Update!

WOW-it's been five months since I've posted...that's so bad!!! ANYWAYS-now that I have found a little bit of inspiration to go back and work on my website, I've started trying something new. So my site is up-it's still in progress, because, well, nothing is done yet-no links, no artwork, nada. BUT-the front page, and the digital page fronts are up-and they pretty much denote how the whole thing is going to look anyways. SO-go check it out: www.michellemauk.com There's also a flash image with my newest idea...

Like I said-it's in progress. In other news-I'm off to Japan Friday for a few days for business. Off to Tokyo I go. I'm a little nervous.

Plus, it's during my birthday.

ANYWAYS-that's the latest!

Stuff I've been working on!

Ahhh,

I've been so busy. But here's what I've been working on for my work. Graphic Design for Comic Books. Yay! I do the logos, jacket design, interior cover design, layout, and so on. It's been a whirlwind of craziness, but I've really been enjoying it. Anyways, here are four out of the ten I've done so far for DMP-these just happen to be some of my favorites. In stores in May-August!

VM filler for awhile...

Ah, so I have this piece (another filler), as I gather myself together. It's been a far busier couple months than I thought it would be-and I'm trying to work my way towards a laptop and some software-so I can continue to make art. Yay! But-sadly, VM will have to go on hold for awhile-it's been schizophrenic the last couple of months and I'm sure people are tired of that.

I want to perfect and get a couple of my skills together-especially when it comes to drawing, design and coloring, and *danger*! I have a new idea looming in my head that I want to write all out.

So-that's how it is right now.

Outspoken and Filler Update!

Well,because of a commission-I couldn't finish my page-but luckily we have a "ahem' holiday of sorts-and I made a pinup. But if you want more VM-you can read my Outspoken interview on Girlamatic today HERE

Anyways-I've gotta get going on to bed so I'm not exhausted tomorrow.

VM Page 52-Third Section

Gosh-how many sections will there be? Anyways-I'm a day late because I can't seem to keep my days straight anymore. *Sigh. I think that's a sign of getting older right there.

Anyways-to bed!

VM next section-splash page!

And the next section is about to begin...

I put up last week's page because I forgot to post that it went up. So forgetful. Anyways, off to bed I go!

VM page 49

Happy New Year!!!! I'm so lame-I should've done this post last night, but now I'm at work with no access to my artwork-but....VM has updated? Finally? Yeeeeesssss, it has! I obviously haven't posted in my blog for awhile, but I've been working so much, and then I was in New York, and then I'm transitioning between two jobs, and then I got to see friends I haven't seen in yeeeearrrrsss, and...and....well, let's just say I try hard to hole myself up in my home and avoid the outside world, but it hasn't been easy! So go ahead and take a gander over here: http://girlamatic.com/comics/voyage.php

I saw Sweeney Todd, loved it! What beautiful art direction! It's still typically Burton, but I thought it was just so entertaining, and moved along much more than a lot of his other films. I loved hearing Johnny Depp sing-I mean, how brave is that? That takes some nerve to go-yeah, I'll be the demon barber, and I'll sing a musical, and not an exceptionally easy musical either.

I do have some resolutions for the new year-for sure I want to redo my website and get that done, I want to keep on top of VM-provided I'm not traveling or out of town, and I want to make sure I take advantage of my health insurance-and go and take care of my eyes, my teeth, and my body (not necessarily in that order). I can't take for granted that I've been fortunate enough to be relatively healthy in my life, and I think the way my mom raised my sister and I was smart and focused-which was to eat well (fish, rice and veggies), keep your weight at a healthy level, and reduce reliance on any medication. I still have an adverseness to medication-I don't like to take anything if I can help it.

Anyways, as it is, I can't believe how quickly time goes by-and I'm looking forward to what this new year brings. Hopefully it'll be unusual. :)
