…and to all a good night
Shooting grainy on-the-fly night photos doesn’t always yield the best results, but it’s done a great job of documenting this year’s Season of Light. I hope yours is as warm and bright as ours has been, and that you are surrounded by joy while the sun makes its way back to us. Good Yule, and…

Last shot!
We’ve been in a flurry of holiday orders lately, and our Dead Feminist broadsides are flying off the shelf. I just did a count of our broadside inventory, and I thought I should tell you that both our Annie Oakley and Imogen Cunningham broadsides are nearly sold out. As of this writing (afternoon of Friday,…

The door’s open
It’s hard to believe this much time has gone by already, but Tacoma Arts Month is here again, and that means that Studio Tour is this weekend! I’m all settled into my new space (don’t go to the old house by mistake!)—won’t you help me christen it? I’m planning on doing a big blog reveal…

Seven for seven
I can hardly believe it, but I’ve now lived in the Pacific Northwest for seven years. In that time I’ve done my very best to see as much of the region as possible, and document it all in my sketchbook. So in honor of seven years, here are seven sketchbook drawings— —presented in no particular…

Proud day
Babe Didrikson Zaharias and other LGBTQ public figures of her time didn’t have the option of living their lives they way they chose. But we think it’s a bit of poetic justice that the Supreme Court made their landmark decisions on all three LGBTQ cases (Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, United States v. Windsor in…

Title Nine Iron
If you happen to be in the Pacific Northwest right now, you might find yourself surrounded by plus-fours and golf claps. This weekend marks the final days of the U.S. Open golf championship, which is being hosted in our hometown for the first time ever. The Chambers Bay golf course is one of the most…

We did it!
Holy cow—we made our Kickstarter goal three days early! I can’t tell you how much it means that you helped us reach our goal, and so quickly. This project has truly been a labor of love, and it feels so good to know that you support local and women-owned businesses like us. Production is going…

On the green
There’s a very big sporting event coming to my town next week—and even though I’m not a ticketholder (or even all that interested in the sport itself), the spectacle is already proving to be a big source of inspiration. So here’s another piece of what Jessica and I are working on—look for more next week!
