Here’s what this series is about, if you’re curious!
Today: Frau Totenkinder aka Frau Baby Eater aka The Black Forest Witch
So back in April I went to the Drink & Draw Like A Lady Event in New York kicking off MoCCA Fest, and met a bunch of wonderful ladies. I didn’t have business cards at the time, nor anything significant to pass out, since I’d only decided I was going a couple days before the event. So like any crazy person with a shitty printer might do, I decided to make some original cards. I picked a female comic character for each letter of the alphabet and then just went crazy.
It worked well enough for my purposes and I gave away a lot of cards (though I definitely need to get business cards for the future) but since there’s so little drawing on this blog lately (and I miss it) I thought I’d share some of the better ones I did for the event here.
Keep in mind that these were all very quickly done, I’d say less than 10 minutes spent on each card…we’ll start at the beginning…or as close to it as I can (my Atom Eve turned out horribly).
Today: Black Canary aka Dinah Lance
Wow. Thanks to following James Jean on twitter (@processrecess) I saw this pretty amazing Fables commercial that’s apparently been running on BBC America. James Jean’s visuals are somehow even more badass in this format, which is…unexpected.

You can also watch it here on the Vertigo website.
And if you don’t know about James Jean…WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Learn more now. Even though he’s largely moved away from more commercial work toward fine art, and sadly no longer does the Fables covers, he’s still one of the most amazing artists working today.
And if you don’t know about Fables…WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Learn more now. And here’s a cool list I did for She Has No Head! about Ten Women Of Fables.
I know I already tweeted about this…but many of you don’t follow me on twitter yet (what’s up with that by the way?!) and quite frankly I’m still (a week later) thinking about how much I love it. Faith Erin Hicks Wolverine Short Story. It’s made of awesome.

The only thing I like more than “grouchy bathrobe wearing babysitting mutants Wolverine” is “happy to be running in a field with deer Wolverine”. The whole adorable story is here. Definitely check it out.
And if you’re not already following me on twitter…get on it!…@79SemiFinalist.
