This sketch is done from a photograph taken for the Fat Naked Art Project by Durham photographer Heather Kolaya, and you should click that link to see the original image and explore their site for some inspiring photos.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Stretch MarksThanks to a discussion I had today about the idea of painting stretch marks with glitter as a new fashion trend, I was inspired to draw this. Another piece in the Love Your Body series.
Over the last few years I have learned to love my stretch marks. I have them and have had some since I was in grade school. For years I stopped looking at them and recently I’m noticing them again, but this time with affection. The marks on the small of my back look like vines growing up to my spine, and I think it’s gorgeous. I can’t really capture myself but I can be inspired by myself. This drawing is me, and so many other women. I’ve used pieces of myself and pieces of other to make this statement. I drew this using both my micron pens for the black and a quill with ink for the purple.

Daily Creativity: Happy Cheap Candy Day!!!February 15th is Cheap Candy Day. Rory loves the day after Valentines day because it’s also the day candy goes on sale. Tonight I drew him crapped out after overdosing on candy, with a big tum sleeping on the wrappers. Don’t worry, He’ll finish when he wakes up.

Daily Creativity: Bacon Valentine@BigBaconBrkfst asked me to feature Bacon in a Daily Creativity since he had given up Bacon for Lent. It was a fitting request so I thought what better than to create a Valentine?

Rory & Deadpool – Deadrawr & Rawrpool!Tonight I saw Deadpool, but I started this before I even went to the movie. This movie was one of the most anticipated movies I’ve been to in a long time, and it paid off. I give the film 10/10, but don’t worry, I won’t spoil it. Instead I give you Rory dressed as Deadpool, and Deadpool dressed as Rory. They are almost Super Bros, but more like Rawr Bros.

Seriously though, if you’re over 18, go see this movie. Do not bring your kids, kids should not see this movie, and it’s not because of the sex (there’s a lot) or the nudity (oh yeah) but because of the violence and gore and irresponsible gun and swordplay. Though for grownups, all of those things make it a great movie.
