Wine Helps Me Drink (2019)

October 27, 2019

This is my second piece of Bob’s Burgers fan art, and it’s far more subtle than the first. Two tilted wine glasses appear in negative space, along with shapes to indicate that they’re clinking. The text forming the shapes includes a quote from Linda Belcher:

“Wine helps me drink!”

To complete this piece, I cut down a large sheet of watercolor paper to 12 x 12 inches. I measured out an outside border of a half inch on each edge, then used a projector to get the positioning of the wine glasses just right.

Once the outline was in place, I began by filling in the “wine” section with a purple Sakura Micron Pigma 005 pen. I moved onto the black section afterward, slowly rotating the paper and filling the designated area to completion. This took approximately three weeks, though I took breaks between sessions to work on smaller pieces.

After breathing a deep sigh of relief, I erased the pencil lines and scanned the piece in four separate sections. These were then stitched together to form the final digital version. As of now, this piece remains unframed, but I do hope to show it somewhere in the near future.

Is this piece available?

“Wine Helps Me Drink!” is available as a limited edition print in my online shop.

Buttloose (2019)

May 8, 2019

In December 2018, I dabbled in fan art with a tribute to the “Bad Tina” episode of Bob’s Burgers. The piece includes an outline of Tina Belcher as she appeared in the episode’s fantasy sequence. It’s filled in with a line from her erotic friend fiction “Buttloose”:

"Everyone touches each other’s butts, and it was great.”

To complete this piece, I (shamefully) used a projector to trace an outline of Tina, because I didn’t trust myself to do her justice. Carefully, I followed the outline with a black pen, then rotated the paper to fill in the text with both black and pink pens.

The piece felt flat with a white background. I experimented with a few different options before cutting it out with an X-Acto knife, then pasting it onto a pink sheet of paper for an extra pop of color.

This version sat in my studio for months, because it felt unfinished. Meanwhile, I was too scared to “finish” it, because I was afraid that any additions might ruin it.

After staring at it in frustration, I eventually scanned it. My intentions were to fool around with it digitally, but when I saw it on the screen, I realized it had been complete ever since I pasted it onto that pink sheet of paper. With a few small edits, I was satisfied with this simple, final version.

Is this piece available?
