Birds of a Feather

Here is the piece that is in the “Work + Play” show at the Land Gallery in Portland, Oregon.  While the show is up you can buy a high quality print of mine and/or one of the 70 selected works. The show will be up until August 24, 2014. I hope that if you are local you will check it out in person. They also have a fun shop just below the gallery space.

Here is the link to purchase the print:

The show was a collaboration with ICON8, The Illustration Conference which I attended this year. I took a bunch of iPhone pictures of the event which I put up on my flickr page if you want to check them out.

I also made a video of the great experience of the Tape Mural Workshop with Brian Rea.

I’m still processing my time out in Portland with so many wonderful, creative people. Portland is a very welcoming and walkable city which was a nice bonus to my trip.

Probably the biggest take-away from the event is that I can’t wait to get back in my studio and get making.

Extreme Makeover

art supplies

If you’ve been following me on Instagram

you know that I have been doing a lot of drawings in pen & ink and watercolor.

I wanted to post some of the pictures here on my website but when I went to do that it was too much of a mismatch with the content that I had posted.

So I tore up the website in a way that I would have no choice but to give it a total make over.

And in the meantime I continued to pile up the watercolor paper with drawings using the new technique.

So I gave myself the deadline of April 1st to get ‘er done.

I used the Gridly theme for WordPress which is a minimal, responsive theme that will look good on all kinds of devices. And it was simple enough for me to figure out how to make work, with minimal wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I hope you like it.

I will be adding more content over the next couple of weeks. So, stay tuned.
