It’s Instagram contest time!
Over the years, I’ve amassed zillions of travel photos and created tons of sketchbook drawings, which then served as inspiration for the illustrations in my new book, The Best Coast. And now, Sasquatch Books and I want to see your Best Coast photos! Post your best, most hilarious, or most awkward West Coast road trip photos…

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…

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…

Hand-lettered holidays
Even though it’s nearly as late as it could possibly be, here I am thinking, “Already?!?” But it’s true—even if you don’t do Black Friday (as you can probably guess, I’m partial to Small Business Saturday myself), today’s the “official” opener of the holiday season. And for perhaps the first time ever, I’m actually ready…

Studio shindig
Every year I tell myself I’ll actually take photos during Studio Tour—and every year we get a bigger crowd, and I get all wrapped up in talking to people, and somehow the camera just sits forgotten in a corner. But at least I managed to take a couple of quick snaps of how it looked…

Succulent
Now that the rainy season is starting again, I keep thinking about my amazing trip to the Chihuahuan Desert last year. Here in Washington, the rains make everything lush and green for most of the year. In the Texas desert, a single thunderstorm was enough to make every cactus for miles burst into bloom. The…

Ch-ch-changes
I’m working on something huge (and secret!) that I’ll be launching very soon. In the meantime, I’m going through the studio and doing some housekeeping (both literally and online). As happens with any big shift, it’s time to take a good hard look at anything that doesn’t quite fit the puzzle going forward. So at…

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,…

Animal ABCs
I’ve been asked to take part in another collaborative letterpress portfolio—this time, with the theme of an animal abecedary. Each of the participants gets just a couple of letters in the collection, and I’m happy to report I nabbed two of my favorites. For these prints I experimented with something a little different. They’re hand-painted…
