I’ve been under quarantine all week with a bad bad cold. All I’ve had to draw with was a children’s mini watercolor set I got as a stocking stuffer in 2008. Always keep emergency ~~armadillos~~ art supplies on hand.

In the frenzy of all that was our thesis show, graduation, visitors and more graduation, I forgot to make internet claims about my latest book, entre chien et loup.

Internet claim #1: I bear no responsibility for any animal stereotyping that may occur in this book.

Internet claim #2: I bare no bears in this book.

I don’t know how I feel about arranged marriages, but with these two, wasn’t it inevitable?

How do you feel about rats on the subway?

How do you feel about rats are the subway?

No wonder there are no apartments for rent.

The name is Andy. As in Andouille. I’m all wound up. Much too wound up to go on dates.

But lo, I have made it all the way to American Illustration 32! I am a sexy devil and you have underestimated me. You may not taste any of my wieners.

MFA Illustration as Visual Essay at SVA: Student Spotlight on: Sarah Klinger (MFAI '13):

mfaillustration:

I “inntertubed” or interviewed the puntastic Sarah Klinger about her work:

1. How did you get here? “Here” being NY and this program, but also
how you’re drawing or working now.

It’s funny, I studied French and psychology, dreamed of a career in viticulture or entomology and…

Can we all pretend that I am famous in Taiwan now? I was interviewed for DPI magazine’s quarterly ‘Meticulous’ issue. I am so honored! Now if only I could get myself over to Taiwan, where I would delight in all of the edible things with tentacles.

…And maybe even draw them!

On the one hand, it is lucky to have good vision. On the other hand, it is unlucky not to have to wear alligator eyeglasses.

At SVA, we were asked to illustrate a fellow classmate for the invitation poster to our thesis show. And I got Hyunyoung Kim! Which is awesome, because not only is she one of my favorite illustrators, but also my all-time favorite at glasses fashion.

What do you get a snow boot that has everything? Luckily, some boots suffer from pet allergies, ripped underpants, an uncontrollable song problem, a natural deodorant fetish and a penchant for gefilte.

Now the boot has everything.

Contents include:

Matzo Miles reward card, a ‘Stu’s Miami Miasma stink stick,’ the taco-boat from the hit song ‘Let’s give them something to taco boat,’ Neon Hello Kitty skivvies in XS nylon and a weird hairless cat.

This is Molly. Distracted by an invisible pigeon. Hi Molly! I will finish this illustration later. For now, it is very late at night, so I present Molly without a pigeon, in a world without filling. Molly needs a pigeon and her world needs frosting, for sure.

I am supposed to be concentrating on my thesis, but instead I am obsessing over the mass of keys I have accumulated over the years. In this case, I guess it is a herd of keys? Needless to say, if you find a mole, moose or rhinoceros that needs unlocking, I can help.

It looks to me like this newt is feeling romantic. But he doesn’t like to talk about it.

The regrettable 29… Come to Tuffet this Saturday night at nine. We can draw shrimpmonsters and spill wine on them. This bar is my favorite— it has a ‘library’ room with a big table for playing exquisite corpse.

Once again, Walrus has triumphed over an identity crisis! And he has done it without the help of weapons or religion! Decent burritos may be scarce on the East Coast, but if a walroso can get sabroso, I know there is hope.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a person could devote their entire life to cataloging obese cats.
