My artwork got accepted to the ARTX 2017 Holiday Salon! I’m excited! 😄 Opening night for the gallery is on Saturday, November 11th from 8-10pm. Hope to see you guys there!
(WARNING: Don’t try any of this on Earth—except the last one.)
Janssen aka 55 Cancri e
Hang your steak on a fishing pole and dangle your meat over the boiling pools of lava on this possible magma world. Try two to three minutes on each side to get an ashy feast of deliciousness.
Dimidium aka 51 Pegasi b
Set your grill to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit (982 degrees Celsius) or hop onto the first exoplanet discovered and get a perfect char on your hot dogs. By the time your dogs are done, it’ll be New Year’s Eve, because a year on this planet is only four days long.

Super air fry your duck on this Super Earth, as you skydive in the intense gravity of a planet twice as massive as Earth. Why are you air frying a duck? We don’t know. Why are you skydiving on an exoplanet? We’re not judging.
HAT-P-11b
I’ve got steaks, they’re multiplying/and I’m looooosing control. Cause the power this planet is supplying/is electrifying!
Sear your tuna to perfection in the lightning strikes that could flash across the stormy skies of this Neptune-like planet named HAT-P-11b.
Kepler-186f
Tired of all that meat? Try a multi-colored salad with the vibrant plants that could grow under the red sun of this Earth-sized planet. But it could also be a lifeless rock, so BYOB (bring your own barbecue).
Kepler-70b
Don’t take too long to prep your vegetables for the grill! The hottest planet on record will flash-incinerate your veggies in seconds!
WASP-12b
Picture this: You are pressure cooking your chicken on a hot gas giant in the shape of an egg. And you’re under pressure to cook fast, because this gas giant is being pulled apart by its nearby star.
Kepler-16b
Evenly cook your ribs in a dual convection oven under the dual stars of this “Tatooine.” Kick back and watch your two shadows grow in the fading light of a double sunset.
Venus
Order in for a staycation in our own solar system. The smell of rotten eggs rising from the clouds of sulfuric acid and choking carbon dioxide will put you off cooking, so get that meal to go.
Earth
Sometimes the best vacations are the ones you take at home. Flip your burgers on the only planet where you can breathe the atmosphere.
Grill us on Twitter and tell us how bad our jokes are.

I spent waaaaay too much time on the background on this one. Who knew that drawing bookcases in perspective was going to be so much work? 😣 Hopefully it'll pay off when I ink it.
Love these! 😊🧪❤️💜💚💙
The hosts in their vials, you can get them as keychains after you back the kickstarter for a physical book here<3
Here’s my #TopNine on Instagram this year! A few of my favorites are here, including my mandala drawing in the middle and the preview of my comic in the upper left (the most liked!). Thank you my friends and the community for your support! I hope to make more great art next year. 😊 🔹 #art #instaart #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #originalartwork #creative #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pen #pencil #inking #digitalart #character #characterdesign #comic #comicart #traditionalart #illustration #digitalpainting #TopNine2018 #BestNine2018 #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artist #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/BsCaF3Uhhvj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j8ntc8uo2kit
Here's a WIP of what I've been working on this past week for my Illustration class. 🔷 This assignment is another collage, using very detailed life drawings from a specific book. I've taken images that I liked, collaged them together, photocopied them, then used a special marker to transfer the images on to Bristol paper. (Looks like magic, no? 😆) 🔷 I haven't drawn anything yet, but I plan to later. I haven't been feeling that great, so I think I'll go get some more rest. Hope you enjoy!
Finally made my first post on this new-ish app. Give me a follow if you like. I’m also looking for artists to follow so recommendations would be great. 👍🏼 🔹 #vero #veroapp #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #marketing #social #branding #digitalmarketing #marketingdigital #instaartist #socialmarketing #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #CrystaltheCC https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-3RSChMRs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19cstgqm5tlc4
Theme 4 on Friendship is complete! 😊 I like how this piece has a subliminal yin-yang quality to it; it was unintentional, but it works. 🔹⠀ Feel free to interpret this piece however you like. I have no idea what these two friends were laughing about, but I’d love to hear your take on it. Also, I did color the sky a light blue, but I think it got washed out in this photo… That’s something I’ll keep in mind for next time. I hope you enjoy! There’s more coming~
As 2019 peeks around the corner, here is my Christmas gift to all illustration freelancers, webcomic artists and comic artists. An invoice and accounting management tool in Google Sheets. Open the link then click File > Make a Copy to save your own copy to work with.

So, I use this myself because I find programs like Quickbooks don’t really work as well for Freelancers/International artists (in part because Paypal refuses to work with it properly). This is very easy to use, the key is just to enter things in it regularly. The key to managing your money properly is to know where it is, and inputting things daily means short bursts of work where you can clearly see where your money goes instead of pure panic at the end of the year.
In this Sheet you have a monthly breakdown for all your expenses and income sources. Each month has a “month” grid where you can enter and view your expenses per week, and a “details” grid. In the “details” grid you basically enter everything with Descriptions and Categories, which allow you isolate deductible amounts. What can be deductible varies on your type of freelance work and location, but I, as a comic artists working from home in Canada, can deduct part of my rent, electricity, and all comic purchases.
The Categories have an integrated pre-build drop down that you can just copy over when you add a new line. Every day you receive an income or spend money, you should enter stuff IMMEDIATELY. Small daily work = less work at the end of the month.
At the end of each week, compile your totals from the “Details” tab in the monthly grid. Then, at the end of the month, compile those in your Annual tabs. Then, at the end of the year, you can literally just hand this to an accountant along side your other paperwork, it’s ready!
Right after the Annual Income & Expenses tabs I included a little invoice management tab so you can keep tabs on commissions and clients!
! hope you all find this useful, be sure to check with an accountant tied to your location for what qualifies as proper deductibles!
This item is free to use - but if you want to grace me with a donation for it, my Paypal is secondline@gmail.com (also that would be filed under the “gift” category).
