arrived in his finery, all decked out with his tweed coat and watch chain and the whole later seasons getup. He’s got a different waistcoat, shirt, and tie on than in the promo photos, which I referenced from stills out of the show. I particularly like the polka dots on the bowtie — what’s your favorite detail?
*but not 11 years late
