Scratch from ScritchandScratch.com - a sketch blog - has created this amazing vintage-inspired illustration based on b.vikki vintage posts (my other blog). I love comics and I love vintage, so this is right up my alley. Any converging of the two is a welcome treat. The hair and the dress are pitch perfect. And her face... She's fiiiieeerrce!

Jasika Nicole

I love the show Fringe and the talented (and adorable) actress who plays Astrid (aka Asteroid, Asterisk, etc), Jasika Nicole.




Not only is Jasika Nicole a gifted actress - she's also an exceptionally skilled artist. Even if I weren't already a fan of hers, I'd love her illustrations.



Here's a great interview with Jasika over at YMIB. The interviewer terms Jasika's drawings 'urban fairies' - and that fits 100%. Her characters are so dainty, fresh, and FLY - just like the artist herself.


EDIT - another great interview at PinkRayGun - she talks about her hair and her comic. & another she did with ClutchMag.

Jasika is also working on a comic book called 'High Yella Magic' - the creative process of which is being documented at her blog - sugarbooty.blogspot.com.






Did I mention that we're hair-twins???? What's not to love about Jasika Nicole?






She also dances and appeared as Egypt in the movie Take the Lead - which I enjoyed... she stuck out in that movie as my favorite character (THE SNEAKERS!!!! THE HAIR!!! THE DRESSS!!!). Now it all makes sense.
