my cousin Becky is beautiful and talented and she asked me to do a p0rtrait of her, so here you go Beckster:

Becky recently purchased the best gift for me ever: a ticket home to see my family! Here is a picture of all of us a White Sands:
love you Becky/Buckst*r/Young Buck

I just want to say: Thank You Jedidiah!!

:D

This piece is entitled Trial and Error, and it is ink on paper.

The image on the left was designed by Nat, the image on the right was designed by me!

I came home after work one day, and Nat had done that first piece while I was gone. It struck me so hard and so deeply I was immediately inspired to create the second piece. I dreamed about it and the next day, that second piece poured out of my head onto another sheet of paper. This is our first "real" collaboration! so proud....

Here are some details:

Our former collaborations consisted of hours of sharing a laptop in bed taking turns drawing with a Wacom tablet and they look something like this:

thats from 2008, when we first started dating! aw!

BTW NAT HAS A BLOG AND YOU SHOULD GO LOOK AT IT.

NAT'S BLOG!

he's a really amazing artist. I feel so blessed to have the luxury of being inspired by him on a daily basis. now you can too! :)

ok, that is all. love!

Hola! So today I got off work early and went for a bike ride around Savannah. The sunset was approaching, the air was hotter than biscuits and sticky, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I jammed out to some sweet tunes on my shuffle (best purchase i've made in a while), and looked at the pretty mansions 0n Washington Ave. *sigh* to have a house like that someday.....

The past few weeks has been a scramble to make some cash by rent time, I overdrafted my account for the first time ever ON BILLS (usually I'm good about saving my money), and i was freakin out. Sketching helped me a bit, and the discovery of my new favorite band, Menomena, which may be the most amazing music I have ever heard. You need to hear them before you die. I even bet listening to them while dying will make the experience more enjoyable. Anyway, here is a compilation of recent sketches:

The following image (and some variations) have been floating around my blog lately, but here is the final flyer for Megan's senior fashion show which I designed. The show was great, the models were gorgeous, and the clothes were amazing:

adios!

SketchzillaPenTime!

Just wanted to take a couple minutes to update you on where, I think, my style may be heading in the future. At least my sketchbook is starting to look like this. Its fun to draw with ink, because that means all you can make is happy mistakes! No erasers allowed. Whenever I draw with a pencil i end up erasing everything anyway, so draw

ing with a pen has forced me to just keep going, and I am loving it so far!

Here's a detail from the middle one:

If you get a chance, go check out Drawgasmic, the show is this Friday, July 10!!

HELLO THERE --UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM!!!

Hi Everyone!!

It has been forever and a day since i last posted, but my mid-year resolution is to change that. I got a new job last week and I have found some new inspiration recently and here are a couple things i wanted to show you! The first is my Drawgasmic submission , which i told you all about in my last entry. PLEASE go check out the event, its going to be AWESOME! (www.drawgasmic.com)

Myself, my boyfriend Nat, and my cousin Becky as well as about 5 other of my friends that I know of will all have pieces up in the show! Mine is called No One Ever Told You?

In other news, I went to Italy last month, and it was amazing. There we are out in front of St. Peter's Basilica!

And last but not least, I just finished a new piece entitled "Resolve".

It is a personal piece about a long conversation I had with my mom recently. After i finished, i realized that the illustration board i painted it on now smells like coffee and keeps making me hungry.

and that is all for now! be expecting me back soon.

love Cassie

!!UPDATE!! I sold this painting last week to an amazing photographer and a good friend George Gill: he takes amazing wedding photographs and beautiful fashion ones as well. He's also one of the most hilarious dudes I've ever met, as well as the kindest and most talented. Please go check out his website at http://savannahweddingphotography.com/.

get published

I forgot to tell you, my boyfriend Nat (check his work here), my cousin Becky (her work here!), and myself all got accepted to Drawgasmic! If you are an artist and you think you're pretty cool, you should apply! The process was pretty easy and I got an email about 15 minutes after I applied announcing that I was accepted. There is going to be a huge show in June and then everyone will get their piece published in a Drawgasmic book! pretty sweet.... now do it!

here is a little sketch from my new sketchbook i just got (i'm in love! i can ink and watercolor the pages) enjoy!
