How would you define a Virgo??
Virgos are first and foremost logical people. They live in the mind which allows them to see things for what they really are (most of the time). They’re humble, loyal, down to earth…and yes, perfectionists! They can also be a bit stubborn, defensive, critical of others (and themselves) and prone to worry.
Misquotations & Sadness
It seems that my Typewriter Poem today is causing some confusion, and that confusion makes me sad and shows the nature of things that can occur on the Internet from time to time. My poem was originally an ALL Original text poem that I posted almost 2 years ago to the day. Here is the original post:
http://tylerknott.com/post/5808040499/knees
as well as the corresponding Tweet that went with it
https://twitter.com/TylerKnott/status/73118131224199168
Somehow, on GoodReads.com, someone misquoted this as belonging to a poet, Derrick Brown. Now, I am being emailed and accused constantly today of being an artist that “steals” other artists work. Never have I ever, never would I ever, and the thought that I would I find offensive. With the exception of Music, or the random amazing quotation or Charity post, I do not even Reblog on my site, in an attempt to keep it completely original content. I always have, I always will.
So, for those that stood up for me, thank you, for those that accused and attacked, I am sorry you were so quick to jump overboard on a ship that was never sinking to begin with.
How do I address this from here? Any ideas?
Children's Illustration Style: Trial & Error
So apparently tumblr is the worst & I can’t publicly answer questions on this blog, since technically my photo blog is my primary blog which can’t be changed? (Unless someone knows some trick. I am not usually ignorant about web things but tumblr is, well, the worst.)
So just so you know, this post is in response to a question from solemnlysweet about whether it took me a while to develop my children’s illustration style or if I’ve always stylized characters that way.
—
It definitely took some trial and error to get to my current children’s illustration style. I actually never decided that I wanted to do children’s illustration or start working in this style… I completely avoided drawing ANY characters for most of college, because in high school I’d drawn only anime, and then when I decided I wanted to be a graphic designer/illustrator I completely quit anime all at once, and was afraid to draw people or characters at all, because I didn’t want the anime influence to show through. Finally in one class an instructor specifically asked me to include characters, so I went for anthropomorphic ones because I still was not comfortable drawing people. It was a gouache assignment:
The characters were pretty sloppy, but I liked their overall proportions and thought it was fun to work with them and invent little activities for them to do. But it was a whole year later before I worked with any again and did this ink+digital piece for a different class:
Again, I enjoyed creating the scene, but didn’t feel that I’d developed a very solid style, and was more focused on my non-children’s work. A few months later I did this little sketch in class, honestly kind of just procrastinating from my real assignment:
(I distinctly remember feeling inspired by this Badger piece by my favorite illustrator, Carson Ellis, when I did that sketch)
I liked my little sketch enough that I based two illustrations for class off of it — this was the first time I tried out my developing style in watercolor, and was really happy with the results. I consider these to be my first illustrations in my current style:
I still wasn’t really thinking about pursuing children’s illustration at that point, but decided to take a children’s illustration class to play around some more. For some reason I didn’t go exactly in the direction of the squirrel & chipmunk pieces though, and muddled around in other things for a while with not-great results. I did an ABC book dummy for that class which is actually what my upcoming children’s book is based on, but the illustrations I did at the time are very awkward and derpy and stylistically a big regression for some reason — I think it was partly that I was rushed, partly that I used cold press paper for these which is NOT for me, and partly that I just didn’t quite know what I was doing yet.
Even though I’m not happy with those actual paintings anymore and feel that they’re inconsistent with my current work, I did really really adore the characters and story (at least as they were in my head), and started to be more interested in using these anthropomorphic animals. I also stumbled across the work of Stephanie Graegin via this adorable flash card game I spotted at a local shop, which was a big motivator to me because the reaction I have to her work is very similar to the reaction I’d like people to have to my children’s work.
I did a bit more work in my gradually-developing style for various class projects before I graduated, and then after graduation I think I finally had the time to step back and get a better perspective on all of my work. The watercolors I’ve done thereafter have been much more focused and consistent, and I’d very much like to continue with this style in the future.
I started working with my children’s rep Nicole Tugeau last summer and have become much more serious about working in the children’s industry, working on projects with children’s publishers and textile companies, licensing illustrations for greeting cards and giftwrap and so forth, creating work for games, and doing the occasional personal commission. (A lot of this stuff has yet to be released, but I’ll share it with you guys as soon as it is.) A few months ago, Tundra Books approached me about turning my derpy ABC book dummy from class into a full picture book, giving me the opportunity to do justice to the characters that I really love, and I couldn’t be happier about it (below is a sketch, the finals will be watercolor).
Anyway, that’s my journey so far! I hope it’s somewhat encouraging to anyone still finding their style to know that it definitely took me a couple years to figure stuff out. Also I should note that those of you who follow me for my non-children’s work have nothing to worry about, that style is still very much a part of my life and career, and I plan to allow both bodies of work to continue coexisting separately and happily.

Someone asked us:
Does the approval for sale of Plan B to girls 15 and older include approval for the sale of the generic for Plan B? Sometimes Plan B can be costly, and the generic is much more affordable. I realize it’s the same drug so it should also be approved, but I wanted to check since it wasn’t mentioned at all in the article.
That’s a good question, and one a lot of people have been wondering about.
In case you missed it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently decided that Plan B One-Step, one brand of emergency contraception, could be sold over the counter to anyone 15 or older. That means in the near future, you will be able to find Plan B in the “family planning aisle” of drug stores, and purchase it with proof of age. This is a change from where it’s been – behind the counter at the pharmacy.
This new policy only applies to the Plan B One-Step brand. The reason behind that is basically because the manufacturer of Plan B applied for a change with the FDA, and the FDA accepted this company’s application. Right now, we don’t know exactly when Plan B will be available over the counter. It will probably take a few months for the company that makes Plan B to make new packaging and get it out on shelves. You can ask your local drugstore and check back with us for updates.
Your local Planned Parenthood health center may carry brands other than Plan B, and/or may be able to charge less for emergency contraception. Your local drugstore may also carry alternative brands, like Next Choice. If you know you’ll want this brand of EC, and you’re under 17 (the current age requirement for purchasing any EC over the counter), it might be a good idea to get a prescription or the pill itself ahead of time, before you need it. That way you have it when you need it, or can get it quickly in case of an emergency.
You can read more about emergency contraception and how to get it on our website.

If everyone from Inuyasha lived in Kagome's era, what do you think they'd be doing? ie, occupation or living situations etc...
Okay, this is if none of them knew each other. So, InuKag wouldn’t be together, etc. I’m just judging on their personalities and matching it with contemporary style.
- Inuyasha: owns a ramen noodle shop with a few locations around tokyo. loves experimenting with flavors and noodle types. wants to be a therapist… but, doesn’t think he could deal with people’s sadness for long periods of time.
- Kagome: relationship expert for a newspaper and magazine company. loves to match couples together and get the details on everything. also works as a broadcast journalist for breaking news around tokyo.
- Miroku: part-time job hopper who takes pride in being a pervert. loves his life; a free spirit. could be a doctor, lawyer, etc but chooses not to because he just wouldn’t be happy.
- Sango: executive business woman for a large company; makes above average salary and loves her children more than anything. everyone knows she isn’t the woman to mess with because she is smarter and more driven than all the men she works with.
- Shippo: elementary school boy with enjoys eating desserts and has very close best friends that will stay with him until college and beyond.
- Kikyo: school teacher with a husband and many kids. her school kids adore her; and is head sponsor of the archery club.
- Sesshomaru: famous popstar who likes to live by himself; makes a ton of money. introvert but extremely loves what he does.
- Naraku: creepy stalker. also a hikikomori.
- Rin: elementary school girl who is head of many school clubs and is very popular. everyone loves her and the aura she exudes.
- Koga: dirty mechanic who really wants a wife; but a lot of women turn him down. would be very faithful… but, work is always consuming him.
- Sota: FAMOUS SOCCER PLAYER.
- Kagura: airline stewardess. loves the air and the feel an airliner gives her. makes her feel incredibly… free.
- Kohaku: top student in his grade; enjoys the outdoors: hiking, fishing, and just being in the sun. wants to become successful at whatever he chooses to do in life… although, he is still unsure. Will probably end up becoming a mangaka.
