Tara. Ottawa, Canada. My bones are black liquorice covered with a pink sugar candy coating.
So far all the art posted is my own.
This is how so many of my simple, fun little paintings go. From blank panel to nearly finished in three days (November 2012) and then…it sits on a shelf until I finish and varnish the final (April 2013). I am not proud of being a procrastinator, but I am a procrastinator.
Answer:
For super clean vector stuff: Pencil sketch, scan, alter sketch in Photoshop, import into Illustrator, do the art stuff one one million layers, export to Photoshop for layout stuff. Not the most streamlined, but its how I do it.
For other digital stuff: Pencil sketch, scan, Photoshop for the rest.
I am a traditional painter really, I can never draw roughs digitally. They are always tight and wobbly and terrible.

I just updated this dude’s face a bit. I think the world needed a big sticker that tells people you don’t like things.

So I got all bundled up and headed downtown to the WinterBrewed festival on Saturday. I love me some craft beer but the lineups were seriously ridiculous. Stand in the cold for 30 minutes (in order to drink cold beer in the cold)? No. thanks.
I took this so… does this count as reblogging something other than my art? Milestone!
Super slowly adding stuff to my redbubble.
You can buy stuff.
My “regular Day” design is on the front page of redbubble today. Which is super neat. I made this iphone wallpaper type thingy with it. So you can buy a t-shirt, poster or sticker or you can just enjoy it for free and laugh at me in a mean way.
The last Black Books episode I watched had the best chalkboard message ever in history. I am going to steal this idea and make a million.
