i had the honor of doing this piece for the Great Lakes Garrison, the Michigan 501st Legion.
they asked me to do this R2-KT/Leia piece that they could present to the 501st founder, Albin Johnson at the Motor City Comic Con this weekend.



the R2-KT story is so touching... if you aren't familiar with it, i highly suggest you read up on it!

and i'll be at the motor city con saturday and sunday! come by and see me ;-)

a new self-portrait for the cover of my 2008 convention sketchbook:



...in keeping with my unofficial, "katie with her pets in some sort of superhero pajamas" theme from years past. well, i guess now it's official.

doodle doodle doodle sketch sketch sketch.

busy getting stuff done for TOPPS and getting ready for the MOTOR CITY COMIC CON this weekend. iffun' you're coming, i'll be there saturday and sunday ONLY! so plan accordingly ;-)

i would like to thank all the folks who have been sending me otter pictures since my freak out over them last week.

"OMG! OTTERS!" they could be the next LOLcat people...







this one reminds me of my dad... if he were an otter:

Ahsoka Tano:

check out my new icon, katie can make cute icons! if i can spare a minute in today's schedule, i'm drawing an otter.

oh, and enjoy more cards:

a few commissions... oh my! there's a bit o' skin showin'! O_o

davario's "draw yourself as a teen meme:

i was a pudgy, depressed, cranky teenager.
my fellow students had a WONDERFUL array of nicknames for me from middle school until the day i graduated... just thinking about it gives me the willies. blech.


... now, at 26, i'm in my cute, happy days, awesome prime. what were you like in high school?

otters are so F**KING cute, it may not even be fair that we share the earth with them.


in fact, looking at otters, i think the way i draw Chewie is exactly the way i'd draw an otter. there you go, that's why my chewie drawings are so cute, i just solved the mystery.


...if i had a pet otter, i'd name him "ollie" and put him in a little green arrow costume. he could shoot arrows with little fish tied to the ends.

marvel actually approved these.

...HA!
