more stuuuuuuuuufffffff


This isn't a new drawing, but it IS an old drawing that I did new things to!





I'm really happy with how this turned out...It's up for grabs at Etsy. This thing was fun to make. It has real screentone and everything!




I put up some other stuff on Etsy, too. I like this drawing, even though it's got funny wonky stuff going on.



This weird experimental drawing is there too:




The inks I put up are gone now, but there are more on the way! I think I'm gonna have two more batches, then I'll have run out of my older inks.

I know all this business crap is getting boring. But I'm gonna post fun stuff soon, I promise!! Also, some people asked questions on my last post, and I will respond tomorrow, when I'm less tired!

Thanks eveyrone!!

More drawings for sale!


***UPDATE!***


More inks are up on my Etsy store!!- I hope you'll check it out!


Also- I'm not crazy about posting these here, but since Luke already let the cat out of the bag in the Dumm Comics news section, I might as well. Anytime I sell something, I do a little "thank you" sort of drawing to go along with it. I've done a bunch of them, but here are some examples.



Oh yeah, inks and drawings get a girl doodle, and if you buy a print you get a Skadi doodle.

(I used to personalize these 'thank you' drawings, until I realized that some people buy stuff under their spouse's or parents' names...oops...)


Nothing too special, but I like them ok (I wouldn't send someone a drawing I didn't like myself)...although it kind of takes the fun out of getting a secret surprise by announcing it here. >__<;

OH I suppose I ought to post the inks that are up for sale...here they are:

(See more detailed scans/photos of these on the Etsy store)

ALSO!! If you are someone who was kind enough to get something from my Etsy store, and are reading this now, thank you!! I just started shipping drawings and prints out on Saturday. There was a little bit of a delay, because the first tubes I bought for shipping the prints were terrible. Then I had some tard moments trying to figure out how to combine certain items to be shipped. Finally I started to figure it out, but the world's most boring parade HAD to be doing it's thing in Burbank that day, blocking my way to the shipping supply store.


CURSES

Anyhow, I just want to let you know that I'm trying hard to get everything shipped out safely, and I'm sending them out as fast as I can. Thanks for your patience!

P.S. I hope you guys like the doodles ok- I am actually pretty out of practice right now when it comes to just drawing girls out of my head. :)

Updates!

I'm really excited! Two weeks from now, May 6th, the first of me and Luke's new 6-part Skadi story goes up on Dumm Comics. Here's a quick sneak-peek:



The reason I'm excited is because while our last longer Skadi story (The Red Menace) was almost entirely Luke's idea, this new one is one of mine. I tried a lot of new things that I'm not very used to, but I hope you guys will enjoy it all the same! I'll be back in May to talk more about it!

ALSO!!!

Skadi prints are selling fast! Click here to see!



I was really sort of surprised to see how nice the prints came out, and how they were recieved...so I'm going to do a couple non-Skadi ones, and see if they sell.

SO!!! I need some opinions from people on what kind of things they would like to see printed up all purdy. I grabbed a few that I thought might look nice as prints, but I dunno really yet. What would you guys want to see made into prints?




P.S. I'm working on one print idea that is coming out pretty cool...I got the idea from Jesse, who suggested selling some post-it doodles a couple posts ago! I'll put it up when its done and see what other people think!

The times they are a-changing


***UPDATE!!***


Skadi prints are now for sale at my Etsy shop! 50 matte-finish, 11 x 17 cardstock prints featuring Skadi displaying her usual barbarism! Luke and I are signing and numbering them each. Go check it out! Other prints, as well as more inks will be for sale shortly!



This print is a splash page from one of our 5-part Skadi stories, called "The Red Menace." To see the story, click HERE!

OK back to the original post...

Well, the economy sucks, jobs are getting scarcer, and while I'm lucky to have one, who knows where I might end up when this season on "Mighty B" ends. It's a time to start SAVING UP! And that means digging up old art and making new pictures to sell!!

Funnily enough, it's always at times of economic panic and personal stress that the desire to take on huge, unrealistic side-projects comes about...the kinds of projects that take up your free time, push you to your limits, shake your confidence, and require more than a little personal funding.

SO ANYHOW!!! I need to save up money, so please visit my store!



I'm selling some framed stuff for once! I really like how this turned out...it was a pain in the butt process...I inked the drawing in Flash, then printed it out, marker colored it, cut it out (that was the 'pain in the butt' part), mounted it on patterned paper, then went back and inked over it to make it pretty. They turned out nice though, you really can't tell they were cut out very well at all.

Here's a scan that's easier to see:



This one is the same process:



If these manage to sell, I'll be making lots more- they're really fun!


Here's a marker doodle that's been floating around in my house for a while now, it's time it went to a better home! Don't you wish you had those socks? I'm pretty sure they don't exist, surely buying this drawing is the next best thing (har har har).



I've got 30 or so inks from 2002-2003 that I'm selling, but I'm only selling a few at first (gotta see how Etsy works first). Most of them will be in the $15-30 range. I never intended for people to see these inks, as they were done somewhat haphazardly for a sketchbook I wanted to produce with a coworker, so some of them have white out or small smudges. Nothing too noticeable, but I don't want to disappoint any potential buyers.







Ok!! Thanks for looking, sorry there's not much that's new, other than the very first drawing.

My store address is easy to remember! www.funnycute.etsy.com

There's a link to it on my sidebar now, so you can check for updates anytime (hint hint).

UuU

Etsy store is coming!



My Etsy store is coming on Monday!
Check back Monday for a link to the sales, and for more info!

I'm not putting everything all up at once, but I will have lots of variety in mediums and prices.


Finished experimental stuff (maybe even framed)!





Original ink and marker pictures!






Old inks for cheap!




So!! Come back Monday to see what's for sale! Also, every drawing sold gets a copy of "Sugar and Spice," the sketchbook I made a million years ago with Robert Ryan Cory. If this goes well I'll keep putting stuff up every now and then.

Also, if you do decide you might want to buy a drawing, make sure you read up on all the details! Not every drawing is in pristine condition- some have white-out or small creases in the paper. I wouldn't want anyone to be disappointed!

P.S. Thanks to those who left me kind comments on my last post, as you can see I didn't publish them, but I read and appreciated them just the same.

Phony time


IMPOSTOR ALERT!!!

Hey, if you get a weird or ugly message from me on your blog, it isn't me, it's just someone posing.

It's easy to check- there can only be one funnycute blog, so if the blog attached to the weird comments isn't mine, then you'll know it a scam. I'm grateful that the people who alerted me to this all knew it wasn't me!

Sorry there's no drawings, I'm still swamped at work. New stuff soon though, I hope!

Thanks everyone!
