Girls Drawin Girls Nature PRoject

It's been a while since posting and I have joined a girls pin up drawing group called Girls Drawin' Girls. The first thing I joined is the Nature Project...I chose Osmanthus because I love the fragrance of this plant...it is intoxicating!! I can't decide which version I like....! I do know that I didn't have the time I wanted to dedicate to making it more interesting. The dress and background flowers I wanted to have be a fade over(Escher-esque) where you can't tell whether it is on the dress or the background...I have a version with her eyes open but I ended up liking the closed eye version better...just more shy and sweet like the flower...anyhoo....here it is..oh--and the bee pupae...they're white like the flower and full of the promise of life and usefulness, like the flowers of Osmanthus which is used to scent teas....I think of Osmanthus as something magical like royal jelly.....so wonderful is that fragrance...when I die, please plant an Osmanthus over my grave. I wish to be entranced by its spell for all eternity....

Mecha-Nation Comic

Hi-
I just wanted to give you a heads up for a great new comic series called Mecha-Nation. It was created by a good friend of mine, Vic Cook(of The Specatcular Spiderman fame). He teamed up with Greg Weisman, Greg Guler and Antonio Campo and the result is very cool! Congratulations Vic--may you have much success!
Have a look-see!
