SDCC 2018 Laika Live! | San Diego weekend
We took a quick weekend trip to the San Diego Comic Con! Fan fun and cosplay were everywhere to be found- but the highlight of the trip was the Laika Live offsite pop up!!
We were treated to Coraline's 'salty' ice cream (it was super strange and really tasty!), poster gifts, movies, interviews, characters, and three live demonstrations, and exhibits, exclusive merch, before walking through Laika movie sets and taking photos! It was a great time and worth the wait- so glad we went Friday afternoon before the huge crush on the weekend :)

Jeffree Star Fan Portrait | Digital Paint & Colour | Anjeanette Illustration
"Practice in Public"- Jeff Goins, Real Artists Don’t Starve
"To sketch @jeffreestar Take equal parts Lestat and Roman Goddess Venus, add 1/2 ounce Superfine Sugar, Apply sass liberally with the best brushes!"- me, being silly
About this sketch and digital painting:
I love Jeffree Star’s bone structure and he is a wizard at makeups- however, his bare face is really amazing to me. A week ago I got to sketch- what better way to relax then the fancy cosmopolitan drink that is J star??
In Photoshop with a Wacom Intuos Draw Creative Pen Tablet, I used Kyle T Webster brushes (my favorites) to try for an 18th century Marquis Aristocrat meets Modern posh vibe…a little bit kinda Sofia Coppola's Antionette-ish?
Lots of mistakes this time mainly due to the fact that I did not plan out the hair correctly and ended up playing with different styles on and on. But that was also a lot of fun so…shrug? I tried to keep it down to under 8 mins by clipping out the bits where I tried his trademark magenta hair (its fantastic on him but just wasn’t working with this palette to me) speeding up the screen recording to 2000 speed! Zoom zoom and all y’all!
Just a fun fan portrait, I do not claim nor own any intellectual property of the portrait subject, only this painting, etc etc.

Self Portrait May 2018 | Anjeanette Illusration
Quick video of how I coloured today's self portrait, with the first sketch and digital painting below. Def inspired by my "Master Study" challenge from yesterday of a painting by the amazing Sara Tepes! Sara is ALL the Ooh-La-La y'all!
I painted in Photoshop, using mostly Kyle T Webster brushes. I imported a phone photo of my pencil drawing to paint over. This technique os called 'glazing' where you paint completely in monochrome and then layer by layer add small percentages of colour. The digital equivilant to a glazed oil painting?
The self portrait is mine, the master study of Sara's work below is not mine- well the drawing I did yesterday was in my hand BUT the concept and original artwork is all hers. Whats the point of doing a Master Copy Study? To continue to grow in technique and experience! I have been painting and drawing all my life, but recently committed to 10,000 hours of practice in 2018 & 19 as suggested by Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers: The Story of Success.
A Master Study of work I admire seemed like a great addition to 10,000 hours of practice. I believe I did some master studies when I was enrolled in the Oatley Academy, and I KNOW I did them at SCAD. So. Many. Studies.
The point ISN'T to try to BE and STYLE just like another artist- its to learn from their process and then apply it to your own! I personally don't feel one has to "find" their style- I really think its a part of you, your story, and it just oozes out everytime you pick up a pen. Like, even with my study of Sara Tepe's painting... it is different. It's def not exactly like Sara's and never would I try to pass it off as hers! But watching her paint on her youtube account and trying my hand at it taught me a lot that I can apply to my personal work.

Breakfast Doodles | Phoenix Artist & Illustrator Anjeanette
I was thinking about my complete inability to master Snapchat, and it brought to mind those old mama's saying like "if you keep making those faces your face is gonna get stuck that way permanently!"
"Stuck That Way" 2018, Digital (Photoshop and Kyle Webster brushes)
The kids and I looked it up, totally inaccurate per scientific research. So if filters are the pulling faces of today, don't be scared to get slapped on the back- even if you do the antlers and rainbow puke won't stay there forever!

Card Prop | Anjeanette Illustration Quick Painting
I really like taking my time and slowly and carefully crafting my work- and sometimes time is of the essence!!!
In the "we need it now" category is a prop for my daughters marching band Alice themed show. Note that this is NOT a likeness of HBC from Burton's Alice- rather it is the same character costuming on a likeness of the high school actress from the band portraying The Red Queen for the show (who happens to have a lovely shaped head- this is def a caricature!)! Cos y'all KNOW I draw some HBC like there no tomorrow!
So this what I did with some glitter and about 5 hours hahahahaha charcoal sketch then acrylic on a very dry and unprimed18x24 bit of wood board from Lowe's!

Arya Stark | Anjeanette Illustration | Practice in Public | Digital painting
a "practice in public" (well interwebs) sketch that started hopefully... then stalled when I became obsessively fixated on keeping IN a poorly drawn eye. I mean the eye itself was great- but it wasn't the right eye- Masie's eye. Yet I wouldn't cut it! What would GRMM do? Kill your darlings, darling! So I painted right over that eye after 2 wasted days of trying to MAKE it work and started over. Ahhhh...much better now.
I am forever thankful for Sara Tepes videos for inspiration. Greyscale to coloured digital paintings are hard for me, pracrtice x3 right? I highly suggest Saras videos on youtube for inspiration and technique!
Thank you Ben Sound for use of the track "Instinct" in the screen capture video!

Stranger Things Matryoshka | Pop culture Nesting dolls | Anjeanette Illustration
Stretched composite of outside Stranger Things Matryoshka by Anjeanette Illustration
Finally finished up my fan art Stranger Things nesting dolls after getting distracted by that cross country move to Arizona! This outside Matryoshka doll was larger than I am used to, giving me more room to play with one of my favorite themes by adding an Eggo halo to Eleven. Who else is pumped for Season 2??
Always available for commissions! If your looking for a unique Christmas present...I like to have a 3 week lead time to create!

Deer Abigale | Follicles at The End | by Anjeanette Photography
Nashville Artist Abby Coppage is turning heads
in the art & music scene with vibrant art around town and venues like The End
One of my last stops in Nashville during the frantic packing sequence was a brief meet up with artist Abby Coppage of DeerAbigale, for a portrait and congratulations of her newest mural on Nashville's West End...at The End! I no doubt charmed her with my awkward social graces, but I was so happy to grab a quick hug from on of my Low Brow art heros before the move to Phoenix. Abby and I have shown a few times with the infamous Nashvegas Low Brow crowd, in shows curated around Nashville by friends Joe Melenson and Jeff Bertrand.
Paramore's Hayley Williams noticed Follicles mural
Just one of Abby's greatest blue eyed creations!
Rone | Nashville Packing Plant Mural 2014 | Portrait by Anjeanette Photography
Just a quick recap of a mural portrait I took of Rone in 2014. Fantastic article about Aussie native street artist by none other than Joe Nolan here.
This was Rone's FIRST Nashville mural, on the side of The Packing Plant in the Wedgewood-Houston arts district a heartbeat away from the old Sounds stadium.
Of course Rone came back for the spectacular downtown mural on the East wall of Cornerstone building on Church street- NOT to be missed.
Charlotte Bourgeon has a great post in Street Art Bio about that mural here
Check out that mural and all the amazing muralists that are a part of the Nashville Walls Project here.
