If you’ve ever visited my older site (the non-erotic one,) then you might have noticed a series of pieces starring these girls I call the Pretty Pose Pom Pom Posse.
The Posse began as a fleeting idea I had in college. It’s basically a send-up of one of my favorite Japanese anime series, Sailor Moon. A friend of mine got extremely upset that I’d draw cheerleaders in high heels. She didn’t get that was one of the jokes.

The core group began as just four girls. Tiffany was the ditz, Natalie was the leader, Melanie was the brain, and Stephanie was the ho.

I think it was my junior or senior year when I got a portfolio review by a guy at TokyoPop. He liked my work and encouraged me to submit something starring the girls. From then on, the Posse has been a work in progress in my head.

The first thing I did next was design Brittany. I had always felt a little hypocritical not including a brown character in the mix, being someone that is a huge proponent of diversity.

Then, since I desperately craved a few male characters in this thing, I created Jeremy and Zachary. But then I quickly tired of the idea of male cheerleaders and removed them from the squad (but not from the storyline.) Jeremy, the brunette, is a hot shot heartthrob on whom all the girls have crushes. Zachary, the blonde, is Jeremy’s best buddy but more uptight than anyone else.

The girls underwent many revisions in my sketchbook, but this design for them is the most recent. Natalie gets a new hairdo and becomes a lot more of a snarky bitch while Brittany loses the dreadlocks but remains a no-nonsense tough broad.

Upon seeing the movie D.E.B.S., (which is a-fucking-mazing… in a campy “aww this actually got funded” kinda way) my fetish for prep school uniforms was restored. So below are the versions of the girls and boys when not in Pom Pom mode.
I won’t go into too much of the plot here, but I will tell you that one of the reveals is that Zachary and Jeremy not only have their own special transformations but also, of course, have the hots for each other! The drawing below was more for me than the actual story, being that the plot is kinda all-ages as I see it.
But this is precisely why this series never went anywhere. I just don’t have the drive to finish it cuz it’s not porn! 🙂 Someday…
I actually liked DEBS, even if it was 99% camp. But I ended up going to one of those uptighty religious schools with the uniforms, and all I can say is, they become a lot less sexy when you’re wearing them in 90 degree weather. Anyways, love the drawings, and look! We share a name! Squee!
i love love love the colors in the girls pieces .. its so cute.
but those boys are sure damm hot!
i was wondering if you would like to trade links and be afflicates.
if you want, just drop me a line at my blog. but we’re alike, i need references to do my pieces!
Omg, I desperately want Jeremy to make sweet, sweet love to me. XD In any of his incarnations, lol. Amazing stuff, as usual JC! ^_^ Loves it! 😀
Yeah, Jeremy– the stories I hear about Catholic school are pretty extreme. I have a friend who went to an all-boys one and he told me some amazing stories about orgies in the bathrooms!
Hi JC Art! We are VERY alike. I go by JC as well– haha!. I meant to trade links with you long ago. Ah well, it’s done now. Just Curious is in my blogroll. Thanks for the hit and the kudos.
I know, Dreamerboy, isn’t Jeremy scrumptious?! As you know, I have a thing for badboys with big dongs! In my loosely plotted storyline, Zach desperately longs for Jeremy’s cock after seeing it so many times in the locker-room, but he’s too shy to admit it because they’re best buds. As you can see, as I grew to accept my own sexuality, the focus of the story shifts from cute girls in cute outfits to hot and raunchy gay mansex! lol
Very cool and love the color, pretty!
