i’m curious, for your travel photos, do you edit pictures of you at the places or do you specifically take pics to draw over?? :0 the pics look like so much fun, but i don’t think i’d have the presence of mind to remember to take pics just for drawing on w
I specifically take pictures to draw myself into later. It's just habit at this point, I've been doing it so long. And a lot of the pictures that I take turn out to not work when I eventually get to drawing in them. So I'm just in the habit of taking lots and lots of pictures hoping one will work out right. ^_^

Drink by Fat Girl Hedonist
Description: A two panel comic. The first image shows myself drinking something dark from a jar. A speech bubble shows me saying ‘Whoa damn, this Halloween Mimosa is pretty great.’ Below that, between panels reads: 'Plight of the Sleepy Drunk.’ The second panel shows me face-planting as the drink takes hold. I am a lightweight. It happens.

Description: An illustration of a building in dim blue light. The interior of the building contrasts with rooms warmly lit through the glass windows. At the top of the illustration, illuminated from inside the building is the word ‘Run.’ Outside, a figure stands dead center, looking at the camera. Beneath their feet, the entire picture is reflected in a pool of dark water. The only difference is that the figure in the reflected image has glowing eyes.

Description: A photo of a mural from Hotel McCoy in Tuscon. The mural is a blue wall with flying saucer in the center. Rings are coming down from the saucer to abduct some poor soul. Smaller illustrations of teeth, ears, crystals, and plants line the edges. An illustration of myself walks past the mural, looking at the camera.
