    Hey, it’s you! I wanted to say something to you the other day. I read a book once about capturing the essence of something over the literal form. I think you for sure have that down. I always understand what’s going on in your drawings, and they always make me smile. I like to think you love your model, if it’s not you (If it is that you’re just going through the motions you gotta go through to be a cheap model hehehe!) But I was also going to say is that I saw you ask someone on here for suggestions on how to er…solidify your form I guess? I mean a) you’re already doing it by just drawing but b) I was going to suggest leaning more into one direction or the other. a) Exaggerated forms perhaps in more dynamic poses or b) focus on figure and form and locking in ratios, musculature, and bone structures.

    But also I am just a fool on the internet and your work always makes me smile. So take this as you will. Also your pen and ink (my fav) makes think of Euro-art. Are you by chance European?

      I think your suggestions are good ones. I am not entirely sure of which path to choose though. Thank you for your advice.

      je suis americaine.

      Are you a slip knot fan by chance?

        Oh dude, foreals? I had no clue! You got this euro-vibe and I dig it so hard. Btw I seriously dig your vibes you’re such a fucking trooper for the cause (of art). Yo, also dig Slipknot for dumb baby crush-baby reasons. The gal I liked in HS was into the whole lot of bands. Kittie, Slipknot, Otep, there was one more…forgot. Well in time, she ended up being on a famous game show for singing - so that was pretty coool. What kinda stunk? Turned down my dyke ass one day. Still love the essence of that gal <3~! Gotta shoot your shots =P!

        I still love Kittie like a crackhead loves…crack. It’s a fun super-indulgent sing. Esp that first album. But this jam is probably my most sung Kittie song as a “grown ass adult.” And as you can see I kinda Kittie > Slipknoted. But that’s because my general tastes leaned towards “girls kick ass tehehehe” when I was younger…and now. But girls do kick ass =P!

        But do tell why m’dear Rutty =D?

          America has a lot of communities which are of European descents, it kind of makes sense.

          Maggot is a term used to describe slipknot fans.

            Ah shit, yeah see I didn’t know. Just you know - listen to the music cause a cute gal likes it. Typical dumb teen shit =P! Yeah actually, I dig joints like that but I see their roots fading as time goes on. Kinda like say - Andersonville in Chicago. I mean still there, but for sure less a cultural thing, more of a “chip-ster” (chill hipster) spot =P!

            My namie-name is a reference to the goof-about show Mandy. In it there’s a payday loans commercial for a company called Cash Maggot =P! S’all~
