more oscarina
Posted in oscarina on Saturday, Apr. 23, 2011This week I did an Oscarina that I only got silly with after publishing. Silly sometimes comes later, and I like silly. So there are two versions. First and second, below.
And as always, Oscarina can be found at oscarinaland.com.

Introducing Oscarina…
Posted in oscarina on Friday, Apr. 15, 2011I forgot to tell you I’ve been working on a new weekly cartoon, called Oscarina! She’s been getting a pretty good response so far, which surprises me, actually. She’s just a pet idea I had about a grumpy little girl who happens to look and think a lot like me when I was a little girl. Big coincidence! Ha!
Anyway, here’s a sample and a link.
The first Oscarina (click on the cartoon for a larger version in situ):
Gatz
Posted in etc. on Saturday, Apr. 9, 2011The ERS’s production of Gatz was one of the more moving theatrical experiences in my life, so when they asked me to donate some artwork for the benefit auction, I was only too happy to do so. I ordered some mypenguin “naked” editions of The Great Gatsby from a Waterstones bookstore in London (because Penguin wouldn’t sell directly to the USA for some reason), but they took so long to arrive that I ended up going to Barnes & Noble to buy whatever edition I could find of The Great Gatsby, and drew on them. I was so pleased with one of the drawings that I had it turned into a rubber stamp to use on the mypenguin books whenever they finally arrived (long, sad story! they don’t use tape on their packaging in the UK, it seems! they are all so polite over there that they just ask the books to stay inside the box, and off they go!).
Here is one of the three books that DID arrive (the fourth is still AWOL —hello, Waterstones!), with my rubber stamp on it:
