Cupcake Everdeen

I actually drew this envelope because I appreciate archery. I used to practice archery in my youth at my summer camp and I loved it. There was something very empowering about firing a pointy object at a target. Given, I really sucked at it, but it was fun nonetheless.

I decided to post this because Hunger Games is coming out in theaters next week! I love the book, which is what inspired the cupcake, although initially, it was supposed to be Gale and not Katniss, hence the masculine cupcake. Oh well, this can be Katniss pre-Cinna makeover.

Cupcake Kong!

You know those airplanes don't really care if Miss Ann Darrow falls to her death. They just want some of that sweet sweet buttercream. Also, if Ann Darrow dies, it just means more cupcake on the ground for everyone to enjoy!

Also, that is a Bailey's Irish cream cupcake in the corner - it's what I imagine Cupcake Kong would have tasted like.

The Bettie Horror Cupcake Show

I love Rocky Horror Picture show. I was at a loss of what to draw one day, so I asked another one of the Bettie's, a sweet girl named Kira, what to draw. She mentioned RHPS...and I was sold! Oh, and that would be a red velvet cupcake in the corner. I imagine that would be too devilish for Janet.

The lips

All freehand.

I draw all my fonts freehand, using just a picture or idea as a basis. This is also the first picture I drew with my new pencils! The envelopes are about to get a million times better than anything you have ever seen!

Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me, creature of the night!

Under the sea, Under the sea!

Funny story about this envelope - it cursed the markers! No, seriously, all the markers dried up at one point or another while drawing this envelope, as you can tell by the color gradient in the ocean.

My best friends and I have a slight obsession with Disney movies. And by slight, I mean we sing along with every movie, knowing all the lyrics.My personal favorite is Hercules (envelope coming soon) because Meg is such a proud woman!

But my second favorite is probably Little Mermaid because Ariel knows what she wants and she goes for it. I like that take-charge attitude. Plus, Ursula is such a terrifying antagonist! She is a giant octo-human-pus that turns merpeople into seaworms. King Triton is a bit, stuffy, though. I wish he were a little bit more relaxed - maybe take a sedative or something to calm down once in a while. His anger issues and need to control his daughters every move really leave a sour taste in my mouth.

And so the Little Cupcake has a tamer looking Ursula, a calmer Triton and Ariel looking a lot healthier than that absurdly skinny figure that Disney gives all their princesses.

And so the lion fell in love with the cupcake....

I admit, I read Twilight. I liked it. I watched the movies. I liked it. I'm not a Twi-hard by any means, but I love the books. Then again, I love all the books.

Last year, I was hanging out with two of my best friends, Dana and Gina. Dana and I had the genius idea to try to reenact the meadow scene from Twilight (you know, the scene were they both irresponsibly skip school and then Bella lays out in the sun with a vampire in a remote and distant location?) Well, Dana loved the picture so much that she put it up on her wall. 

I figured, if two crazy ladies can do the meadow scene, so can cupcakes.

I even tried to make the Edward cupcake sparkle a bit, but instead, it looks like he has really bad acne. 

My favorite part about this envelope? The text - that is such a hard text to reproduce, freehand, but I loved it!

The Cupcake Swan

So, my all-time favorite movie that came out recently is Black Swan. Natalie Portman deserved the Oscar - her portrayal of someone suffering from schizophrenia, which seems to be comorbid with dissociative identity disorder at the end, with her white swan/black swan personalities, (again, I LOVE psych) was spot-on, albeit a bit dramatic.

So I opted to draw the Black Swan in cupcake form.

I am really pleased with the way it came out!
