Stacks Exhibition ~ Preview

Hi everyone! My big spring-and-summer project this year was a short comic for a zine exhibition at Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis.

"The show takes viewers on a journey through time, 1984-2014, seen through the eyes of sixty creatives. [...] It is a celebration of our recent history and the moments that have shaped us all! " -Light Grey Art Lab

I was assigned to the year 2010. This was a big year for me in many ways,  so I put a lot of thought into what slice of my life I wanted to illustrate. Here is just a little preview.... I'll share the whole thing soon! If you live in Minneapolis, the opening reception is on August 1st. You can go have fun reading zines by artists from around the world! 

Here's the finished comic!

Puppetry for "Moon Animate Make-Up!"

 Oh, to be a puppeteer... *blissful sigh* Puppet shows are way cool... especially when those puppets are Sailor Moon, Malachite, and Ninjana. <3 This is Jordan Hill's shot for Moon Animate Make-Up! Victor Courtright and I got to help with it near the end. It was super fun!

I can't embed the video on Blogger, but you can click here to watch!

My Shot for "Moon Animate Make-Up!"

Sailor Moon proposes a deal: the silver crystal in exchange for Tuxedo Mask's safe return. Malachite replies...



Such evil! MALACHITE!! I'm so happy I was able to participate in this fan tribute to Sailor Moon, "Moon Animate Make-Up!". Over 200 fans are reanimating the episode "Fractious Friends". It's coming soon to your internet, this July! My shot is at 14:28, if you want to see the original, or see it in context with the rest of the episode. I can't wait to see everyone else's unique styles. It's gonna be purty awesome. Also, I gotta send a thank you to Victor Coutright for bringing this project to my attention while there was still shots to dish out. Check out his Moon Healing Escalation!!
