Tribute to Armanda

My fellow Scribble Nerd had a dear friend pass away. Here's my piece to honor Armanda.

In Memoriam of Armanda

May her smile now warm the heavens as it did here on earth.

throwback to good days

this is a throwback from my sketchbook around September of 2 years ago. It was one of many rarer good days and we spent it eating crepes, sipping pumpkin lattes and makin' a sketch for a friend. The cafe is La Petite Triangle.

Weekly Challenge SPECIAL: Remembering Armanda McCafferty 11/30/84-11/05/14

Hey folks, this is your fellow scribble nerd Ashley here taking over for Dee this week to bring you a very special challenge: my best friend Armanda.
Armanda has been my best friend for a little over 10 years and after fighting a very miserable and painful illness for the last 5 she finally let go and passed away Wednesday morning.

It's difficult for me to find things to say about her that don't sound like some cliche Hallmark card.
She was one of the truest, goodest, most kind hearted people I've ever met. She valued every single person she ever knew. Even through some of her darkest times she still put on a smile and tried to make the day brighter for the people who cared for her both in and out of the hospital. Her good nature was infectious even to a hardened asshole like me.
We used to joke often about how conflicting our natures were and how by all means we shouldn't be friends, but ended up with a bond closer than most sisters.  Not a day went by when I visited, despite the pain she was in, where she didn't inquire about my well-being or what new things I had going with my art projects.

Well babe, now you're one of 'em.
It's not much, but I hope I can at least honor the memory of you and all you've done for me.

Thank you Scribble Nerds, my friends, for putting pencil to paper and helping out a nerd in need.

(All challenges will be put up on display during Friday's wake)

Deadpool: Anti-hero/Anti-Bully

So, I love Deadpool.

A LOT of people love Deadpool for a MULTITUDE of reasons. But the reason I love Deadpool, the reason I think despite his antihero status he represents this sticker just as well as any Avenger, is that at the heart of him is a guy that wants to see the good guys win. A guy with incredibly low self esteem and a lot of hidden vulnerability due to his abusive childhood and living with a disfiguring illness whose favorite hero is Spiderman. Who fanboys out at the chance to team up with the X-Men. Whose one true love is Bea friggin' Arthur.
He's got layers, and ones I think readers of all ages and especially bullied kids can identify with.

Also he breaks the fourth wall and that's, like, hella cool.

HELLA

oh look at that, more HELLA RAD stuff at my blog!

Kaiju + Drax got back

Hey citizens! Ashley here playing catch up from last week so you get two goodies today!

last week was Guardians of the Galaxy and I scribbled a bootylicious Drax for ya during Drink N Draw:

jury's still out though on whether that crack is whack

this week is "Kaiju" or monster and my original sketch is a throw back now updated digitally with some bangin' color! I remember watching a documentary on PBS one time about the human brain and how it interprets images. What was really interesting is how the brain can't stand or is deeply unnerved by even the slightest discrepancy in normal facial features.

I think about that a lot sometimes

so here's a funny drawing about that!

name me ONE good taco joint in France

as always swing by my blarrrgh for more weird stuff!

Kiki's F#@!in Delivery Service

throw back tuesday!

that's  how you do it, right?
whatev.

This week's theme is Japan, so here's a scribble I did a while ago for Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service, a cute story about a witch coming of age that I've somehow taken and displaced into the world of a Cohen Brothers movie where sometimes people are monsters and terrible things happen with absolutely no rhyme or reason and karmic justice is a farce.

Get it together, kid

Never done any Mario stuff before, but is there a less unsung couple than Luigi and Daisy? Yoshi and Birdo maybe, but I'm not touchin that crazy mess.
So here is their love legitimized in the style of a trashy romance novel cover.
