from blogs to tumbles

I've got a tumblr now. Everybody has one and now I have one, too. I like it so far--posting images is much easier than it is here on blogger.
New work is going to live there, including the first issue of a comic I've been working on. Check it out, if you're interested!

It's the annual Kelly family Xmas card!

Ho ho ho!

A new gig poster for Market Live. Come by and check this one out, Philly pals, it's gonna be a great show.

So I did a little "Badass Heroines of Action Movies" double-feature with Alien and The Terminator, and ended up with some creepy portraits of Ripley and Sarah Connor:

OK, they don't really look that good, but I hope you enjoy anyway. Happy Thanksgiving folks!

drawings about fun shit

So my favorite recent projects are for two very special events: First up, a gig poster Market Live's weekly open mic. It was incredibly fun to draw that old toothless man.

I'm also stoked to be doing the save-the-dates and invitations for the upcoming nuptials of my dear lovely friends Bethany and Lou. Congratulations you crazy kids!!

My poor blog has been very badly neglected lately, but I've got lots of new work to show you all. Keep an eye out here for updates!

Your pal,

Sue

WHEW

The applications have been submitted and the weekend celebration has long been over! Now to distract myself during the deliberation period so I don't bite my nails off (gross). So let's have some new art in the mean time, starting with this year's Kelly Family Xmas card:




Hope you like!

a work in progress

Dear friends:
In T-minus ten days, I'll have submitted all my grad school applications. Following that I'll relax for a day or two, and then update the blog with all the new stuff I've been working on (I promise it's happening!!!). In the mean time, enjoy a teaser for a new work-in-progress:

scrambled eggs

Gotta make eggs with butter! And that's a George Harrison poster in the background--now I want this poster for real. :P
Also, I tweaked the colors a bit on the last foodie comic:
I can't believe it's Thursday already! Gotta get back to work!!
Your pal,

cumin!!

Cumin is a great spice, so I made a comic about it!
Kind regards,
Sue

quran editorial

My brother, Ted--an awesome dude studying Spanish and Arabic--is working on an essay examining the Quran as a piece of literature, so I was inspired to do an illustration for it. Hope you guys like it!

P.S.: If you were to mix the respective looks of these two environments in the background, you'd pretty much get my dream house. :D

chicken salad!

Last week I came up with a pretty sweet recipe for chicken salad! So, naturally, I decided to immortalize it with a pretty girl in the colors of my mom's new-kitchen-in-progress. Hope you dudes like it. :)
Kind regards,
Sue

happy november!

First of a series of four I'm working on--just a little bit of fun and an excuse to draw some art nouveau-esque patterns. Hope you find it fun too!

queen of birds

Here she is, all done... But now I feel like she needs an environment to get comfortable, sooooo gotta get to work on that!
It's Thursday morning, hope you have a marvelous day!
Your pal,
Sue

look, i can still vector!

^before
^after!

Decided to mess around with the pen tool in Photoshop a little bit yesterday, here's the result. It was actually a LOT of fun to work with that little gadget again--makes me wanna dust off my copy of Illustrator, hmmm....

Aaaand just in case you thought I was off the highly-rendered-pencil-work-with-digital-coloring kick, here's this thing I've been working on, too. Colors are subject to change pretty much immediately after I post this and get back to work.:


Last night I had Nick's Roast Beef!!!! If you ever find yourself in Delco give me a call so we can go to Nick's. A++++
