So if you've been wondering what I've been up to, here's a little taste...I've been posting sketches every day for this project called sketchbet! You can find sketchbet here at http://sketchbet.tumblr.com/I've also been finishing up my 4 page comic for 'Womanthology'! Needless to say, September has been a busy month - here's to a comic-filled October (:

Hey all - I'm going to have 2 posts on my other website this week at http://threesf.wordpress.comI KNOW you all miss comics - this month has been absolutely crazy with finishing my cuz's wedding invitations, doing 3SF, working every day, and traveling my face off - but the comics aren't ending. They'll be back in good time.The 3SF I'm posting later this week I'll cross post here - it's written by

Stumptown was awesome! Thanks to everyone that came by!! I had so much fun on Saturday night where I inserted myself into the drawing competition. The challenge? Tweetybird and Popeye have a love child. The competition was boys vs. girls. Needless to say the girls dominated. Here are some photos and a few commissions...Also check out the "store" section up top if you'd like to order BUTTONS

New blog I'm doing with my sis - she does goofy things and I draw pictures of them!http://embarrassingthingslilydoes.tumblr.com/Sorry for the weird coloring this week - no tablet = funky colors. I think they kinda work though!I started a new job in the last week so I've been a little busy apologies if I seem MIA. Good to be working again!!Also in 3 weeks...STUMPTOWN!

the difference between "funemployment" and "unemployment"?Funemployment is 0-6 months after you either get laid off or voluntarily quit your job. Life is good, you drink in the park, eat goofy meals like chocolate cereal for dinner, and spend your days in a haze of sex, sunshine, and even creative freedom. Money is tighter but you've either saved enough or Uncle Sam is paying your bar tab and

In the last month I did another half marathon, went to Tahoe, threw a GOLD party and truth be told... the comic from last week as many people have asked was indeed a true story. Yesterday I FINALLY got to see my car that the hippy stole. Alas, he managed to put a pretty big dent into the front end so the old Ammo wagon will be in the body shop for a few weeks.I'm signed up for Stumptown Comics

Ohmigosh, only 1 more year 'til 2012. Apologies for the sparse updates in December - I got a temp job that had me working strange hours for the 2 weeks before Christmas, then Bogey and I went all over the place to Tahoe then Arizona. Regular updates should resume...twice a week is hopeful.I've noticed comics have been taking a lot longer since I've been doing more color work these days - so you

Hey lovely people! Last night I was pleasantly surprised to see this write-up about Sketchfervor! :http://fcwebcomics.wordpress.com/Updates may be a little wonky for the next few weeks with my work schedule, but I will try to get 2x comics up a week. Tues/Thurs maaaaay be difficult but like I said I'll try my darndest.:p

I've been meaning to draw this one for awhile.In other news, the thing that sucks about winter in San Francisco is that nobody has heat!

Busy busy lately - just got back in town from pheasant hunting which is why there's only 1 comic this week. Next week due to Thanksgiving there will likely just be one comic on Tuesday then we'll get back to regular updates in December.

Halloween was fun! My pinata costume was a hit, although people really wanted my candy-covered leotard. The Giants won the world series and everyone in SF went craaaaazy.I'm going hunting next weekend - I can't wait! I love pheasant hunting.Yellow House will start up again soon - I promise - I'm just enjoying loosening my muscles on these little one-shots for the time being. Also (not so much in

Lately I've been really diggin' magic cards. You get lost in the awesomeness of the card names and forget you've wasted another 6 hours in your boyfriend's hive of miscreants! (dang I love those miscreants...they're so much fun!) Anyway...I'll probably do a few more weeks of these one-shots until I get back into my Yellow House groove. Also, is anyone excited for Halloween?!?I LOVE HALLOWEEN

Hey guys! Some Sketchfervor news:-"Yellow House" is just on hold 'til I can get a new brush pen-APE was a great success! Thanks for anyone that stopped by my booth!!!At APE I did a bunch of little watercolor commissions. Below are a few samples (you name it, I'll draw it!) If you want one, email me at aaltavena@gmail.com and we can negotiate a size/price (:Tomorrow I turn 24! TWENTYFOUR!

I'm back! Yellow House is being printed as we speak for APE (the Alternative Press Expo), this weekend at the Concorse in San Francisco. Above are a few sketches from my travels - more to come and hopefully once the APEcrazy is over I'll have time to start cranking on comics again. Traveling was amazing, exhausting, intense, rewarding, uuuh delicious (specifically Italy). Anywho, thus begins

I'll be back October 5th!The cool thing is...I'll be getting ready for APE when I get back - hopefully selling V.1 of Yellow House. The second cool thing is that like any person with the fervor for sketching I'll be bringing pens and a sketchbook which I'll most definitely share upon my return.Also if any of you say 'Eat, Pray, Love' to me one more time I'm going to smack you upside the head!

My scanner is in the back of my car as I travel due to voluntary homelessness for the next month. Updates will continue. I thought snakes were going to bite my ankles on my run tonight (I'm in AZ) only to find out from my mom the holes were caused by little desert rodents.If you haven't yet, read Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie.Holy cow!

Hm, what to write. It's been hard to write anything lately since everything seems to be in flux at the moment. It looks like I'll be giving up my apartment for a month to save money, hang with my mom, do some road trippin - but the plan is to keep this puppy updating. I'm currently {fun}employed, basically biding my time 'til India/Italy in September, after which I plan on gettin' a steady j0rb.

I'm a little stressed! I have a fulltime job, 3 freelance projects, and an updating comic. Things these days are a little crazy to say the least! This weekend I'm going to:~get caught up on the comic~get caught up on freelance~wax my brows~throw a party~take a napMy pants have a fist sized rip in the butt. I'm wearing them at the office.

So, I've been encouraged to draw a comic relating to some things that happened this weekend at Bay to Breakers (a race/ costume party/ drinky fest) from the Bay Bridge (lookie my costume!) to the Ocean. I don't think I'm ready though. This week will be processing, detoxing, getting ready for Yosemite this coming weekend. But yeah, I'm still processing. You can email me if you're curious. Don't

Hey y'all, meet my new little project - Yellow House. It's a book! A pretty long book that I have thumb-nailed most of. It has an end, it tells a story, and it's loosely based on real people/real events. BUT there will also be some (to my mother's dismay) paranormal elements to it as well. Although there will be real-ish people in this little story (Bogey, Harrison, Amelia, Adam, Dani, etc. etc.)

So this past weekend I played around at Stumptown. Met a lot of fine cartoonists. Got to hang out with a posse of the nicest folks in the industry. Its a fine line I'm trying to skirt right now between being a fan, a peer, and now a friend.Anyway, I have a longer thing in the works. Here's a dandy little preview of the cover. I'm not sure yet if I'll realease it page by page - possibly it'll be

But first, video games! Sports! Short hair cuts and practical clothing!*edit*My friend Mike said this to me earlier:Mike: all parents should say that to their kids, whether they think they're gay or notyes. yes. yes.Although as I explained, telling a 14-year-old awkward/nerdy/puberty-ridden/non-girly daughter that you're down with her liking girls can be a shock to said daughter - especially if

Dang it I love my family! Despite what may be called dysfunction to some, I see it as endless comic material. Remarried to different people, my parental units are now on their own chapter of hilarity that I get to see brief glimpses of on holidays and trips home. If only I had a periscope to peer in on these evolving domestic scenes - I'd probably have a whole book worth of gold by now. I won't

I feel like every time I post it's 'I was outside all weekend with a bunch of delightful people, and this is what we did!' Most of the trail camps this weekend were closed in the Santa Cruz mountains due to budget cuts - but we realized this also meant there weren't any rangers around to yell at us for being in said closed trail camps. 2.5 days, 31 miles, 1lb of GORP, 1 ride in the flat bed of a

Have any art leads? Got any insiders at Industrial Light & Magic?? Well send 'em my way because I'm jobless! The crappy economy has finally pulled the rug out from under me - but the good news is that the hot talent of Amelia M. Altavena is ready for some new projects to sink my teeth into. It also means I'll have more time to draw comix in the next few weeks. But not for too long - in the hopes

This weekend we went to Pandora. It was pretty sweet. The Na'vi were hiding, but we found a cool waterfall. Who knew Pandora is actually a 40 min drive from San Francisco??Before the jungle adventure New Years happened. Hooray 2010!

It's been a weird week to say the least. I don't think "weird" is even appropriate. Kind of sad actually. I've already got a comic thumb-nailed for it. I guess the weird part is how disconnected I've become from home, to the point where when 2 people from my highschool class die I'm so far removed from Michigan I don't even know how to feel. A comic for this has been thumb-nailed and is in the

I know, it's not a comic. Things have been crazy since I got back from huntin'. Last night, even though I started a comic about hunting I felt compelled to do a full color illustration of myself and my friends ramping up for our Pre-Thanksgiving on Saturday. I think I wanna make it into t-shirts. Harhar. Anyway I feel stretched a little thin lately - but there are a lot of things in the Amelia

Starting this week I'll be a contributing illustrator for http://www.onenightmusic.com/Musicians play small sessions outside, all recorded and photographed in one night. It's a cool project and the musicians involved so far have been really excellent. Anyway, I'll post the illustrations here but be sure to check out the one night music website (: Alex & Janel:

I have pictures from APE, but for now here's Tigger again. Also for kickball we all dressed up like Mario! I was the blue spikey shell. I know that was kindof awhile ago. What I actually have been doing is less exciting which is being sick with strep and stapling comics until all of my fingers fall off. So, for now enjoy this.

A sloppy sketchy comic to start the week off. Something refined to come later, prolly Wednesday or Thursday.This weekend we were in Tahoe & Grass Valley and managed to swim in the lake, make 4 strawberry rhubarb pies, climb a rock wall, play assassins, play tug of war, make bean dip, hit a pinata, eat a ton of food, explore a barn, lie on a beach, hang out with friends, hang out with coworkers,

Hey friends. As you may have noticed August has been light in terms of new comics. This is because the time that I usually spend drawing when I get home from work I'm running around San Francisco desperately looking for a new apartment before Sept. 1st.Once I figure that out, I'll probably be able to post 2x a week. So this is only temporary. Also these d-bags (aka friends) seem to be occupying

The time warp was up on the coast. See - our friends were abalone diving. Apparently in 1996 the only way we primitive beings knew how to forage for food was to pry it off of rocks with metal bars. I say we in the collective sense as I did not get in the water. I later learned at hockey (hell yeah Amelia is playing hockey again!!!!!!!) that abalone diving is super dangerous and most people that

Recovering from a weekend of rock climbing, fishing, hiking, unlocked beach cruisers on Elk ave., bears walking through town in the middle of the night, blueberry pie, secret stash pizza, old friends, new friends, weird bar friends, goofy family, dogs dogs dogs, wet shoes, finishing some summer reading, mosquito bites, wildflowers everywhere, fire pits, all at 9000 feet. See you in the winter, CB.

Visiting Avatar Wibby in CO 'til Sunday!!!I'll also be in Cr(usty)ested Butt(e), laying in wildflowers and thinking of hilarious comix to draw when I get back. ALSO as it turns out I will NOT be doing Zinefest but I'll still be doing APE. Woowoo.

I've been meaning to mention this book for awhile now. I was in a book store in the Castro loudly laughing my ass off to this for however long it took to flip through. Anyways, naked Amelia had 2 left feet but she's been fixed - although it's probably true that I have 2 left feet...with my history of dancing like Elaine.

Campin this weekend was great! A bear trashed the dome that we were staying in though. He ate all of the berry flavored Emergen-C so I had to take action.

I just wanted to let y'all know that I've added a paypal donate button below the comix. Don't worry, there will be an update this week, but if you've been reading the updates and archives and such, and you feel like givin' a little somethin for my efforts to put something up at least once a week (besides the time I was in Peru, I've been drawing 1-3 comics a week since the sites launch!) any help

Go see it. It was one of the few good movies I've seen in awhile. Some of the others being 'Taken' with Liam Neeson and the amusingly retarded 'Hangover'.

So in case you were confused in the comic above - I went to school for 4 years in Rhode Island, so it's been awhile since I've been back to MI for any significant amount of time. At school, it seemed like we were all out of our element since most people that went to RISD are out-of-state anyway.I most definitely DO NOT ever want to move back. All I've heard from the home front is how bad

It's not all good, but it's ok. It's getting better. There are new friends! There is a sunburn from being in Santa Cruz! My cholesterol probably went up times a bajillion from chili cheese gut bomb fries! And somehow through the crap-o-la, there's a tiny remote bit of distance related closure.ALSO I drew this last weekend for a contest. Amelia, age 100:

If only cute animals came out.When I was 10 the only video game I was allowed to have was Game Gear. It was huge, but it was way better than a stupid gameboy because you could actually see the screen when you hid under your covers and played it at night. Also we had the extra giant battery pack so it weighed about 300 lbs. Sonic taught me many valuable things - make sure you always have one ring

UP was really good. Wonderful characters, totally goofy in a way different from Pixar's other movies. Yes it did actually make me cry, but I won't spoil how it managed to break my icy heart.Things are generally all right. San Francisco is sinking into its regular (Icky) summer weather - my sister is coming to visit - epic dinner plans are in the works for her visit.Too sleepy to type anything

Spent the whole weekend in LA hanging with a really superb group of people. It reaffirmed that I actually have the ability to find people around that make hanging out effortless and enjoyable. There will hopefully be new friends in my future that are as cool as many of my close friends that have scattered into all parts of the country and world. People of that caliber are out there. Things in the

My little sister (left) graduated from highschool this weekend. We were followed around by the paparazzi - and as much as we whined about having our pictures taken there were some truly epic Altavena/Wilson family shots. Dad is center, I'm on the left.'Ain't no Mountain High Enough' sung into salad tongs. Aunt, Mom, Me, Cousin.And somehow our paparazzi got a quiet moment with me and mom. Lily

I'm in a drawing funk. The comic above is totally sub-par and I feel awful about it. There are 2 things that are contributing to this. One is the way I work and my work space. I don't have a studio or a desk or a drafting table so I sit on the couch and work like a hunched over old lady with a gnarled claw for a hand. It's awful! I work out of my sketchbook so my lettering sucks because I have

Let's get seriously serious. Lets get a few things straight.I'm living in San Francisco, basically the most progressive, hippy-dippy activist city here in the States. To the 20-somethings out there: where is our revolution? Are we really just going to keep sitting here twittering and blogging and drawing silly little comics and crossing our fingers hoping for "change" and "hope"? Well let me tell

OK. I had a buncha fun the last few weeks, but I need to settle down. Like a clown. Charlie Brown. No more waking up with pirates. I'm gonna run a bunch, and play outside, and sit on my couch and read. Also I'm gonna continue to work my butt off at work. Scouts honor!!

Why does candy taste so good and make me feel so bad?Anyone have some good suggestions for classic country or bluegrass I should download?I've sorted through the typical stuff (Merle Haggard, Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, etc etc) so if you know something off the beaten path let me know.YeeHaw!
