Creative community through sustainable art
The other night I spent about 6 hours pacing a 10 foot square area that is my bedroom. Or at least, my bedroom with my camera stuff, computer, and ghetto-rigged lighting setup contained within it. It was long. It was tedious. So I bought wine, to make it much less long and tedious. 😀 The…
It’s 3 am. I’m wide awake in my studio, finally slowing down a bit. I started a new project. 😀 I am building a forest. A continuation of my Illustration work (I think.) Remember this? 🙂 Take papercut ink drawings. Insert found objects, old book pages, yellowed paper. Make it 3d. Put it on a…

Pardon the momentary lack of posting! Spring break is over. Literally over, today is my last day and tomorrow begins the mad dash to the end of the semester. I wasn’t nearly as productive as I needed to be over break, but hey, who is? It’s finally starting to warm up! (Although cloudy, boo! X()…
The second piece in my tentatively-titled “Moments” series. The title is almost there. I’m getting sooo close, I can feel it! Coming soon This one has a few more layers of depth than the previous piece, Memory(stream)flows. 😀 Inspiration: Memories- how they shift with time, are fragile, fleeting, dream-like, simultaneous and shifty. Perspective-how everyone’s is unique,…
Finally. Some Finished Work. From the tentatively titled “Moments” series. Titles in debate for this body of work: Moments: In Living Image, Moments in Reverie, Moments in Image, or Moments: A Translucent Journey. Ugh. I need to pick one…(So bad with titles!

Another continuation of my travel moleskine sketchbook that I took throughout Key West, The Bahamas, and a few other places. There was this network of rusty, algae-covered pipes with other equally-icky looking cords running underneath of the front porch of the floating house we were staying on in Key West. I would find myself staring…
The theme this week for Illustration Friday was “Unmoveable”. Mountains are pretty unmoveable. 🙂 Media: brush/ink, brush pens, microns Inspired by warm nights in eastern Washington, evening hiking trips, and watching sunsets from the balcony. I spent a summer there with some family, and absolutely loooove it. <3 <3 Comments/feedback/critique encouraged
Heather, Zach, and I made a small journey to another local creepy cemetery, my favorite! This cemetery is particularly cool because #1: It’s big. And by big, I mean HUGE. It sits on a really hilly area of town, so there are gravestones sticking out of the hillside, and along with the hills comes lots…
