I’m officially endorsing Barack Obama. Since this is an Art-not-Politics blog, I drew a picture and messed with it in photoshop:

New Work at The Shiny Squirrel

May 1st, 2008
add to sk*rt

I am the featured designer this month at The Shiny Squirrel! Jessica picked out some of her favorites to offer for sale in her (totally amazing) shop. The Shiny Squirrel has prints and originals from all types of artists and designers, and I am really flattered to be in the company of so many artists that I admire.

I have several original pieces for sale, including an edition of 9 original serigraphs (silkscreens). Go check out my work, and be sure to browse around the shop for all the other little wonders!

Yupo “Paper”

April 11th, 2008
add to sk*rt

I bought a pad of Yupo “paper.” It’s not actually paper at all, but rather a “synthetic paper” made of 100% Polypropylene. It’s a sheet of plastic! It’s really durable and can take lots of erasing and wiping off without any signs of wear. You can’t even tear the paper if you wanted to-scissors only! It’s a strange surface to work on because it is totally non-absorbent.

This is my first artwork on Yupo, but look forward to more!

add to sk*rt

I opened up a Dawanda shop, to make it easier to do business outside of the US. If you’re a visitor from Europe, please give the new shop a visit! I’m totally excited about connecting with a broader audience. I’m hatching all sorts of plans, so keep updated for exciting developments!

OH wow

Etsy made me their featured seller last week. I did an interview, which was intimidating. My first real interview. The questions were good and answering them made me think a lot about what I’m doing. You can read it here.

I added the new series, Technicolor, to my art store and the gallery. These remind me that Spring is just around the corner, and I just can’t wait.

Technicolor Video

March 16th, 2008
add to sk*rt

These are my most recent works in a nice video format. Since most of my work is in the details I think video is a good way of showing them close up. These are collage and mixed media on board. Compiled of over 1000 digital photos taken with a Canon Rebel XTi. Music by The Books. Let me know what you think!

The work in the video is currently for sale in my art store.

Busy Busy

March 4th, 2008
add to sk*rt

 I’ve been busy getting ready for my show this weekend, and I’m really excited about it.  Yesterday I hauled all the new work up to Shine Salon.  With the invaluable help of my friend, mentor, and former teacher, Cordelia Williams, we hung 40 PIECES!!!  (Cordelia is an amazing artist and it would be time well spent to go visit her website and view some of her incredible work :) )

…with all the hustle bustle, I’ve only had time to doodle:
