Up In Yo Ashes, Risin'

Yeah, I've been "enhanced". I heard all the Hollywood peeps are doing it these days.

Original recipe, bitches!

So the Phoenix has always had a special place in my heart. I've fallen so many times, only to rise back up and stumble onward down my path, whatever that may be. So I've been thinking about logos for stuff (eventually I'd like to make my own t-shirts), and this image is something that comes to mind. Or pen and paper. Both.

Yeah...so anyway, Phoenix sketch, because anything that rises out of flames like a boss deserves tribute.

Kamala Khan, Rockin' It

I've been a bit busy (and lazy) and honestly haven't done anything post-it note wise I've been happy with...but having finished reading Marvel's Ms. Marvel series, I was inspired to at least sketch something. And I honestly need a lot more practice with doing females, so I present today's post-it note sketch.

The giant hand of Jersey City says, KAPOW 

If you haven't read the series and need something new to check out, I'd highly recommend it. Was it somewhat familiar with a teenager trying to find their place? Yes. But that's not a bad thing, especially when it's the POV of a teen-aged girl in our crazy American modern society. A muslim teen-aged girl, with both parents still intact. This isn't an introduction to a hero who takes up the mantle because of a major trauma (parents are still alive, and so are her friends). This is someone who wants to make a difference in the best way she can. I'm down with that. Even if she is from Jersey (yes, I'm a New Yorker, born and transplanted elsewhere against my will).

You mean I can't just teleport to work?

This is the second version of LSP I worked on (in as many days), as the first had the black ink all smudged when I colored with the pink highlighter after I inked. This way worked much better, and was actually fun to pull off. I'm tempted to throw a Finn in there somewhere, since I have the right colored highlighters for his cothing/backpack (no purple, hence the pink LSP).

Gah, it's been getting harder and harder to get out of bed these days. I finally got up early enough to ride my van pool this morning, and was able to take a short (much needed) nap. Oh well...back to the daily grind!

Happy hump day, folks!

Grumpy vs pinky: FIGHT!

A bit of inspiration from one of my daughter's bibs. Funny how you get the urge to sketch from the most random of objects/moments.

SUGAR!

Straws: Sugar Needles?

A while back I gave up soda/sugar for a week, only to "accidentally" order a Coke with my lunch. Luckily I remembered right before receiving said drink (I asked for a water instead from the bemused cashier). So close...

It was actually kind of nice taking a break from the sweets. There was even a period after where I wasn't craving sugary delights as much. But then baked goods kept appearing at work. Resolve...weakening...sugary cravings...returning...

Ground Brains (the other gray meat)

There'll be nothing left for the zombies...

When the week just feels like it's dragging...oh, wait. It's only Tuesday. Grind on!

 

Is it sad that every time I see this image now I think of Magic: The Gathering? My cards are currently gathering dust...

Doctor Domo!

The last Destruction Lord

So I'm a bit of a fan of Domo, and while not quite a Whovian, I dig the dude in the blue call box. Time and space travel? Hells yeah!! Or I'll take good old teleporting any day of the week...

So, uh...welcome to Post-It Nuts, where I'll post some of my post-it note art. Just be forewarned, I'll probably be playing with the look of the blog for a while. Any (friendly) suggestions are welcome!

Time to EX-ERRRRR-SIIIIIIZE DA DEMONS!
