new series! bc i am amused at the amount of bitchy and mean comments come out of the mouths of me and my friends, i decided i will be doing an ongoing set of digital pieces using these quotes. i haven’t done too much with my SPIFFY hand lettering lately, so i thought this was a good idea. i thought the name was even more clever. but i always think i’m more brilliant than others seem to. hahaha. enjoy! click to enlarge

so, who else has got a case of the i-just-graduated-from-college-and-can’t-find-a-job-and-never-will-because-the-economy-sucks-and-so-do-i blues? because i do.
while i try to get rid of them, i shall doodle my pants off. (oh and watch ridiculously funny videos on the internet like this one)

love, hugs, and snugglebugs-
AGP <3
did this one a little more quick than the first two- not as happy with this one. but hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
p.s. (off subject) got to see a screening of ZOMBIE LAND today. fuh-reak-ing AMAZING. haha. awesome awesome zombie movie. go see it! will probably do a zombie inspired drawing soon!
so i really wanted to draw something today. tried earlier… nothing. watched some glee, tried again, nothing. watched 300, tried again, nothing. facebooked a little… thought i’d go to sleep- then all of sudden its like I WANNA DRAW RIGHT NOW. haha. anywho, thought i’d post this before i really went to sleep. gotta get up for work at 630. enjoy!
p.s. been seriously thinking about doing renegade next year with my friend kiyomi. right now we’re working on collaborating. excited! stay tuned. 
hey guys!
in case you didn’t get a chance to pick up a copy of venus zine (some friends informed me it was a little tough to find) below you can see what i got published. i don’t have a scan (yet) of the page with my pic, but i will scan that tomorrow! if you were able to pick up a copy, thanks so much!
**there were also some illustrations i did that ended up not getting used- i’ll be posting those on my site within the next couple days. be sure to check in!
i finally came up with some ideas for a set of illustrations- incorporating text + image. i’m excited. i’m not sure how many pieces it will be, right now i have the sketches for 2… and i suppose it will be a set that can always be added to.
just thought i’d blog about that. i’ll probably have the first one done within a week. watch out for it! while you wait- here’s something from my sketchbook:
in an effort to conserve money & catch up on some rest… i am not where you would normally find me on a monday night (rehab mondays @ deb… yes i know, how very “hipster” of me. but hey- an hour of free drinks & $2 beers all night? plus great dancing music? pshhh… i’m kind of regretting not being there right now). however, because i am not out enjoying my youth- YOU GUYS get a blog entry and a few new works up on angelagpestano.com. so go check those out!
in other news, i’ve eaten a lot of broccoli this week.

our assisgnment was to take take text (a narrative, poem, song, etc…) and create a 18×24 poster incorporating text, illustration, type as image, and/or illustration as type.
i chose to use the lyrics to the song “Parentheses” by The Blow.
::update:: i also wanted to add that we had the choice to either use a typeface or do it by hand. i chose to do it by hand because i have issues with being fully happy with any font i choose for anything. i originally had pieces drawn out in pencil that i was going to ink and scan… but i ended up just doing everything straight into the comp using my wacom tablet.
