For #musicwomenwednesday , I want to highlight Gladys Bentley, an American #blues singer, #pianist, and entertainer during the Harlem Renaissance.
I drew and foiled this #portrait as a part of a series of 18 #portraits that I #donated to the SF LGBT Center last year, highlighting #lgbtq icons from past and present.
I love my work as an illustrator. I also love my work as a pet-sitter. I absolutely love it when my two jobs collide.
This is a pencil portrait I drew for a pet-sit client.
Pet portraits can be commissioned through my Etsy store, click the link below to order yours (hurry spots are limited)
Image of the day is Spiky, an in-camera double exposure on film.

Near me there are no cacti large enough that I can use them for textures. On a business trip to Berlin in March, I found a couple of hours to check the Botanical Garden and the desert glasshouse there had these amazing cacti. This is one of the images that came out of it.
Today at the hawker centre, there was a little girl who drew my portrait! I’m so impressed! She captured my bun with hairclips in it, she captured my bangs and the locks of hair I have in the front, framing my face. She captured my striped T-shirt and the face mask I had on my wrist. She captured the peace sign I made in the picture we had just taken. She even drew a cat for me! How did she know I loved cats‽
I decided to sculpt this guy as a single mesh, instead of the usual blocking out with separate primitives. Then I separated the shirt once that was sufficiently shaped.
