Rachel says: This is Aimi (left, BC Roll) and Camellia (right, Green Tea). Aimi and her cat, Wasabi, currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Aimi attends Emily Carr. Camellia, who goes to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, is up for a visit. They spend their time together collaborating on ideas for movie scripts and graphic novels, in the hopes that one day they will be rich and famous.  Aimi loves to go for long walks through Stanley Park, and to Instagram pictures of her food.  If anything is particularly delicious, she will also text pictures to all her friends, with all-caps captions like “BE JEALOUS”. She loves thrift-store shopping and watching old sitcoms.  Camellia’s favourite thing in the world is poutine; she mourns the dearth of poutine in California nearly daily on her Twitter. She has a long standing love of Archie comics, and collects them to do this day. She hates socks.

This is an unfinished something from something that never went anywhere. Let’s Make Delicious, y’all.

Skunk doodle from a skunk drawing week that happened last year. Don’t think I posted this ever! (Forgive terrible calligraphy…I was so out of practice…still am…)

A sketch that never made it into a final - Grande Hazelnut Mocha.

She was supposed to be our girl for November, but I just wasn’t feeling her after a couple of attempts. At least she’ll see the light of day as a sketch post!

Sketch of Melody, our Skinny Vanilla Latte.

Initially, I didn’t want to do a super tall skinny coffee girl, but the writeup Rachel did for Melody’s personality (a love of baked potatoes, and a hate for everything and everyone else) wound up being my favourite. 

She started off being a doodle to test a new calligraphic pen (oh that blotched foot :/), and then I realised she would fit a Skinny Vanilla Latte girl.

Cleaning off my desktop to make room for more useless things; I don’t think I ever posted this doodle anywhere. Gibson Girl hair swirlies.

Rachel says: This is Emily. Currently, she plays bass for an all-girl punk group called the Glitter Leeches. Music has always been her passion, and she’s been playing bass since she was fifteen. Of course she never played with her high school band - she was too busy feeling misunderstood and imagining herself as the lead in her own personal episode of Daria (still her favourite show). This fantasy was aided by the fact that she only ever had one really good friend, who is her best friend to this day. Now 22 years old, Emily works several part-time jobs while struggling to devote herself to music. Her favourite of these is at a dying local video store, where she is the manager. She steals rock candy swizzle sticks from the fifty-cent bin on the counter and watches Disney movies during her shifts. She loves post-apocalyptic science fiction novels, and the colour pink.

Sketch of Bernadette, our Grande Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte.

One of my favourite coffee girl sketches, but her expression got lost in translation to colour. I like how she’s really distracted by those chips in this version.

New coffee girl coming up soon! Stay tuned :)
