Welcome!
This is Aimee Steinberger's journal. It's filled with sketches, costumes, kimono and photos of cats and flowers.If you'd like to see my artwork you can use the "art" tag here on my LJ (I always post my artwork to LJ first...) or you can view my portfolio and resume on my website.
I am currently an animator and assistant director at Rough Draft Studios on various projects including the new season of Futurama. I previously worked for Warner Brothers, Film Roman on the Simpsons and Disney in various animation artist positions.
I don't really add people unless I know them personally, thanks for your understanding! Feel free to watch or add though as you like! :) Most of the posts are public, including art posts.
My book, Japan Ai: A Tall Girl's Adventures in Japan, is out through Go! Comi! You can also find it on Amazon and your local bookstore or comicbook store. It's a story of my two girl friends and I in Japan. :)If you've read Japan Ai and would like to leave me a comment about it I'd really appreciate it! (or you can email me.)

Couple more photos from Michelle’s 20′s birthday party at the Biltmore!
Just popping in to let everyone know that I finally got the brown and black colorways of my “Teaspoon and an Open Mind” Doctor Who fabric up on spoonflower! I wasn’t quite happy with the contrast of the stripes on those two, so I had to find some time to sit down and play with spoonflower’s swatches to try and get some good matches. Most of the colors (if not all) used in these images are from spoonflower’s swatch pallets, so they should look nice! But order a swatch to see for yourself how they look printed! Hope you enjoy!
(At this point, all the colorways are up, the Blue, Peach, Pink, Lavender, Black and Brown).
You can find all the colorways and fabrics here.
Hey folks!
You can see some newly released by Comedy Central storyboards from Futurama on my site and on Comedy Central’s Countdown to Futurama site now! The boards were all drawn by me and from my sequences. Really jazzed that they chose those to show so that I can show them to you! It’s not very often that I’m able to. These are from the (not aired yet) season premiere of Futurama, The Bots and the Bees, directed by Stephen Sandoval and assistant directed by me. It’s a really sweet and funny episode.

Last night I went to the historic Biltmore Hotel for Michelle‘s 30th Birthday party (end of the roaring 20′s!) For it, I finally finished up my first 1920′s dress (done up from an actual pattern reproduction from 1921!)
Here’s a couple photos of the finished dress. I’m sure some photos from the party will show up later. 
You can see a few more photos and details about this dress here.

Oh man… So busy lately, when was the last time I drew something not Futurama? D:
Here’s a birthday drawing I did today for my friend Michelle (Chubby Bunny). She’s doing her hair up like Celestia from My Little Pony this weekend. Done in COPIC markers.

My next project has to be done by late April! It’s a pink floral Robe à l’Anglaise (a la polonaise). I’m going to use JPRyan’s pattern (View A). I actually bought the beautiful hand painted fabric for it in 2009 (below). I also have beautiful custom dyed “Georgiana” silk shoes to match from American Duchess that have never been worn. That’s quite a bit sad. So you can say this is another “been in the works for a while” costume!
Here’s a few of my inspiration gowns. The Pink robe a la franchise is from Augusta Auction and the cream and green Polonaise is from the V&A museum.
First things first, though, I needed a new set of stays. My older stays were an earlier 18th century period (also JPRyan pattern) but I just don’t like the shape they give me, so I decided to give the later half-boned stays a try. And what better way to use up some of the beautiful silk I got in Beijing?
I really wasn’t happy with the available bindings, so I had to make my own (so tedious…) Here you can see me slowly pinning the binding to the top of the stays. I think I might end up hand stitching it, which I normally don’t do, just because I want it to look extra pretty. We’ll see. I don’t have that much time.
