From An Artbook (formerly A Copy Of Nancy Drew And The Secret Of The Old Clock) That I Worked In A Lot

today i discovered that painting teeny-tiny versions of jd's twitter icon is not my Strong Spot in art. learning and growing

a collection of diary pages i posted on my old blog but wanted to have over here!!

the startings of a new artbook, ft. a title that really resonated with me and then became a shoutout to my girl tove jansson and a new place to channel feelings about important things that happened this year ?? starting with the Most Important Thing, which was incidentally the mountain goats' tuttlingen warriors 2013 at the bottletree in birmingham, al over the summer !!

crayon doodled a little cloud kacheek having a fun time in the sky!! 🌥️

a frilly n fun breakfast pastry monkey! 🐒🎀🥐🍓

i don’t post much of anything besides shitty reblogs on this tumblr anymore, but i wanted to share these pieces from a sketchbook i just finished! these were inspired by old-school egl fashion and angry grrrlz and there will probably be more of them sometime idk

i did these in fountain pen and alcohol marker, then cleaned them up in illustrator! 

returning to my roots of pen-only drawing at the coffee shop today 💫

hi, y'all!

many moons ago (around 2013!), i blogged here as em panasonicrxft500. this place was the home of my teen angst, mountain goats blogging, and lots of other sweet, special memories. for those of you who are still here: hello again! it's nice to be back. since then, i grew up, transitioned (my name is emmett now!), and met my lovely wife harriet and girlfriend colette. i became an artist, specializing in digital illustration, mixed media, small press, and brand design, and started tabling at festivals with my art! i still love the mountain goats, and even got to work for their label, merge records, for a couple of years. so why tumblr again? like a lot of folks, i was pretty sickened to see zuck on stage with trump during the inauguration. so i've decided to ditch meta, return here, reuse this space as a home for my art and design!

if you want to find me other places, links are on my website! i also have a dedicated blog for doll stuff @meltycatdolls.

please feel free to reach out and say hi, and look forward to more art stuff soon as i figure out how to get better at posting my stuff on the internet.

love,
