Pineapple print

I've been working on some fun, summery prints with fruit and plants. The only one I've finished so far is this watercolor pineapple print. I made it in 4 different colors, the same pineapples but with different colored backgrounds. This pillow is currently on sale!

Redrawing a thing I did earlier.

I did a version of this earlier that I didn't like as much, so I redid it. I also updated the image in my Society6 shop. It looks nice on a pillow!

Chalk lettering

I've been playing around with chalk pens on various chalkboards. Hand-lettering seems a lot more fun when chalkboards are involved.

The Gifted Bunheads

I did not realize that the actress who played Melanie from Bunheads was going to be Polaris in the new X-Men show. I made a new gif trailer for it in celebration.

The first batch, the voting ends on the 15th, the second batch starts on the 15th. That said, you don't really need to vote, I like sharing them because I had a lot fun with them.

BIP  finished his “Vintage” mural of 91 year old Emma in downtown Oakland  rocking to a surprising choice of music genre.

Emma’s zest for life is infectious. Watch videos of Emma on BIP Instagram.

BIP resides in the SF Bay Area. This is his 2nd spray mural here. Visit his website to see his art that has been created in a variety of media. http://www.bipgraffiti.com

This mural is *amazing* in person. It’s worth checking out if you’re on your way to the Fox, it’s only a block or two away.

“Sorry Burr, I gotta go - Decisions are happening over dinner.” 

After seeing the post last week with the Hamilton POP figure, I decided to give myself a crash course in POP figure mods. So here we have my HamilPOPs - more to come in the upcoming weeks.

Picked up all of the Fierce Rocker dolls at Toys R Us in Emeryville, CA. They’re so cute!! I love the art on the packaging, as usual.

Since I’m freelance I’m often looking for new gigs. Or even a permanent thing. I think this Pillow Fort industry shows real promise.

Looking for cosplayers to interview at DragonCon 2015

Hey there! My name is Laurenn McCubbin, and I am an artist currently living and working in Columbus Ohio, and a professor at Columbus College of Art and Design. I also do a little design work for the awesome people at Milkfed Criminal Masterminds.

I am going to be attending DragonCon this year, and I’d like to interview cosplayers for a new project. These will be documentary style interviews, probably lasting about 15 minutes or so, and I am especially interested in talking to female cosplayers of all ages, as well as anyone who does cross-play.  If you are interested in what kind of work I do, you can see some examples of my past video work. I also do paintings as part of my documentary practice, and here are a couple of those:

I am hoping to schedule interviews over the next 2 weeks, ahead of the con. You can email me at [email protected], and let me know if you have any questions. or if you’d like to set up a time to chat!

My husband doesn’t believe me that shaving your legs is difficult and time consuming. So long story short he is about to shave his legs for the first time.

[geekandmisandry]

Update: he is part way through one leg and regretting his decision. I got him to switch from his men’s razor to my woman razor (his is for face shaving) and it’s going slightly better.

He is hating shaving his legs. HATING it.

[geekandmisandry]

Update:

My husband from the shower: how many notes does your post have?

Me: roughly one for every YEAR you have been in that shower!

[geekandmisandry]

Update:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

He says it was ridiculous and he can’t imagine having to do it again in a few days time, it’s much harder than shaving his face (he had previously claimed they would be abut the same). He says he feels he has learned a lesson!

Edit: He also pulled a muscle while shaving his legs! He said it was like exercise. “Yoga in the shower with razors” indeed!

[geekandmisandry]

Update: he has been rubbing his legs together in bed for ten minutes.

Hahahahahahaha.
