SUPER CARTOON POST TSUBABABABABA

Annnnnnnd here's the stuff from my sketchbook AKA not classwork~



GIRLS WITH GLASSES
I LOVE THEM



OH MY WHO ARE THESE FINE UPSTANDING CITIZENS




Can't not draw heads.



So many cute Asian girls here.



A CHALLENGER APPEARS!



Getting ready for Project Rooftop's Black Canary contest... I spilled cafe au lait on my page. :(



ALSO FUN FACT I am sending out internship emails now. Fingers are crossed. So many fingers.

SUPER JAPAN POST GO GO GO

What's this? Japan work? Who? What what?!

Please excuse the HORRIBLE PHOTO QUALITY, these were taken on my cell phone. COUNTERPOINT: Japanese cell phones are awesome.




So here are my final two color variations on the Amaterasu piece. NOTE: There is no such thing as a registration sheet.



Live model #1, the stately older Japanese woman.



Live model #2, the Japanese dancer! He had a scar on his chest, it was pretty rad.





And the final pieces for my self-portrait.

WINK.

Updating is hard when you're in JAPAN!

HELLO EVERYONE! こんにちは! Have you missed me? I haven't been posting because I haven't been doing illustrations, I've been having a GRAND TIME in JAPAN! All this semester, don't you know.

So I'll post some of the things I'm working on here, and the finals will come when I have a camera to post them with!

Here's some process photos of a print I just finished. The idea was for it to be representative of the sun goddess Amaterasu from Japanese legend. Story goes that she's all pissed that her brother, the trickster god, is messin' up her stuff and throwing dead horses at her handmaidens and stuff, so she locks herself in a cave for a while. Without the sun, everyone on earth is way bummed, so they decide to trick her by throwing a rowdy party and singing her praises to lure her out. Ammy gets curious and peeks out and sees how much everyone misses her and decides to come back out and everything is hunky dory and the flowers all bloom and stuff. Anyway:






And here's my paintings I've been working on. This first one my still life painting. It's a ring I bought from the AVAM that's clear plastic with three flowers preserved inside. I was feeling very Mad Men, as you might be able to tell.

And here's the main panel of a triptych self-portrait that I'm working on. It's me! SCANDAL IN THE SCHOOL I'M NAKED KIND OF OH MY.


Suffice to say I've been here awhile and I have a ton more work to post, but I'll get to that when I get to it. AKA when I'm not writing papers or exploring Japan or eating delicious Japan foods or, uhhhh, shopping. Okay, well, signing out for now. <3 じゃまた!

Season's Greetings



Happy Holidays! Yay! This was for Allan's class. We had to make a holiday illustration based on a quote. I chose "Christmas isn't a season, it's a feeling." Cute warm and fuzzy times! :D

Keepin' it creepin'.

Footware Aficionado Cover


I did this for my GD 1 class. The assignment was to create a magazine cover, so I chose Footware Aficionado, as I really enjoy their art direction. (c) Abby Boeh 2009

Thanks to Nick Iluzada for all his input.

Go Green!




This was my submission for the (mandatory) poster competition put on by the MICA Illustration Department and the Baltimore Office of Sustainability. It was supposed to evoke the spirit of Baltimore and show that everything you do to help the environment benefits everyone in tons of ways! I personally try to recycle things and turn off the lights and whatnot. If it saves me money, why not!

Anywho, I missed cartooning hella lots, so I was pretty fond of this poster, and though it didn't win anything, my pal Nick Iluzada did, and my bfffff Cailin Nealon got runner up! Swell!
