Oh, to be this cool! So cool that your skin turns blue. An old one, but definitely worth posting.

Blue Devil Jeans
Some of you may have noticed my Portfolio page remains under construction– due, it so happens, to a mix of blurry photos and several unsatisfactory projects still in need of replacement! While I work towards creating the Perfect Portfolio that Is Everything I Could Ever Want, here are a few snapshots of one my better projects, Blue DevilJeans.
Before I reshoot this I plan on branding a pair of socks to go with them, so that our Blue Devil’s hooves won’t get chilly . . .
A Professional Disagreement
I admit, I drew this mostly as an excuse to create flowing trouser lines . . . .
Japonisme profile
For this I drew inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, and I have to say, I’m quite pleased with the result; time and effort certainly pays off in the long run! I’m hoping to create more stuff in this delicious style, with minimal colors, and a flat effect. This was originally going to be a new logo for my page, but as these things go, It got too complex to be adequately reduce-able. That, and it looks nothing at all like me!
The Governor-General
Here’s a Governor-General.
Not any particular one, just a random one all decked out in his finest Court uniform and cocked hat with plumes, looking just as splendid as a viceregal representative ought to. No more explanation is necessary, I think. . .
I used a white marker for the elaborate embroidery, although I think a dip pen and my trusty white india ink would have served me better.
Frazzled
More dip pen goodness. . . . she wasn’t originally intended to look frazzled, but her hair came out messy and then everything else naturally had to match.
Marching monks
Another portfolio project. 
Formosa Girl
One of my favorite projects. I did the original one over a weekend, after learning I was way behind on one of my class projects. For my portfolio class I added two more to make a set, with color and pattern variations.
Formosa was a vintage fashion line for the sake of the project, but for me its a reference to an aesthetic paradise where everyone dresses well. ( see the link on my homepage. )
The Green Suit
Is he dancing? Is he about to dance? Or is he simply walking extravagantly? Only he knows. One thing’s for sure though, that is is a very fine suit indeed . . . Ink + alcohol marker
