comic is about my husband trying to tell me i'm pretty too... he's pretty bad at it !
comic about how we're too used to throwing food scraps to our dog...
bottom right about how people always say the same shit about your baby ("oh he's sooo tiny"/ " oh he's not too skinny ")

..that i already sent off to the NYC gallery, which is why i only have these crappy photos of them (both are taken from photos from 1976 & 1981)

Better quality pictures (all of this was in the show):

2010-12-27T03:56:00.000-08:00

Thank you ALL for the most encouraging words....

... i ever got in my whole life. Wow, i feel all warm inside.
I suck ass for not putting drawings up since october, i was in NYC doing an art show (DCKT gallery) and my fancy book coming out. It was crazy ! here are some tabloid-inspired watercolors that are in the show:
I LOVE YOU anyone who likes me.

this is on a wall where my friends live

Some more cause they wouldnt fit in one message...

2010-10-03T09:05:00.001-07:00

Here are as many recent sketch-book pages as i could put, to catch up with my tardiness...

2010-10-03T08:49:00.000-07:00

not a drawing i am finishing the ones im about to scan very soon i know millions of you are holding your breath

2010-07-31T15:11:00.000-07:00

but jesus i had to share this, this is where the name comes from ! In germany early 20th century they invented a pharmaceutical they thought would be less addictive than morphine. tttsshh! They called it Heroin cause of it's "heroic effects on the patient", haw haw. Plus its a "cough suppressant" not even pain killer. I mean, its true, you do cough less when you're heroically comatosin' between your couch pillows.

game : find sophie's graffiti on wall that doesnt exist anymore

The cover of my book edited by Norton :

2010-07-25T16:31:00.001-07:00

(no more publicity after this)

More auto promotion...

2010-07-22T07:49:00.000-07:00

...and i would like to say what my book "Evolution of a crazy artist" is, cause with all my self promotin, i forgot to say what the book has in it :
It has about 300 drawings from age 2,5 to now (28), all done in sketchbooks or whatever, loose paper. My parents archived the best of them in obsessive files, and we'd been thinking for a while that it would make an interesting book to compile a bunch of them. None of them were done for printing purposes, its all personal, spontaneous weird shit. The point of the book is not "hey im sophie, look at sophie's drawings, here's a drawing of sophie by sophie, this is my life, etc etc" although it does have that personal aspect. We thought it could be meaningful to see this spiralling evolution, to see how the drawings evolve depending on where i was at the time, doing what... it's intended to be kind of psychologically interesting in that way, i hope it is. It is not intended to be a life diary or something. Anyways, they explain it here in an embarrassing company promotion description :

LOOK HERE ITS MY BOOK :

Ok, i will put drawings now and try not to use you as target audience cattle.

SOPHIE'S BIG FANCY ASS BOOK...

2010-07-10T06:39:00.000-07:00

... IS COMIN OUT IN NOVEMBER !!!!!!
R Crumb's "Genesis" publisher NORTON is putting it out (well duh, you think they would've published un-famous me otherwise??) and -- check it out -- it will be in places like BARNES & NOBLE, yeeeah, you heard me, not just obscure comic-book shops, huge ass fuckn fancy mainstream book stores !!
Yes, i am a proud whorin' sell-out. But i am grateful to NORTON, a few people there believe in my stuff, plus our anal, obsessive compulsiveness about printing our artwork (i say we because my mom and dad and i all edited it) is very trying and they worked hard on my book...
Thanks NORTON !!

OK, it is called "SOPHIE CRUMB : EVOLUTION OF A CRAZY ARTIST" and i will be in NYC early november to do a signing - if all goes well - at Barnes&Noble on Union Square, my old neighborhood!
You should all come if its not too far, i am also doing a show in a hip LES gallery early november, will talk about it soon.

TELL A FRIEND !
(My editor said im not famous so you guys have to help create my "buzz", god what an obnoxious word... But there you have it.)

HI, sorry for neglecting the BLARG. I have some advertising to do by the way so STAY TUNED

2010-05-17T02:06:00.000-07:00

...even though this isnt a life diary blog, just wanted to post this surreal fuckn image of me as a bride (the people who know me will understand how weird that is). Kay!

2010-05-16T04:49:00.000-07:00

Here are some postcard-sized ball-point pen drawings i did for a local gallery show around here, but that will also perhaps be in a NYC hipster gallery show of mine in the lower east side in november. I LOVE YOU AAL OF YOU who come to my blog.

2010-01-06T04:35:00.000-08:00

i am so computer-missing that i am alone in my little blog world cause i dont know how to make people look at it. Oh, i guess i could just email you a link, but isnt there an easier way?

Anyways, i feel dumb right now. I'm blogging to myself ! Is this going crazy kind of ? mwahha ha

ok no, im gunna put up some drawlins... thats the point of this thing, NOT ranting, right?

2010-01-01T17:51:00.000-08:00

2010-01-01T17:48:00.000-08:00

Im gunna try to figure this shit out...

2010-01-01T17:40:00.000-08:00

I will try to soon have this all figured out and be regularly posting art and photos (i will try to fight against theonline diary urge but eh.. but yeah, ideally it would be even better than a web-site because way more active, interactive and updated alot. And people can be constantly in touch with me unlike on a web-site when you're like "oh cool how can i contact this asshole" and then you notice that the last time someone touched the thing was may 2006. So yeah, active web-blog-site whatever the stupid fuck you wanna call it. Lets just call it Soph's online page. I dont care. I will, anyways, be regularly adding sketchbook drawings, more fancy drawings, comics, tattoos, sellable artwork, upcoming news about my art n shit, photos, and comicand random fascinating shit about ME !!! yay !

This is NOT A BLOG

2010-01-01T17:36:00.000-08:00

...in the sense of me "posting" rants everyday about how i'm feeling and the weather. This is a blog being used as a second rate web-site, to promote my artwork and tattoos and all thus related.
