Doodles From Nantucket - Tumblr Posts
Orange
a graphic/visual/wordless poem
(it's not a well-defined genre)
Why?
Because.
A short graphic story follow-up to my fish in Brooklyn doodle.
Street and subway reference images from Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan (I'm fairly certain).
An old skeleton, a rat and about 20 hairbrushes make surprisingly good company
I once knew a strange little girl
Whose monstrous hair did unfurl
And swallowed me whole.
So, may god save my soul
'Cause I'll never escape from these curls.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and I'll serve you your ass on a platter.
(alternatively titled “My, what terrible poems you have, Grandmother!”)
Skippity-hoppity,
Little Red Riding Hood
Taking a trip down to
Grandmother’s place.
Due to past issues with
Anthropomorphized
Wolves, Red’s equipped with a
Shotgun and mace.

For messier51 who keeps reminding everyone to punch their enemies with the proper safe technique.
A Humboldt squid for humboldt-squid, who I noticed was regularly answering my corny visual pun posts (correctly, no less!).
Also, the picture is sideways but my computer’s currently being finicky and not letting me change that - sorry!
Funny story...
So blinkpinkinc responded to my earlier ask, so I went to her page tagged "me". I saw the first picture that came up, decided to draw it and rushed past the others without really looking.
For whatever reason, right after I was done I look back through your photos and realized my egregious error.
This is not you.
Happy Birthday poonfeyrac, I accidentally drew you. You have a fun face!
So blinkpinkinc, please send me a photo and I will try to do better next time.
Until then, have this hastily doodled rice-creature that you also had in your "me" tag.
So a while back I posted a bunch of things that were for some cool people I’d talked to on tumblr. Somehow, one of them got stuck somewhere between uploaded and posted - sorry! For sisterhood, drawn here wearing the armor of Lady Sif (i.e. Norse goddess/marvel character)
Tell me about your life as an artistic scientist
To be honest, it’s a bit confusing…
I try to do science and art comes out,
(I was supposed to be focusing on looking at a bunch of different tissue samples, not getting carried away drawing the slides.)
And when I try to do art, science comes out.
(I was just doing some animal sketches for class, but anatomy is just so pretty.)
Then, when I tried to combine the two, the reference was lost on my audience.
I was aiming to anthropomorphize the experiment done recently which electronically linked the brains of two lab rats. (I drew this as part of an in-class exercise. I drew the rats in the first phase, swapped comics with a classmate and they drew in the background.)
So, as I said; it’s a bit confusing, but honestly, I don’t mind; it makes it more interesting.

Just a weird picture done for my graphic novel course (the assignment was: draw something creepy/repulsive/horrifying).
Watercolor and ink
Posted separately from this post because I can.
I surprised myself and had a lot of fun splashing watercolors on this! I used this photo as a reference for the lion part, and the face was loosely based on Lyndie Greenwood.
This is a character from my comics from when I was around 10. His name is Dude, Spy Dude.
A quick doodle of Emily Zaheen, the lovely, photogenic gerbil for sharingpurellwithhowardhughes!
A kitchen dancing with dishcloth doodle for ceeainthereforthat loosely based on this video.
I was supposed to be focusing on other parts of this still-life. Whoops. (Also, this is a relatively small detail on an 18x24 piece of paper.)
This is an older stencil piece I made in high school that I'm still rather proud of. It started out as a pencil illustration I drew for English class of Mary, the main character in The Children's Hour, a play by Lillian Hellman. I drew from a few different references to construct the face and the clothing, which I have long since lost.
A very quick doodle (I know it’s a mess) based on the bizarre courtship displays of the superb bird of paradise and drawn very roughly in the style of Kate Beaton (my apologies). The lyrics are from Closer by NIN, and while it isn’t exactly my favorite song, it did inspire this comic. I’m posting this now because I’ve been seeing this fantastic animation by oliviawhen passed around tumblr and realized that I hadn’t actually posted this comic from a few months ago.
I -- I just really needed to do that...
It was an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, Hypsibius dujardini
