Jellied delights
You already know I have a thing for absurd, elaborate, apocalypse-resistant desserts. I took an afternoon “off” from my normal studio work to play around with various silly things, and this ended up being the theme. I think it’s sort of an illustrator’s version of happy hour, I suppose…

Focal Point
If you earn your living by drawing pictures, you have to spend a lot of time with your head down and your eyes on your paper. Yet at this time of year, with spring coming along fast (at least in the Northwest…), life hurries by at a frantic pace. I hate the idea of missing…

Well, I only just realized that my only photo of last night’s opening (stupid phone!) was so out of focus, but oh well. It still gives you an idea of how nicely the Wayzgoose steamroller prints look on a gallery wall! Thanks to everybody who made the trek down to Parkland last night for the…

In the shop you’ll find snazzy new postcards… …gift tags (I’m particularly excited about these)… …and even fun temporary tattoos!

Cold studio, warm palette
For the past few days I’ve been painting while wrapped in a thick wool shawl and wearing fingerless gloves—but howl as it might, no polar vortex can dim my bright tropical paints. I’m putting the finishing touches on a few new goodies, just in time for Valentine’s Day. If you’re local, you can find them…

Painted wings
My acrylic inks and black paper are getting a lot of use these days. This guy is part of a new series that’ll be leaving the nest in the next few days. More soon…

In the news
I woke up this morning to find a big article about my You’ll Like Tacoma exhibit in the News Tribune! Huge thanks to Rosemary Ponnekanti for interviewing me and for the kind review of my show!
