Teeing up
Amidst all the Kickstarter hubbub, I have another deadline to attend to: Jessica and I are releasing a new Dead Feminist broadside in a week or so. Normally I would have postponed that for a bit, at least until the Kickstarter was behind me, but we’re timing the new broadside to align with a big…

Pick of the litter
UPDATE as of June 12: Just four days left, and we have less than $2000 to go! We’re almost there! UPDATE as of June 8: One week left, and just over $6000 to go! We can do it! Thanks to you, we’ve blown past the halfway point of the funding goal on the Constellation coat!…

Apple blossom time
I took this photo of one of our apple trees a couple of weeks ago, when the blossoms were at their peak. Now the tree just has a couple of blooms still hanging on— —but if you look closely, it has other surprises in store.

Tabula rasa
Jessica and I are working on the next Dead Feminist broadside right now—our process begins with choosing a quote and hammering out a rough concept, and then I do a bunch of thumbnail sketches to puzzle out the design.

Seattle stitches
I’ve been sitting on this announcement for a little while, because I wanted to wait until the project went “live” for my client and their customers, too. Now that it has, I can show you the new fabric I designed. That’s right, fabric! This has been a bit of an illustration dream-come-true for me; I’ve…
