Happy Birthday Vero!

| Viciously Sweet

I really love Novembers.

They are full of hot cocoa, planning your next years Halloween costumes, and really more birthdays than you can shake a stick at.

And today’s birthday is totally a good one.

In addition to being Sadie Hawkings Day and World Kindness day… it’s also Veronica’s birthday.

You may be asking yourself… who is Veronica?

And you are totally right for asking,

She is one of my college buddies who I would love to share a little bit about with you right now!

-Veronica is a very talented artist, she can make very fancy drawings.. in fact we have collaborated on one

-She literally has like 40 bookmarks with hobbits on them

-She still owns every copy of “Circus” magazine. Which was an alternative rock version of “Tiger Beat”

-She never ever complains about my music choices

-She still uses her high school yahoo email, like a proper gangster

-She loves all kitties, and has a rather handsome gray cat who likes to sleep on her workspace

-She is great to go to the movies with and always dresses in theme with the movie you are about to see. It’s like Disneybouding… but like totally way better

-And she has dreams of sharing her love of 90s glam rockers with the world… Specifically Amir Derakh, and his majorly contrasty hair:

And more than all that she has dreams of costumes like Elisa.. maybe it’s a November thing???

Any who… her is a drawing of her as Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6:

Isn’t she all super hero-ey? She also looks like this all the time… her street clothes are her real costume

Happy Birthday Veronica!

With Whip Cream on Top

| Viciously Sweet

I have been full of really great ideas lately.
And all of them have to do with ice cream.

It may be that I’m hungry, or that it takes to long to really get cold in California… But all I can really think of is ice cream animals.

And all I can think about when I’m working is Mermaids…

So I combined the two, and I feel really good about it.

Meet ice cream mermaid.

She is strawberry, and sprinkly.

I imagine she is like a baker mermaid, and that she smells really good (and totally not like gross fishies)

She’s like the strawberry shortcake of the sea.

And her favorite band is the Mer-Cure which features Robert Smith of the Sea. (I really want to draw him as a mermaid now)

Just like Candy

| Viciously Sweet

Wednesday is the perfect time for something sweet!

I had some time to doodle since I’m working on building up my graphic design portfolio…

And I really wanted cotton candy… so this happened.

And someday it will be a part of a sticker set!

Together

| Viciously Sweet

Sometimes I think people get really sensitive…

and I think sometimes we need to just remember that:

It’s a simple statement that is so true.

Remember it the next time you see someone who needs help, or maybe doesn’t have the same opinions as you… does that really matter in the long run?

Think Pink

| Viciously Sweet

I am so stuck in summer.

I can’t believe it wants to end!

I made this doodle as an homage to summer and to Jimmy who is obsessed with all things flamingo:

mingo mingo

I imagine that if we were birds Jimmy would be a flamingo. All tall and eating shrimp.

If I were a bird, I’d be a hummingbird, just small and never staying in one place.

Mermaid Setback

| Viciously Sweet

So I have been really into the game on making mermaids lately…

And until today I couldn’t think of one thing I could do better than a mermaid could.

But then I spilled a big cup of iced tea on a drawing I was working on and very much realized something very important.

It would be very hard to draw underwater!!!

And If I couldn’t draw… I would be a very very sad illustrator.

Throne Games

| Viciously Sweet

Does anybody out there watch Game of Thrones?

I know that is a silly question because… it so popular it has a monopoly theme version!

My friend Connie who is a big fan asked me to make her a doodle of Jon Snow from the show so she could make it into a shirt.

And here I will admit, that I don’t watch the show… but when I saw this guy when figuring out what to draw… I was like, I could see why people really like this show…

Kit Harington is really dreamy.

And if it’s all him and Peter Dinklage… I could see everyone liking it.

Maybe I should give it a good binge watching.
