Next Week's Subject: Space Girls!

After some discussion, Gene and I decided on Space Girls for next week's topic. Something we've both wanted to do a while it seems. Check back to see what we come up with next Wednesday.

My little contribution to this week's theme. I went with a Gil Elvgren vibe here. If you are going to steal, steal from the best. :)

I warned Gene that I was going to be stretching this week's theme a bit. So here are my 'Librarians' :).

My thought process started out on track...y'know girl with glasses and books around her. Then I figured what's better than one girl reading? Two girls of course! Then I kept thinking on it...what's better than two girls? (3 girls is too much more work, so don't go there :).) Two girls... taking a bath!...while reading! And somehow my brain thought that was an appropriate image for 'Librarian'.

*sigh*

and yes, the one girl is reading Moby Dick... just because I've got the maturity level of a thirteen year old. :)

Next Week's Subject: Librarians

Yup, you read that right. Joe and I are going to explore the cute, fun and sexy side of the librarian. Please join us next wednesday.

DC's Death by Joe Pekar

Did this one with a mix of grayscale markers and watercolors. Was going to originally just do it in black and white, but I just can't resist messing around with color. (thankfully she didn't end up as a red head ;))

Next Week's Subject: Death (DC)

almost forgot to update the blog today. I decided on DC's Death. A character I've always liked and have wanted to do for a while now on the blog. Hope you guys are into it :)

check back next Wednesday to see what we come up with.

Starfire - Teen Titans by Joe Pekar

ok, I couldn't resist drawing Starfire...shocking, I know! (I'm not sure if I've ever done a color one of her before...i think I've done a couple black and white drawings though...). I loved the Titans in the 80's, but haven't kept up over the years, so that's why I went old school :)
