Two more for the Into The Woods set. (And I post in the order they were drawn, not the order of the chapters. Just... FYI. Like it matters.)

I feel like at this point it's mostly pointless/redundant to state just how completely I employ the term "loosely based upon", but for posterity. VERY. VERY LOOSELY BASED UPON.

Strums straw into gold and doles out free relationship advice.



The Pea Episode


Zombie princes are the best princes.
Artistic license blah blah excuse to draw creepy veiny organ-chair blah.



and night comes to Tallahassee


This just sort of happened while I was listening to Oceanographer's Choice on repeat. John Darnielle writes some of my most very favorite words.

thorns

for manipulant. again.
part two of the into the woods illustration endeavor.
when i have all of them finished, i'll do a separate post and maybe i'll even list them in order. shock and awe.

scarves

i really, really wanted to draw some scarves. oh and yeah, that's a dude. just a super-girly one. i don't think i've drawn an actual female figure since sometime in early 2010. we aren't counting the baywatch thing.

a whole garden, a whole storm

yet more author-inspired, after jukeboxghost's hey, gravity!.
i think i listened to that panic!/fun. song c'mon about seventy times during.
once in awhile, i just need some incandescent joy.
There’s a whole garden blooming inside his chest, curling around his ribcage, queasy shiver of strings in his belly when they’re alone together, champagne rush of nervous anticipation that he’s content to just bask in.

lake without boats

my enduring love affair with lake michigan. it endures.
and i really like drawing my own shoes.

second-to-last afternoon

for manipulant on livejournal.
loosely based around her into the woods anachronistic fairytale extravaganza, and now the first in a series for the same story.
this marks the beginning of my allegiance. i fell hard, i fell fast, and she's a huge enabler. goodbye, free time. i love my life.

sunshine machine

i had w.a.m.s. stuck in my head for like, two weeks. meanwhile, a.e. was showing me all these alexander mcqueen fashion show videos, and there was this jacket. followed by a need to draw a whole fuckton of paisley.

dear gravity

...and then w.a.m.s. was replaced with tiffany blews, and all i could think of was "dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city".
