Here's a lil' comic I created for something else and now I'm posting it here! It's essentially about me surviving the holiday social climb. You know how the number of parties and gatherings and meetups goes waaaaay up during December? I love it, but also it's EXHAUSTING. So This Comic is about That Feeling. Hope you enjoy!

It's Christmas Eve! I'm just popping in to share some snaps from a recent small gathering with friends. Back in our hometown for the holidays, each day is (mostly) filled with laughing + eating + talking with family and friends. Hope you are well and enjoying life during these last few days of 2016. 👍 (The color editing I did on these pics is inconsistent but let's just ignore that, yes?)

I know it's supposed to be a musical interpretation of the 'cool girl' passage from Gone Girl—which is super clear re: the false advertising of the so-called ✨cool girl—but let's just pretend I mean only good things when I say: you should totally read this post all about cool girls while you listen to Tove Lo's "Cool Girl."
Here, I'll make it easy for you:
Anyway, on to the meat of this post.
YouTube. Lately, I've been using it to find new music + to be inspired by other creative women. So I'm sharing this list of some of the fashion + style channels...

Ya'll may know that I LOVE to eat, so naturally I designed a t-shirt in homage to Chinese takeout.* During particularly weak moments, Charlie and I crave Chinese takeout. We both love Chinese food in general, but it always feels extra lazy and unhealthy when we Grubhub the stuff to our apartment.
A few weeks ago, our favorite delivery place was booked out the wazoo. One and a half hour wait? No thanks, we'll find another place! Another place ended up being a tiny lil' spot called King Wong. They...

So I've been really inspired lately by women (esp. of color) in, on, and around the internet. I first came across Destiny Frasqueri, aka Princess Nokia on tumblr (where else?) and was drawn in by her strong visual presence. I'll admit there was also some skepticism on my part because she seemed to be playing into that whole ✨ tumblr art hoe/internet princess ✨ thing that sometimes makes me roll my eyes.
It also took me a minute to get into her music (specifically her most recent release, 1992), but honestly, the more time I spend with her creative output, the...

Another burger review, Maria? Yes! I am the burger queen! Even though, truly, after I eat a nice juicy piece of medium cooked meat plus french fries my body feels as though it is not long for this world... Like all that fat, grease, and salt is slowly congealing somewhere in my system, just waiting to take me out while I innocently climb a flight of stairs.
Anyway. Lenny's Burger. What a place!
I think there are a few of these in and around the Phoenix area. We visit one in a strip mall, tucked in between Smoothie King and a...

I generally find it interesting/helpful to see how certain artists make work, so today I'm going to share a bit about my art + creative process. I studied graphic design at university, and I've been drawing since I was a child, and ideally, my work reflects both of those mediums. I like to scribble on paper and I like to push pixels around on a screen.
The tools of my analog art-making trade. Not pictured: charcoal pencils because they are currently in one of those clear, plastic art bags making a giant, dusty, black mess. Since I spend a lot of...
