D.B. Cooper
Just a little crosspost here about my other project: Fancy Mammal. You probably already know this, but I work with Brent Wear to make these pieces where he paints and I draw in ink to make some of our unique ideas come to life. I love how this piece came out and wanted to share it with you. Now you know I have a secret other art life in addition to sewing all the things and illustrating all the things. Who knew that we’d be releasing a piece about D.B. Cooper right around the anniversary of the hijacking. The crows know what’s up. Brent and I wrote about this piece…

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…

Postcards
As Brent Wear and I are getting ready for our big holiday show (more on that soon), I couldn’t resist having some postcards made out of some of the collection of small pieces we are making. There is a corvid set and a burrowing owl set available while supplies last.

Burrowing Owls
This is the first burrowing owl drawn in my calendar. He is my spirit animal. Is it okay to laugh at your own jokes? This guy pleases me to no end. So of course I had to draw more.. and that leads to some more formal drawings. and some collaborations with Brent Wear:

Collaborations 14 and 15 and a Some Crows
So my friend Brent Wear and I have been working away on new pieces, and I am excited that some are finally finished. These most recent pieces have taken a bit of a turn of the surreal, but that is just our personalities bleeding into our work. As you may have guessed, we both have odd senses of humour. Someday I will have to post some of our really bad sketches that we draw to make each other laugh. We are both pretty pleased with how these last two works have come out. So pleased in fact that the Swallow with a House on its Back has become our business…
