Yo! I'm Kelly Bee! I'm an illustrator from the great land of New Jersey, so naturally I have a love affair with hoagies and bagels. I like art, fancy rats (well, most animals, really) and just hangin' out! Don't be afraid to say hello!
BGs 10, 6, and 7
These are some of the backgrounds to one of my favorite sequences in The Dollar Menu. That icecream sign is actually for a Carvel in the shopping center, but it hasn’t worked in years. It’s been forgotten, essentially, but if it were to ever leave it’s awkward positioning, I’d be thoroughly upset.
By the way, that’s not a pot-hole. That’s a crater from Noodle’s head.
More beautiful backgrounds by Joe!!
Sketches from tonight. Sorry for the bad quality!
(Also, I have not forgotten about the requests I have to do! Joe and I have been so busy apartment hunting lately. I’m trying to find my footing again.)
Drawing just to draw. Feels good!
A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.
In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.
I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.
I still need to get the shirt.

The Dollar Menu backgrounds
Here are the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th backgrounds (4th was eventually cut from the final film). Each of these are a more exploratory shot of this one.
I actually used to work at “Butts” Pharmacy, so the Pizza place next door became a bit of a hang-out spot for a while. Not really sure why we spent so much time in a parking lot, but really, doesn’t everybody at some point in their lives?More to come!
Amazing work!!
cardiacsatnevermind asked: i wish you'd draw me a picture:(
I didn’t know that you wanted anything! I’m open for commissions right now, if you’re interested!
@1 week ago with 1 notethis is actually disgusting.
Saw “THIS”?! They immediately dehumanized this woman and then further dehumanized her by stating they would rape her. Every one of these males. Rape was the first thing that came to mind. This is beyond disgusting.
Go on. Tell me rape culture isn’t real. Tell me how “Everyone knows rape is wrong.”
Go on. Tell me again about how that male sexual entitlement over women’s bodies isn’t so much of an issue I’m sexist if I dare generalize men.
Tell me.
I fucking dare you.

A few cleaned up sketches from last night. The top two are just random people and the bottom one is Stan from South Park cause he’s my favorite.
ALSO HI CINTIQS, I MISSED YOU
Probably just for a day or two >< I’ll let you know as soon as my flight is booked!! :D
Look how silly my girls are! Hahaha!
I haven’t been posting a lot of art lately, and I feel bad because 1) this is my art blog and 2) I feel that (hopefully) most of you guys follow me for my art.
I can explain, though!! First off, I graduated very recently. April 19th was graduation, and my parents were out here for a week after. Secondly, I’m currently at the near-end of my TEFL course, and I’ve been devoting any extra time to finishing that (you only get a certain amount of time to complete it.) And lastly, I’m moving in a few weeks, so that just makes things annoying and complicated, but I am very excited!
So anyway, I know you’ve all seen this work before, but I needed to get some more art back on my blog and let people know where the hell I went.
Hope everyone is doing well!!
