Hullo Hound Dogs and Poodle Skirts!
Love you lots like jelly tots!

So um, I haven't been haunting these hallowed halls in quite some time, I hope this journal will shed a little light as to why!
First let's rewind real quick to the summer of '69 2013. I went through an extremely exciting and enriching informal internship with colourist Jordie Bellaire and artist Declan Shalvey, with the goal of becoming a comic book colourist. It went really well! The intern aspect has ended but we're still close friends :)
At the end of that summer I began doing my first professional work, for a company called BOOM! Studios (actually you guys would probably dig my first work there. It's about Imaginary Friends and it's hella cute. It's called IMAGINE Agents and you can buy the entire mini-series in one book now)
I worked with BOOM until early 2014, as well as some other cool indie peeps.
By Christmas of 2013 I started working for a little company you may have heard of; Marvel.
I've now been steadily working for Marvel as a colourist for the past year and a half, as well as trying to slog my way through college, trying to get my degree in animation (though I have no intention of working in animation after college haha) I've worked on a lot of fun titles including Avengers Assemble, New Warriors, Storm and Deadpool, among others! It has been a very exciting time and I have learnt so much, and I'm still learning!
You can see some of my work over on tumblr: ruthredmond.tumblr.com
While I adore my job and enjoy college, working so much professionally and academically did put a damper on my personal work for quite some time, nothing ever got past the sketching stage!
But in the past few months that has changed! I've been making more of an effort to make time for personal work, finishing illustrations from start to finish. And it has paid off in the form of an art booklet!
Yeah son! I just recently finished putting together a 22 page, full colour art booklet called Sugar and Spice! You can also learn about that on my tumblr! 8D I may start selling it online but first I'm taking it to Confuzzled.
That's another exciting thing! My friend Bloo has convinced me to go to Confuzzled this year and I will be there peddling my wares! :)
Now I'm gonna go start posting a few bits from Sugar and Spice here on FA to try and inch my way back in haha~
Love you lots like jelly tots!
