Inktober 2017 Day 4 (and 5)
EDITED for an explanation of Day 5.Inktober 2017 days 4 and 5. I know, Inktober is a drawing a day, but I was so so pleased to finish this drawing on day 4 with just 20 minutes to spare, and I stuck it on the scanner, and posted it. Then I noticed so many spots that weren’t done. Most often I don’t do colour. My partner in crime does the colour in most of the artwork we collaborate on, and I usually stick to black and white with the occasional accent, but this drawing *needed* colour. What do I have aside from a few random fancy pens I use to…

Inktober 2017 Day 2
Sometimes I ask on twitter: Draw a(n)_____________. I can’t always get to everything, but I do often mange. A ladybug in tap shoes was the response I got yesterday from my friend David. So here we are. I can only imagine the tiny clicks of his tap shoes. 6 x 6 ink on paper. I added him to Society6.

Everything Will Be Okay – My First Zine
I have been wanting to make a zine FOREVER. In light of the last year, two years, how long has this been going on? The election, the personal lives of so many people I know, how many friends died of cancer. Just a lot. I suppose this is all part of getting older. Is it? Anyway things in the world are tumultuous, and I want to counter it in any tiny way I can. So this little project of mine: it is small and fits in your pocket. Not a fancy edition to collect and save in mylar, but something that you can carry in your pocket to pull out…

Light Fuse and Fly Away: Crows Playing With Fire June/July Show at Redux
Brent and I have pretty much constantly been in the studio for our latest show. As you can see from just this one piece, it has a LOT of detail in it, and took forever. But so worth it. When you can step back and look at something in wonder, and say to yourself, wow, I made that. Our style is really meshing together. One thing you may or may not know about me is that I hate HATE painting. All of this began with a year long oil painting class in college. I don’t need to elaborate. Don’t get me wrong, about 98% of the paint is Brent. The…

Same Old Same Old
These are interesting times. I don’t really like to discuss my personal life online AT ALL. Here will be no exception. Need to know basis. I’m secretive to a fault. Except for some things. I’ve been sharing my creative process with you for years. No trade secrets jealously guarded, because why bother? The internet allows you to look up just about anything; no mysteries there. I always like to show my work, because one thing that drives me absolutely crazy is when people say: “Oh, you’re so talented.” Like the hours upon hours I spend honing my craft of perfect stitches, and tiny lines, shaving off bits of curves to…

Holiday 2015 – Part Four Hummingbird Pieces for Sale
If you have been following me on Instagram you will know that Brent Wear and I have been working hard on finishing a crap ton of smaller pieces in an affordable range to hang up at Johnny Sole 815 SW Alder in downtown Portland for the holidays. The show will be up until at least January with pieces rotating in and out as they sell and we make more things. In the interest of being equitable to out of town fans and me not completely losing my mind, I am not listing any of the originals in my shop. Instead I am going to post photos here and on Instagram, and if you see something you…
