Being up to my eyeballs in a ton of creative ventures, it may take a moment for any more of them to surface here….. but trust me, they’re coming. In the meantime, here are some cards I’ve drawn for pals over the past few months to tide you over in my cyber-presence drought.
Who knew pigs were so hard to draw?
Something that was not mentioned in this interview was the Harry Potter reference that is this blog’s name (only recognisable when spoken in an Australian accent). How elitist.
Claudia Pickering runs the blog thedarclaud which is about her creative endeavors. She is the producer and star of the video The Sebring which stars Danny Trejo. Here is a link to her blog:
Q: What inspired you to start your blog?
A: As a foreigner (I’m Australian), I was looking for a way to display my work so that I had a record for myself and my friends here and overseas.
