Weekend Getaways – Just Up the Road…
Getaway this weekend! Why not take advantage of the many scenic getaways along Highway 1, just down the road. Here are some spots not too far from town that some people have traveled the world for. Big Sur Some people don’t know where to start when it comes to Big Sur. As long as you […]
Illustration: Oh, the Places…
This morning’s illustration is titled, “Oh, the Places…” and is open to interpretation in more ways than one (take what you need). I used 05 Micron and a fine-point pink Sharpie. Artist- Julianna Chavez
Saturday Morning Cartoons: Minimalism
If you have become familiar with the Saturday Morning Cartoons posts/series, you probably know that I like to focus on minute details in my illustrations. This Saturday I thought that I would try something a little different. Whilst I am known for my extremely expressive drawings of faces, I thought that it would be […]
Disposables Series: The Spot
X marks the spot! Summer approaches and I’m eager to start the follow-up to my Disposables photography series. Until then, enjoy this throwback. (What streets am I on?) Artist- Julianna Chavez

Aside from making a few off-credit paintings in my free time, I now have the option to make digital paintings like this one, which I call, simply, Nude Peace. Although somewhat of a test run, […]
Illustration: Window Views
My family members often ask me why I don’t use rulers when I draw things with a straight edge, such as buildings and windows. The reason for that is not simply because I don’t have one, or because I’m lazy. The reason is all about perspective. Perspective is something that I consider to be […]
Saturday Morning Cartoons: portraits
This morning, I had the pleasure of drawing for UCSC Alumni and their families on this miraculously clear day. A rainbow-like halo affixed itself around the sun, with those gigantic trees fluffing themselves in the wind above happy children and prouder parents. Typically, I’m used to portrait-style live illustrations, but since kids will be […]
