All the news fit to print
Already 2015 is shaping up to be a year of new projects and lots of changes—I have a barrage of new things to share with you, but rather than bombard you with everything all at once, I’ll stick to just a couple for now. For one thing, I’m excited to announce that a selection of…

Shelf life
You’ll have to excuse the grainy photos—snapping pictures in the basement is never ideal. But this shelf sure is—last week the Tailor built me an enormous inventory storage system, and over the weekend I finally organized my entire stock of stationery. It’s hard to see the scale here, but this monster is about 8 x…

Empire Builder
It’s been more than four years since my last artist book (which, incidentally, I’m still working on)—I guess it’s been that long since I had something to say that warranted a multi-page art format. I suppose when it rains, it pours, though—because with this new project, there’s so much to say that an artist book…

Ram-alamadingdong
Today is the beginning of the lunar new year, and you’ll have to forgive me, because I’m about to get cryptic. (Some day, I hope, I’ll explain.) For everyone out there who doesn’t happen to live in Tacoma: happy Year of the Sheep! You can stop reading now. And for those Tacomans in the know:…

Just a taste
Today is the last day of CODEX, and since people there have been able to see this thing already, Jessica and I thought we should give you a glimpse as well. Look for the new Dead Feminist broadside to appear online at the end of next week!

The holiday rush
Every day this month I’ve brought a stack of packages like this to the post office, fulfilling orders and sending my goods to every corner of the country and beyond. Normally this is the week that the orders taper off, as folks finish off their Christmas list or the holiday USPS deadline looms. This year,…

Starting with the corners
Slowly but surely, this place is beginning to look like home. Good thing, because the days are absolutely flying by, the weeks passing me in a blur of time. Neither the Tailor nor I could really take any time off from work for our move, so we can only settle in a little at a…

Full house
This weekend was the biggest and best Studio Tour yet—and I even remembered to take pictures! Well, sort of, anyway. I managed to document my space for the last time, but then chaos took over. It’s a good thing I bought just about every last organic jellybean in the city of Tacoma, because we needed…

Last hurrah
I know I’ve been a little quiet online lately, but it’s certainly not quiet around my house. This is the state of things right now—at least in the back half of the house. The Tailor and I are moving to a new house/studio in just over a week (still in Tacoma! Just a couple of…

Fiberglass and frames
‘Scuse the bad photos—all I had on me was a mobile phone and a shaky hand. But that’s okay, because if you’re local, you can see the real thing. I just finished installing my newest solo show, featuring sketchbook drawings of roadside attractions! I went for a wide variety of favorite fiberglass and concrete monuments—not…
