Eat your heart out, hipsters.

DON'T STEAL MY IDEA.

2012-01-09T10:59:00.001-05:00

"Haters gonna hate." is my new mantra. I really am too busy doing awesome shit to acknowledge the negative and miserable. If you're happy, you're doing it right.

Today's gonna be a great day!

Special thanks to the virus that led this rebellion.

This blog should now be labeled NSFW, since I have a picture of a rectum on it.

What I was doing instead of posting...

2011-12-26T17:01:00.002-05:00

Hey guys! Happy Holidays and New Year! Sorry for the missing posts, recently. Here's what I've been painting for the past couple of weeks:

This painting is gigantic (well, the biggest I've ever done.)

The majority has spoken.

I have also made a blank version of this, so you can print it out and make your own and send it to your best friend.

You're welcome.

The downside of being persuasive.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

2011-11-21T11:23:00.003-05:00

Walk it out...

2011-11-14T14:25:00.003-05:00

Good party....Probably a good party.

2011-11-07T13:22:00.005-05:00

I started working on this post a long time ago and just now finished it. It WAS a good party.

I'm handling it, though. Because of my ten arms.

Those frozen yogurt places are trusting you to be all healthy about it, but I think they know what they've created.

First post from the Wacom Cintiq

2011-08-01T09:35:00.003-04:00

I encourage you to play the same music that Starcat is listening to, while reading this comic:

Tell me how you like the new gadget's art!

The only way to travel!

2011-07-25T12:18:00.000-04:00

Wacom Cintiq...my brain asploding.

2011-07-19T10:21:00.003-04:00

I have never had so much trouble with a piece of electronics. Post will be up soon.

Oh dear...

2011-07-11T11:35:00.004-04:00

The whole time I was drawing this, I had "Material Girl" running through my head. At first, I thought Starcat Spangler would probably like that, but then I imagined him telling me that, "He's tired of hearing that song about himself." in his German accent. Starcat is really much more into German dubstep remixes of really obscure indie bands, anyway.

For those of you not already familiar with this wildly-entertaining-for-the-first-20-seconds meme, educate yourselves:

Booze Pinata

2011-06-27T13:28:00.003-04:00

I have a few points to make here:

1. WHY GOD didn't you bring this to my attention earlier in my life?
2. I want these all the time.
3. It can only go downhill from here. This is the pinnacle of my fun-having.
4. My friend, Sarah, is a genius. If I had a Lisa Frank diary, she would be in there, like, all the time.
5. Seriously. Only downhill from here.

Another handy chart:

2011-06-20T12:43:00.003-04:00

My hypothesis is: Shut up.

Burning the candle at both ends...

2011-06-13T12:52:00.001-04:00

Too much party. It's either too little party or too much. Those are your only options.

Here's to being cranky later...

This is exactly what dating is like.

You have a new match!

2011-05-02T13:47:00.002-04:00

Thanks to Chris, who gave me this idea.

I bet you're jealous you didn't think of this idea.

2011-04-25T13:46:00.002-04:00

It's simple! Pretty dresses! On evil children!

Something is probably wrong with me.

Just for Everyone!

2011-04-17T19:35:00.002-04:00

I don't know about anyone else, but I believe everything my older sister says... sometimes like a brainwashed zombie with no free will.

She'll be like, "These are not the droids you're looking for." and I'll be like, "No, they're not. You're right."

Stankbugs

2011-04-11T12:21:00.003-04:00

Yeah, so, I still hate them.

Last week's caption contest was a success! Susanne won with her caption:

"So she's like 'can you scan this so it's all in one attachment?' and I'm all like 'no' because I basically have zero training with the scanner and it will take somebody a way shorter time to open six attachments tha...n it will take me to learn how to scan six pages into one attachment, right?"

She will be in next week's comic. That's her prize! Yay! Awesome! Right, guys??

Snake Party

2011-04-03T19:09:00.001-04:00

This is what a snake party may look like.

Please submit a caption. Maybe you'll win a prize!

I made a cartoon. Happy Monday!

2011-03-20T22:45:00.002-04:00

I recently aquired an iPad. It's pretty much the future.

Sorry for the sloppiness. Hopefully, I'll get used to this new shindig.

Stinkbugs- People, too?

2011-03-18T23:33:00.002-04:00

Woo! Look who's updating again! My new schedule, for the time being, is going to be every Monday. Happy times.

Stinkbugs have been making me miserable, lately. I've found that naming them...is completely sick. Anyway, here is a stinkbug memoriam.

NO DANCING OR SUDDEN MOVEMENT, EITHER.

2010-03-03T20:23:00.003-05:00

Today I received an email from a friend's mom asking how my dog, Daisy, was doing. She went on and on about how sweet she was when she visited and how she's never met such a nice dog. I answered back that she was great and was still sweet as ever.

I failed to mention that Daisy is totally freaked out by any physical contact, hovering, clapping, dancing...or talking to her...or looking at her. I mean, she is a good dog, but is pretty much a wimp... a big wimp who yells at people when they have too much fun.

This is what she looks like.

Thinkin' 'bout Twilight

2010-01-27T21:54:00.002-05:00

No seriously, he's going to break up with me soon, probably.

Here is my acknowledgement of having read the Twilight series. And also my acknowledgement of it, in all likelihood, not being a good idea. Does this count as Twilight fan art?

PS: TIWWY experts would be able to tell that this is an inauthentic Kristin fantasy. Notice the proportional hair-height and lack of chest augmentation.

Sick! I'm sick.

Lesbian Proposal Comic Book

2009-10-08T22:02:00.004-04:00

Ok, I said I would post what I've been working on (semi) lately. This is the book I wrote and illustrated for the woman wanting to propose to her girlfriend: Proposal Book

Among my favorites in the book:

From L Proposal Book

and

From L Proposal Book

Anyway, enjoy! This project took me about 150 hours. I was paid about $2/hr, but am happy with the finished product.

Luke thinks about moustaches...

Cash-Moneystache is my new favorite thing that I just made up.

Venus Flytrap Bouquet

2009-10-06T18:47:00.002-04:00

So, part of the reason I haven't posted much in the past few months is that I've been doing a lot of other art projects... I've been non-digital painting. At some point I also illustrated a 25 page book for a lesbian wanting to propose to her girlfriend (maybe I'll post a link to that tomorrow.)

Anyway, I figured I'd share a little of what I've been doing recently.

I'm going to make about 3 more of these because I love them:

That's one of them, anyway.

Thank you for pumping my dog's stomach!

2009-10-02T15:19:00.002-04:00

So, recently I came home from work to find that my 5 lb dog had eaten about a half pound of dark chocolate. Needless to say, I googled and arrived at a vet's office in a little less than 8 min.
She's fine now, besides being a little tweaky. Here is the thank you card I made for the vets:

New England summer ... does it even exist??

What it's like to take naps in Boston

2009-07-28T12:47:00.002-04:00

Ok, ok... Now, admittedly, I take a lot of naps. And they are in the middle of the day, because naps at night are called "sleep." So being woken up by pedestrians is bound to happen. What I don't understand is why exactly people feel the need to do the following:

Feign vomiting noises for 15 minutes (thanks random 10 year old girls on the street!)
Have a screaming fight with your boyfriend under my window
Scream like a horrific accident just occured, have your friends join in.
Drive a musical ice cream truck by my house 16 times
Set off fireworks in the middle of the day
Have a loud cell phone conversation about how your kids are assholes under my window
Drive a giant trash truck onto my street and leave it there for 45 minutes.

Whatever. I chose to live in the city. I choose to take naps at any point during the day.

I would really like to start posting in this regularly. Also, I've switched back to Corel, which is a pain in my butt, but I think it looks better. It's probably time for me to steal Illustrator from someone.

Check yourself.

one more valentine

2009-02-14T12:32:00.001-05:00

another valentine, as promised

2009-02-12T23:31:00.002-05:00

Edit: Only one valentine today... I was having some trouble with the print quality of the others I posted. I'll fix them and put them up tomorrow.

Shit yeah, this counts as a post!

2009-02-11T23:48:00.003-05:00

Hello, my darling dears. I am finishing up my line of valentines and will be posting more in the next couple of days. There should be some pretty good ones...

Instead of printing them out and sending them to you, I've decided to post printable versions right on TIWWY. And instead of billing you, I'm installing an optional Paypal button to your right, with suggested donations of $2-$5. Donations will go to the "Kristin gets to eat again" fund and the "If Kristin Doesn't Make Some Money, These Blog Posts Are Gonna Be the First to Go" Association.

For Valentine's day, Straight-non-anime-version-of-Starcat-Spangler and I are taking his little sister out to a diner that offers all you can eat macaroni and cheese. I'm teaching her early..."See? This is what it's like to be single...AWESOME. People buy you dinner and you can eat macaroni and cheese ALL THE TIME."

More Valentines tomorrow!

Another tribute to Cosmo the dog.

Valentine #2

2008-10-04T00:41:00.004-04:00

I'm considering making a bunch of Valentines like this one and the Elephant Seal, with the intention of selling them in sets of 8 or so. They'd be like... 5 bucks. Would anyone be interested?

But not because of money issues.

2008-09-25T11:58:00.005-04:00

Not even close.
