Sketch Blog: stephsketches.blogspot.com

I am the restless sort, a walking ball of contradictions and at times skittish, but I am also trustworthy, sentimental to a fault and one of the sweetest people you'll meet. I'm a woman who enjoys her creature comforts - bubble baths, soft floofy blankets and anything with sugar in it, but I never really understood the deal with make-up and shoes that aren't sneakers. I draw. Lots. I want to get better at it and tell stories with it. There's no better way for me to be understood than with just the right lines or colors.

Click here to buy my book! It's called Sketch or Swim and you can get a signed copy for only $12 (plus shipping). It's 28 pages, full-color and features a year in artwork from my strange little mind.

My Interests

Drawing, sculpting, animation and video games. I'm a bio-dork and love to watch nature documentaries or take my field guide into the woods during a hike. I also like shopping for nifty hats, antiques and silver jewelry.

I'd like to meet:

People who are as patient as they are passionate. Inspired folks - if you do something well then dammit, you better be stoked about it! Others who appreciate poop humor, nifty hats, tiramisu and looking for color swatches in a sunset.

Music:

..

I made this music player at MyFlashFetish .com.

Movies:

Last Unicorn, Eternal Sunshine, Ratatouille, Persepolis, The Incredibles, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, My Neighbor Totoro, Adolescence of Utena and many much more.

Television:

Mythbusters and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends... not much needs to be said.

Heroes:
