Guest Post at the League!

Check it out! Super Squirrel & Super Sushi asked if I would share a bit of my illustration process for the portraits I make for the LEP monthly newsletter, and my post was published yesterday!

My Super Self

As I've mentioned before, I'm proud to be the official illustrator for the League of Extraordinary Penpals (there's still time to sign up for the reduced rate)! Julie and Laura wanted me to do a self-portrait for the website, and I was happy to oblige... my superhero name would be "Lady Stardust" of course (if it hadn't been taken already it would be my derby name, haha!) and my super weapon is my tablet pen!! As far as the super-obvious color theme goes... I have to admit I've been having a love affair with red & blue for the last two years. I just can't get enough of that combo! ♥

You know what I realized? This image is reversed. That's what I get for looking in a mirror! I'm right handed and my part is on the left side of my head. HAH. Oops.

So this is how I like to imagine myself in spandex. And that's all I got for today.
