I just finished making a zine (small, DIY magazine) about the significant characters who live in Shelby's shell (Shellrim). Spanning 16 pages with a cardstock cover, the zine includes over 30 characters, with brief descriptions about each one! Each zine also has an original drawing inside. They will soon be available for purchase on my new Shelby and the Blooms etsy shop!

Shelby and DJ Rolly Field Studies

Here are some pages from my official "Shelby Fieldbook", where characters and stories are recorded. These are facial expression studies for Shelby and DJ Rolly.

About Shelby and the Blooms

Shelby is a naive little snail with a big heart and even bigger taste for adventure. She is the lead singer of the Blooms. Shelby has a tendency to go wild on stage, especially when she likes the energy of the crowd. Her band is made up of her closest friends:
-Brandon is a shy, laid-back butterfly who likes to skateboard and just hang out. He plays guitar in the band, and is a total hippie.
-Mindy is an orchid mantis who is as smart as she is pretty. She is also very gullible and plays bass in the band. Shelby is secretly a little jealous of Mindy.
-Marty is the fun-loving drummer of the band. He is a mole, and he's not very smart, but he makes up for it with his strong physique and good-natured attitude.
-DJ Rolly is a rolly polly (pillbug) who is very shy. He is a master on the turn tables and keyboard. He acts a bit grumpy and distant, but he secretly loves being a part of the Blooms.

-Chubicorn is a mysterious creature that follows the band (particularly Shelby) around. He is believed to be half unicorn and half water balloon, but no one is sure. It is unknown where he came from, but what is known is that he has a tendency to poop gold nuggets and vomit rainbows.
