Recent xtrapulp challenge- This time from Griffin! – Life’s little mysteries….

Maybe science has a few ideas on this one, but overall, menstrual synchrony is still one of my personal favorite little mysteries. Further intriguing since I learned that in Hawaii its customary for ladies to adorn themselves with a white or red flower, depending on where they are in their cycle. Additional information such as marital status can be gleaned by which side of the ear the flower is tucked. Maybe its TMI for our society, but I love the subtle communication with flowers. Plus, getting to wear a red flower is a nice consolation prize considering what the week has in store for you.

This week’s xtrapulp challenge : MAP!

My favorite challenge topic so far.

zoom in! :

Last week’s xtrapulp illustration challenge : Spring Break!

This week’s topic brought to you by xtra pulp : Escape!

Of all the ways one could escape, and I thought of many… this seemed the most appealing,
and also the most realistic.

I love the blog cephalopod tea party. I love it so much, it apparently seeps into my mind
subconsciously while drawing. Anyhow, I got to pick this weeks xtra pulp challenge, Tea Party!
Which, I’m pretty excited about. I am trying to work in my sketch book more, and rely less
on Photoshop, but in the end, I had to try out some color variants. Not sure which I like.

Thoughts?

More tea party fun coming soon on xtrapulp.

We took a bit of a hiatus from xtra pulp over the past few weeks…
But here is my belated landscape – tooth city.

More to come- with big news from two new time zones! Stay tuned!!

For xtra pulp challenge 002, I got to pick the topic! (yay!)
I thought it would be fun to see what everyone looked like as their totem animals…

Here is me! :

And here is Griffin! :

See all the goodies over at xtra pulp

we have banded together with the talented folks over at xtrapulp once again to bring forth
a new weekly illustration theme challenge thing! our first challenge this week was to
make a quick drawing of what you think your last meal is going to look like. here are our
submissions!

Ava did this… delicious, but-oh-so-risky fugu sashimi.

Griffin did this… a bit more lowbrow, but still delicious and deadly nonetheless…

Also! Ava submitted her piece before anyone else so she now gets to choose what next week’s theme
will be. I haven’t the foggiest what it’s going to be so stay tuned.
