nerd JERK - A Human Awesomeness Advocate

While aiming to show you the hands behind the brand, I'd like to introduce you to some other elements in my creative lifestyle: creative consulting, comics and other nerdy type stuff.

6 Best Things I Read About Beer

Fat stacks (of #books for research). And yes, I'm eclectic in my choices for one book. #showmeyourstack (at Nampa, Idaho)

#goodnewseverybody! I'm opening up my #smallbiz #consulting to new #creative folks I know! It's part of my identity as Human #Awesomeness Advocate. Watch for more #HAA posts in the future & check out this screenshot for my #ebook #editor's plan!

I feel ready to learn secrets on how to fine tune the #plot to the new #comic I'm working on. Let's do this!

@knit_picks nailed it, too! #repost of deep #yarn knowledge dropped by #grumpycat today.

#latergram from yesterday depicting my tired, overachieving smile after I worked my ass off all week & started seeing the fruits of my labours. I used to be a #creative #smallbiz entrepreneur & I thoroughly enjoyed it! I love(d) making new business owners & #freelancers feel confident about working toward their #business #goals. So I started up my side hustle while planning my relaunch for the new incarnation of #nerdjerk. #REALTALK - I'm functioning on 3-5 hrs of sleep since we brought Ellie home, not because he won't sleep (he's incredible & well trained - thank you, NICU!), but because I feel a responsibility to him. I want him to grow up seeing his #mom working hard, helping others and making it closer & closer to her dreams. So this is my face; I'd better #werk!

Something a little different in style and going more high tech. First day March. March of robot. #marchofrobots #sketchbook #sketch #pencil #doodle #art #artistsoninstagram

[nerdjerk]

I love this #sketch even though I have a weird relationship with #robots because of the following reasons:

Number one: She’s drawing on boxy robots on graph paper - #WIN!

Number two: That robot’s got attitude!

If you like cool art from a super unique and talented illustrator/animator, I HIGHLY suggest you take the time to follow @theickythegreat on Tumblr and @icky.the.great on Instagram. You will not be disappointed.

Unless you hate cool sketches. Then you’re outta luck. ;D

For those of you who've only met me recently, you may not know I used to draw comics about my life. Having recently been given some excellent tools (read: pencils) to get back on track, I've decided to try to get in the habit again this year. So here's my first installation based on my daily walk at lunch yesterday. Not featured: Guy hanging out his car window, shouting, "WOOOOO! Gimme some!" trying to hi-five me at 40 mph. #fatgirl #autobio #comics #illustration #chubby #girl #fat #cute #indiecomics #diy #comix #moleskine #blackwing

It’s Wednesday.  Wednesdays don’t make sense.  Neither does this pickle.

[nerdjerk]

I flippin' love pickles and badass writing... if I were to get a tattoo, this might be in the running.

@cortessia bought Lita a #Christmas shrubbery last night, so today we decorated it with glitter balls & pipe cleaners!

Working with brush pens make thick lines on thick women #comics #selfie #wip

Behold: The Majestic Bare knuckled Ballerina Boxer! Did I mention the #comics are starting up again? Without a ton of pressure, it feels good to draw silly stuff.

[nerdjerk]

Redesigns are for the best when it comes to #crossstitch that seemed a bit underwhelming. Now it's WAY more awesome!
