First year since, like, 4th grade that I’ve handed out valentines.

No regrets.

(Oh my glob, I’m sooo unoriginal… the only original concept out of all of these is the first one. )

These are too cute! Keep drawing!

Truth hurts, man
(You can choose between this clean, scanned version or the crappy picture I took on my phone!)

Ahoy, holiday shoppers and collectors of fine webcomics paraphernalia: I have 10 Marceline and the Scream Queens #5 variant covers up for sale on Etsy RIGHT NOW. They are $30 each, include one of 10 original Adventure Time sketch cards, and shipping is FREE (in the US and Canada).

Thank you all for your patience - I hope to have more in the coming weeks, but nothing is certain! CLICK!

lol but no srsly wat da fuq is this …..?!??!?????

A quick tutorial, now REBLOGGABLE. But it only works on a Mac:

Open iMovie. Make a video using your webcam/iSight using the camcorder button. Trim it to the size you want. Then choose “Share > Export using Quicktime” from the toolbar and you’ll get a box with some options. Pick these:

Export: Movie to Quicktime Movie
Use: Broadband - High (you can select lower settings! Keep in mind the lower the quality, the longer the gif you can make. I cap out at about 3 seconds long.)

This saves your file as a .mov. From here, open Photoshop and click on File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. I usually select the option “Limit to Every 2 Frames”. You can get fancy here, like using the Window > Animation panel to change the frame speed to 0.6/second instead of 0.3 or 0.4, but pretty much all you need to do from there is Chose File > Save For Web & Devices, select your file type as a .gif and play with the settings to make it look right. Generally, if your file size is too high, reduce the number of colours (to 64 or 32) or play with the Lossy slider.

Remember, tumblr won’t load gifs over 1mb or 500 pixels wide.

Then, if you want to insert the image into a text post (let’s say, a response to an ask) without it becoming a grey box, here’s how:

Open a tumblr window, and make a new text post. Above the Post box, to the right, click the ‘+ Upload Photo’ button. Select the gif you’ve made. When it uploads, click the HTML button and find the image address. It should start with http://media.tumblr.com. Once you have that address, you can insert it in any post as a URL image! Cool, huh?!

Have fun! It takes practice!

Hai guyz
I haven’t been art-ing because I am stupid sick and working my way through Downton Abbey while sneezing my brains out and trying to get all my prints packaged up - I’m way behind.
In the meantime, here are some blogs that are infinitely more interesting than mine and sure to entertain you until my triumphant return:
realfun-funeral provides you with gifs, ghosts, ghouls and girls
sydsymbiote shares punks, princesses, prints and possible porn
ryan-a is the fantastic artist behind Sarah and the Seed, his sketchbooks floor me
stephbuscema just got a tumblr, thank goodness for that
henrytheworst is really the best - neat animated drawings of pop culture stuff
vampirestatebuilding won me over with her clever tumblr name and posts of anything weird / neon / surreal
beardcakes is of a similar ilk, so much good / weird / spooky imagery
alisketch is a fantastic artist, her work reminds me of the opening sequence to Monsters, Inc
and of course:

mylittlenestofvipers has all the fetish photography, fashions and femme fatales you could ask for (and clearly, I’m pretty into it)
nikinapalm draws fawn girls and posts many photos of her gorgeous self
burntlobster is not for the faint of heart, but if you like some messed up art by a stand-up dude, go for it
girlandoctopi is half eyeballs and bones, half fashion and self-portrait pictures, all wonderful (with lots of letterpress & screenprinting goodies)
lovewillfuckusapart has great taste in music & various inspiration images (plus a shared love of Lemony Snicket)
gerrycleary loves Batman more than you do
autostraddle posts sexy girls, sexy girls-on-girls, sexy questions and sexy answers to those questions
fileacomplaint keeps me up to date on pop culture gifs and general badassery
albinwonderland only hits last in this list because I don’t want to be a dork by constantly liking her posts, I know EVERYONE DOES, she’s famous. You probably already follow her, but if not, just do it.

Phew. So, go exploring. There are hundreds I’ve missed, but I’ll get ‘em. I’ll be back when typing stops making me dizzy.

An appreciation post for some of my favourite ladies of tumblr: Katie, Noelle, Aimee, Megan, Betty and Angelina. A party I wish I existed!
Some notes: Katie always draws herself with blue hair, so I followed suit. Noelle would drink that much coffee. I love how Aimee draws leg hair on everyone and I like to imagine that she’s constantly tanned. Megan likes wine. I haven’t seen Betty or Angelina draw themselves, so I had to take some artistic liberties.
Inspiration!

#books  #the night circus  #tumblr  #followers 
Current reading material. I never read books without pictures anymore and every time I forget how much I love them. I’m a sucker for the circus and the warm, glowy feeling that comes from the combination of acrobats, mysteries, magic, incandescent lights and funhouse mirrors. I love it. This book is delectable. Pure, bedazzled escapism.

I love books.

Incidentally, I passed 6,500 followers the other day. I can’t express how thankful I am, but know that I appreciate it SO much, and I should have a new print out soon! A throwback to one of my first comics…
