Best Part of the Movie!

Before I saw Guardians of the Galaxy wednesday, I was going to draw a full team action illustration, but then I saw the movie and fell in love with:

The whole movie was great and all, but you can't beat a baby tree dancing to Jackson 5. Nope. No way. 

Be prepared for some more GOTG fan art coming soon! 

AWESOME MIX VOL. 1

Guardians of the Galaxy is now one of my top favorite movies of all time. All of the characters were great, but I liked Star-Lord, Peter Quill, the most. This piece captures one of my favorite scenes in the movie with Peter singing, "Come and Get Your Love," from his Awesome Mix Vol. 1 tape. I hope you enjoy my first contribution to the Scribble Nerds. I really had fun with this week's theme, Guardians of the Galaxy.

I am Groot!

Groot has found a special place in my heart. I get the feeling that the lovable dummy is making far more profound statements with his "I am Groot"s than we are lead to believe.

Rocket Raccoon

Enjoy some Rocket.  He's a total bad-ass and I love 'em to bits!

Gunnm.

The first manga I ever read was "Battle Angel Alita" (Gunnm).  I was still pretty into western superhero comics when I was 15/16 but that all changed when I started hanging out at the library. Around that time Manga was just really starting to pop up more in the US and the library that I frequent had  a pretty good collection. Since I was already into Cowboy Bebop and Akira animes, I went hunting for  mangas and I wasn't let down.

Battle Angel  was full of sci-fi, violence and chaos, all lead by a sweet faced cyborg. It was glorious.

So here are a few sketches of Alita. I'm going to put these through illustrator but couldn't in time for this challenge! In time though!

Street fashion at it's finest

I have to admit, I kind of have a little thing for fashion, especially street fashion. I used to get Shojo Beat magazine as a kid and every once in a while they would do a feature on Japanese street fashion. Before the days of fashion blogs and trend trackers, these articles were the best part of the magazine. I instantly fell in love with the incredibly unique fashions of the Shibuya and Harajuku districts.

A lot of what I absorbed from those photos informed how I dress even to this day. The whimsical mixing and matching of patterns, textures, silhouettes, and materials is addictive. With a few exceptions of the more strict subcultures, a lot of the fashion I like comes with the "I wear what I want" vibe. Crazy random pieces come together to make a cohesive look. As Dee said to me once, "The don't give a fuck attitude is an accessory all it's own."
