My first Kickstarter and fifth graphic novel is going to be THE GARLICKS: Pandora Orange, Fail Vampire. I'm raising production and printing costs, I've love for you to be a backer--you'll get to be a part of a new book coming together over the course of a year.
More details, art and the requisite video are here:THE GARLICKS

I am having a Black Friday/Rent Party Commission drive! I have FOUR spots open! Commissions are $60. for a 5x8" SINGLE FIGURE watercolor on acid-free paper. The price includes US Priority shipping.

I can do multiple figures. Please note me to discuss a price.

My previous commissions can be seen here:

Commissions will be shipped before Christmas. (Along with outstanding commissions.)

Thanks, everyone!

It's half way over for me, since my summer is defined by the end of one school year and the beginning of the next. It's sticky season here: step out and you are overwhelmed by the weather equivalent of a warm, damp, woolen blanket. It's instantly exhausting. Sweat runs down your back and from under your hair.
The only makeup for this weather is a kiss-proof lipcolor, waterproof eyeliner and a tough mascara. (I use Rimmel, BTW. Dirt cheap, stay on better than any spendy mascara. Tried them all!) Anything else slides right off your face.

Hope you're all drawing and writing away as you dodge the northern hemisphere's heat, and my friends down under, I hope you are having a delightful winter.

My pal Josh Hechinger, who is the writer of THE MOON IS MINE (which I am drawing), is in DC's Zuda Comics competition with THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS! This means JOSH NEEDS VOTES for his series to continue.

I wish I could tell who was exactly the 46,000th visitor, but I can't! However, THANK YOU ALL!

Just to get the last entry off the front page!

Hi!

This is my last call for commissions for Christmas delivery!

Any of you fine folks who've been waiting, this is the time! Hup! Hup!

To refresh memories, here are prices and samples (with new samples, too):

Decide what sort of subject you'd like, and PayPal to divalea @ gmail.com with your wants. Single figures only. (Multiple figures negotiable!)
Thanks in advance for your patronage!

Here's what I'm offering (SCROLL DOWN for NEW watercolor pieces):

$15.00: a digital drawing, 5x5, greytones, hi-resolution, suitable for printing.

$25.00: a digital drawing, 5x5, color, hi-resolution, suitable for printing. Like this!



and



$50.00 (which includes Priority shipping): a 5x8 watercolor, such as below, suitable for hanging and bragging about. Like so:





Here's Scarlet Witch and Power Girl, from what looks like will be a series of superheroines looking gorgeous, powerful and happy to be so. These pieces got big ups from Wonder Woman writer Gail Simone.





Paimon and Flora from FLORA SEGUNDA.
A painting like this is going to be a bit more than a 5x8 single figure. Feel free to email with inquiries.



Commissions for dolls can still be made, but they won't be delivered until after the holidays.



Thanks so much!

Ooops, I have no idea who 36,000 was, but I am there!

Thanks to all the new watchers, all the long-time watchers, thanks for your comments and favs!

Which sounds naughty, but it isn't! gave an "L," I asked for a letter, and I got "M!"

Rules: If you comment on this journal, I'll give you a letter & you'll have to make a journal that lists 10 things that you like starting with the letter I give you.

I want to cheat and just spell all my favorite things with an "m," but here we go!

1. Molskine watercolor sketchbooks and notebooks.
2. Macaroni and cheese, home made and baked!
3. Miyazaki, Hiyao. I will never forget watching "Laputa" for the first time.
4. Molly from Oban Star Racers. (Even though the no-nose design drove me nuts!)
5. The Mollusk known as the octopus! They are smart and so graceful in the water.
6. That "M" makes the sound of enjoying something. "Mmmmm!"
7. Meteor showers, they fill me with wonder. Some I have seen have been so amzing they've made me cry.
8. Mraz, Jason, his songs "The Beauty in Ugly" and "A Beautiful Mess."
9. M. Night Shyamalan's "Sixth Sense" and "Lady in the Water."
10. Macro lens, because I like being able to see tiny things in closeup!

Our cars are both dead to the tune of $2,000. which means it's time for me to roll up the ol' sleeves, and start busking amongst my much-appreciated wtachers.
Imagine me wearing a fez, right? Okay!

Decide what sort of subject you'd like, and send the amount to PayPal to divalea @ gmail.com with your wants.
Single figures only, more complex images can be negotiated.
