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…

Ink This!
One exhibit might be ending this week, but another is just getting started. On Tuesday night I went to the opening for Ink This!, a new exhibit of contemporary Northwest print arts at the Tacoma Art Museum. The place was completely packed—both in the lecture space and in the common areas. I spent so much…

Summer sampler
I stopped by the Collins Memorial Library this week to see the new Puget Sound Book Artists exhibition, and look what’s in the show! If you haven’t had a chance to see my Mnemonic Sampler abecedary in person yet, the PSBA folks have it beautifully displayed in one of the wall cases. (The display is…

Making the cut
Much as I’d love them to be done by now, there’s still about a zillion flats to be cut for my Local Conditions book. I can’t do them all in one go—all that hand-Xacto-knifing is really hard on your hands. So I fit the cutting in wherever I can, whenever I need a break from…

Books by the Bay
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since the last one, but a few weeks ago I was back for my second showing at the Codex International Bookfair. The four-day fair was at a new venue this year—a space so gorgeous just I had to break out the ol’ sketchbook. This year (and hopefully…

Hold Your Horses
I’m pleased to present my latest artist book, Hold Your Horses. The book consists of a hand-bound portfolio (in various one-of-a-kind colors) that…well..holds some horses. I figured it was only a matter of time before I did another print set like I did with the birds. This time, though, I picked my favorite equine breeds,…

Animated artist book
Speaking of keeping busy, looks like I’m not the only one who’s been working on my Local Conditions book. The kind folks at Stanford University put together a little video demonstrating how book works. So now, instead of having to explain it step-by-step, and hope for the best, I can actually show you in real…

Intermission
Now that I’m back in town, I’ve got deadlines. Lots of them. Like, hundreds and hundreds. Each one shaped like a little P-I Globe, a little Space Needle, or any number of things. You get the idea.

Remnants
Just wanted to give you a peek at what the studio looks like these days. I try not to think about it too hard, because I officially unveiled the thing almost a year ago, but I’m still working on my book. Big dang pile of box parts; coffee cup for scale. You see, it’s one…

Horton hears a universe
You know, I spent the whole time I was at Codex just trying to process everything around me. I thought the few weeks since that I’ve been telling stories and rehashing memories would make it easier to sort it out in my mind, but I still just can’t seem to articulate the impressions bouncing around…
