A Retro ARRRRT Update!

[alivemagdolene]

I found one of my old sketchbooks (OLD old) and for fun scanned the beejeezus out of it (omitting, of course, the requisite godawful teenage poetry, brimming with the lugubrious lucidity only such a medium has). After being reassured by my love [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] that they weren't all godawful (she actually said they were wonderful but she's biased) I've opened them to the public via my art page or should you choose, my art MySpace.
A sneak preview, you ask? Cleverly assembled? WHY SURE!



That's right, if it existed in my brooding, 15/16-year-old mind and I felt the need to commit it to this particular sketchbook, it's (mostly) here!

Comments are love because I have an ongoing need for acceptance from anyone and everyone and I love you all. ♥



And a note about my moods section: Yes, all my moods are Clara Bow. Yes, the current mood, "artistic", is actually Betty Boop. Why, you ask? Betty Boop was inspired by both Helen Kane and Clara Bow, among other Jazz Age personalities. Therefore, it can be argued that Betty Boop is an artistic rendering of Clara Bow. Also, she's damn cute.

I HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE BRILLIANT IN MULTIPLE ARTISTIC MEDIUMS (MEDIA? WHATEVER).

SO FUCK YOU, I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING NICE.

BECAUSE, SRSLY, YOU DRAW AWESOME AND YOU WRITE AWESOME AND YOU SOLVE CRIMES AT NIGHT. AND I HATE YOU.

LOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOU ♥

(that picture of la Monroe in the bottom left corner is one of my favourites, and your rendering is gorgeous)

They’re all wonderful! I chuckled because I think I know the source photographs for most of these—verily we were separated at birth. A couple I especially loved:

Three girls, Lana Turner, Bride—lovely!
Woman—that’s no woman, that’s Clara Bow!
Girl—love your use of line in this one (why, yes, I was a pretentious art history major, why do you ask? ;) )
Mirror—This one’s my favorite—the hands and the sense of depth, really great

I love love love Green Louise which is fortunate as it is mine, all mine! Lucky me!

I've already flailed over these like the fangirl I am, but I just wanted you to know you're a fantastic artist, and any girl who has a Betty Boop mood was just made for me. =D

(OH! And I has internets!!!! SQUEEEE!)
