Fashion and space, two of my very favorite things! I drew this while I was in a sci-fi frenzy, reading Orson Scott Card novels and having just watched Caprica.

Wow, this is a weekend of holidays! It’s Chinese New Year this Sunday!!! Yay for the year of the Tiger! It’s also Valentine’s Day, then President’s Day, then Mardi Gras…and the Winter Olympics just kicked off! What a blast of fun! So, have a Happy Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, President’s Day and Mardi Gras everyone!

Inspirations: the real-life cat Martini (who is gloriously hypo-allergenic, and so sweet), The Origami Oracle (of course!), retro cartooning and watching the movie Coraline in 3D and at the magical Arlington theater in Santa Barbara.
