About the Artist

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 15, 2006, 4:56 PM
I'm a pseudo-housewife and an occasional freelance illustrator.

I'm fascinated by flat expanses of color and minimal detail. Adobe Illustrator was love at first sight for me.

Most of my art is done in Illustrator from original sketches on paper; on the rare occasions I use photo reference, it's only for inspiration.

This is not my journal; go read my
LiveJournal
if you want to hear about my daily life and see lots of unfinished doodles.

Buy some prints and keep me happy to do this stuff. If there's a piece you'd like a print of, comment on it and let me know! I don't process my stuff for printing here unless someone asks.

Old stuff: VCL

Clubs:
*vbu, ~vector-club

DA's print size guidelines for my own reference.

Because the forums here so often have people asking about "finding their style":

Style is like love. It sneaks up on you when you're not looking.

It's the bits you're naturally good at. It's the cheats and abstractions of reality you've internalized, whether you figured them out yourself or stole them from another artist. It's the things you just can't get a handle on, no matter how hard you try, and the ways you've evolved to make this look intentional.

You can appropriate someone else's style, but your style is what you get when you pick apart the styles of all your influences and stick them in a blender along with observation of reality, analysis, and practice...

I don't use them a whole bunch but when I get stuck i find they help me find some new combinations to try, I have been having some fun with colorjack.com for the same reasons lately.

I don't use it (or the book beneath it, Designer's Guide To Color 5) as much as I used to - but it was instrumental in developing my color sense to the point it's at now!

Fantastic Gallery. I must say that you've got me interested in getting Adobe Illustrator. I just ran across your deck creation thread at Aeclectic, and honestly, it very much inspired me as an artist myself.

very cool, sleek gallery! :D

I'd been vaguely aware of the climbing number, but hadn't been checking! 30k in five years. Not bad, I guess.

Yay, Happy 30k

Beautiful style you have there, and a very educational journel entry for young up and coming artists that immediatly want to delve into art before learning fundementals.
