Some photos from APE 2011

In case you weren't able to stop by, here's our table and what we looked like standing by it.

And here's me prior to the show, working late into the night at my new medical X-ray light box, which I now love a lot. Look how hard I work for you. Just LOOK

Currently taking commissions!

THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS UPON US.

Therefore I am now taking food illustration commissions, just for this reason. What are you giving for Xmas/Solstice/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa this year?

I can do: Pencil, black and white, full color, etc. I typically draw and ink by hand on Bristol board, add digital color, and print on quality card stock, although I can be talked into selling the original line art too.

Commissions are priced according to what you want illustrated (simple? complicated? 1 item, multiple items?, etc.) + what format you want + shipping. I'm currently just doing food only, please. Basic or limited environments, if any, and no people or animals at this time.

Email me at tracihui@gmail.com and share your deepest, darkest food illustration fantasies with me. Muahahaha
... if I think it's really gross, I just won't sign it.

Happy Brainstorming!

Tiramisu Diagram featured in TDAC!

Just got the news that They Draw And Cook is featuring my tiramisu diagram this week, along with 5 other tiramisu-phile artists. Awesome!

APE 2011 in The Daily Californian - A write-up on ME!

Can I tell you something excitingOKTHANKYOU

I got a write-up in The Daily Californian, in an article on APE 2011. I'm happily squished in between my favorites Kate Beaton and Shannon Wheeler, and the talented Matt Sundstrom! Thank you Sarah Burke, for the wonderful description. I'm positively chuffed. CHUFFED I tell you!

Here is the article in full:

There is also audio commentary accompanying said article. Listening to these convention newcomers fall in love with comics because of their experience at APE just fills my heart with joy. That feels way less cliché than it reads.

OMG SRSLY w00t

SOLD OUT at City Lights! Plus other illos: Best Friends Magazine + They Draw And Cook!

Did a couple color illustrations for Best Friends Magazine, which will be out March 1st! Available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-A-Million, and other such places. My art director Eric Evans was rad enough to snap these photos for me:




If that weren't awesome enough, I found out that They Draw And Cook posted my tiramisu recipe illustration. It's in color, baybay!:

Last, but not least, my quasi-cousin (quasin) Allen Hui told me I've essentially sold out of Food Yes Cook No at City Lights Bookstore! I've got to send over more copies, and I'm soooo excited about it.

Thus, I'm letting that encourage me to the point of following my friends' further advice to peddle my zine to other local bookstores. First on the list is my other favorite SF (book-related) institution, Green Apple! Wish me luck ...
