nope.

Apparently my nickname, Cararara, means ‘silly face’ or something? ‘Stupid Face’? In Portuguese? Whatever, I stand by it.

I promised I’d eventually upload all of this comic, and what better day than Free Comic Book Day? :D If you get this from me at cons and stuff, you’ll still get a sample of the tea featured in the comic, or, you know. You can just buy a whole bag of it on Adagio (it’s got Earl Grey Moonlight, Chestnut, Vanilla, and Cinnamon and is pretty darn delicious.)

BLEND: A Comic About Tea By Cara McGee

This is the first multi-page comic I’ve done in about a year, and it was so much fun to do, despite not sleeping for about a week to get it all done. Here’s a nice preview of the first six pages! I may post the full comic online one of these days, but until then, you can buy a full copy of the comic from me at any of the cons I’ll be at this summer, including 221b Con this weekend, and C2E2 at the end of the month! Each copy of the comic also comes with a sample pack of the tea that the comic is based on*!

*tea may or may not give you bad ass, dragon fighting dreams.

So like 5 or 6 years ago, when I was first starting at SCAD, I was into doing Guro/Horror art a lot, so I did this awesome art book with amazing artists like Christy Lijewski and Becky Cloonan. It’s probably pretty impossible to find a copy of it anywhere now, and I don’t know if I have the original paintings/files of my pieces anymore, but I don’t think I ever shared most of them online so…. check out this crazy art I did once upon a time.

Man, I’d love to do another really nice collab art book like this one of these days.

Dwarves (and a wizard!) have seized my home and larder. No manners of which to speak.

Help. Help.

So hey I finally got my little Hobbit Project off of the ground! I’m going to try to do an illustration each week, in the style of a travel log, illustrating Bilbo’s adventures :D Fun!

So I do this thing where I get my mom’s best recipes from her and turn them into little comic things, and for a while now my dad has been bitterly jealous of them. So for Christmas this year, I’m surprising him with one of his own. His homemade mac n cheese is deceptively simple, but seriously one of my favorite things in the world.

I feel like I’ve posted so many WIP shots of this thing you guys must be sick of it by now. But I loved every second of working on it, so I just couldn’t resist taking lots of pics along the way U///3///U

This original painting is going to be auctioned off next week at The Bakerstreet Babe’s Daintiest Thing Under a Bonnet Charity Ball, the proceeds of which go towards the Wounded Warrior project, which is AWESOME. So, if you scored tickets to the event, consider putting in a bid for some sweet original art!

And once again, I want to just say how awesome it is to get to paint Reapersun’s lineart. Her work is always just stunning, and really lends it so well to this type of coloring. It’s a joy to get to work with such a talented artist, so thank you SO MUCH Reapersun for collabing with little ol’ me again!

Thank you Cara!!!! It turned out GORGEOUS <3<3 (MY FAVORITE IS THE HAT PATTERN THAT LOOKS REALLY COOLLLL)

If anyone’s curious (I hope you don’t mind when I do this Cara) here’s a peek at the lineart I contributed~

Thanks again!!!

Pfffft, of course I don’t mind (I almost added it myself XD)!

areyoutryingtodeduceme:

Oh man I told you more Hobbit teas were coming. I’ll probably try to do all of the Dwarves eventually. We will see. Anyway, don’t forget about Bilbo, Smaug and Thorin & Co!

Thorin [assam melody, pu erh dante, gingerbread, cocoa nibs] A slightly bitter blend with just an edge of smokey forge fires and sharp spices. Dark and alluring, this is a blend that turns surprisingly sweet and mellow when treated right.

Kili [ceylon sonata, oriental spice, vanilla, ginger] A smooth, bright blend, just this side of mature, but with an unmistakable sweetness.

Fili [spiced apple chai, hazelnut, irish breakfast, marigold, cinnamon] Deep, warm, golden notes and a rich, dark base. Decidedly decadent, but reliably strong.

Bofur [mocha nut mate, vanilla green, sweet potato, chocolate chips, orange peel] Super sweet, super comforting, and maybe just a little bit nutty.

Gandalf [almond oolong, pu erh dante, white monkey, marigold] A dry, earthy blend, strong enough to help give you a boost when needed, mellow enough to sooth you.

Thranduil [apricot green, vanilla green, hojicha] A surprisingly strong (maybe even stubbornly so) green blend, this tea might edge on fussy, so brew with care.
