Art Show Solidarity!

So RIGHT NOW my beloved illustrator (remember that book I wrote? Yeah, me neither) is having her amazing glitter and cupcake filled first art show! Unfortunately it’s in Minneapolis, so I can’t go (because of my fear of polar bears). Luckily Steven and I were able to celebrate in solidarity!

First, I decided to make the most Natalie kind of cupcake I could think of:

Pink frosting+glitter sprinkles+something called "cake pearls"!

“Wow, Patricia,” you are saying. “Those cupcakes are SO FANCY! There is no way the inside could be as great as the outside.” WRONG AGAIN, dear reader. Read the rest of this entry »

New Project: The Crayon is Mightier

So because I decided, crazily, that I don’t have enough self-imposed responsibilities on top of all the school/work/interning stuff, I’ve started a tumblr called The Crayon is Mightier to showcase my art. Yes, little known fact: I am an artist. I mainly work in crayons and coloring books. Pretty much exactly like a four-year-old except with hilarious captions. Here is a sample of my work:

Side bonus of this project: I get to teach true science facts.

Basically, I was sitting on a plane with crayons and a Planet Earth coloring book and realized that if I was going to color everything in it true to life, I would never get to use the many different shades of purple, and would pretty much run out of brown. Lame. So I decided to take it to the next level, and then share my unique vision with the world. I assume I will eventually acquire non-Planet Earth coloring books, but I’m okay making up alternate science facts for now.

Updating at midnight apparently whenever Tumblr feels like it, hopefully daily, 7 days a week. You’re welcome.

An Art Apology

It’s been a long week. So here’s some art I did by way of a wedding card!

It's supposed to be a kite

I’m thinking about starting a greeting card company if this librarian thing doesn’t work out.
