This tribute to my favourite sport is definitely going to become a finished piece … just a rough little sketch as of today, but boy oh boy is she going to be hot.
And I’m going to need to come up with a suitable badass roller derby name, too. Hmm….
Another from the little black Moleskine notebook … just a sketch, but already super cute. May have to finish this one …
This darling little creature was a special commission for Naomi over at Itty Biz.
And no, it isn’t her, dammit … but the camo skirt, the buzz-cut and the inscrutable smile perfectly encapsulate her particular brand of instinctive marketing bad-assery.
First in a series from the sketchbook that lives in my hip pocket.
Nellie, cat-eyed, bike-ridin’ Alberta Street hipster — with stripey socks. Yes!
Another pinup for the Spicy Princess project.
Another Spicy Princess girl … meet “Candace”, martini-wielding fifties housewife.
Jocelyn, a hot Portland roller derby girl — I know, I know, “where are her skates?”– cooked up for the Spicy Princess, and best observed on the big pink banner hanging at Rose City Roller bouts.
Roxanne, the hard-as-nails biker+gunfighter (what?) foil to the sweetness of Verrrrronica.
Another commission for Santa Cruz Harley-Davidson, R.I.P. … which I swear has nothing to do with the fact that the bike Roxie’s sitting on isn’t a Harley at all … it’s a vintage Indian.
The alluring, cherub-cheeked Veronica, temptress of the tarmac, and my very first commissioned pin-up.
Stripey socks (stripey socks) are my particular weakness, which may be why her be-stockinged legs are soooo looooong.
Veronica graced full-page newspaper ads and (totally out of print) T-shirts for the also-vanished Santa Cruz Harley-Davidson dealership.
Sketch for a ukulele case, believe it or not … sadly, rejected for a batch of %$&*ing palm trees.. On the other hand, she provided the basis for Jocelyn, so all’s well.
