hello! happy new years!!
hm...maybe i should write a little about new years resolutions.
this year, i resolve to spend less time with friends and more time with my paintbrushes. i hope this doesn't make me sad.

you can find me in CMYK magazine's winter issue at your local barnes and noble or borders bookstore.. please look for it! i have three images in the first spread of the illustration section.

my plushie.

i made this for AG's plush workshop. it was my idea of the perfect animal - until i saw THIS.

The Return of Something Not So Vague

Hi. Two of my paintings are up at All Rise Gallery in Wicker Park (Chicago). Check out tonight's cocktail reception if you happen to be in the area. Thanks, Lisa!

Oh, and if you do see the show - I am in love with the constellation series, esp no. 8 =)

the children's book that i worked on last year is done!! check out the website. the book is bound beautifully..the hardback is even debossed =) props to david miller and 72 and sunny.












i went to the pond behind the art museum in cleveland heights and listened to all the ugly sounds the geese made for half an hour.

And look!
Remember this drawing?

















My friend Morgan did a "response" to it!!wow!

hello!

i'm making these little balls. they hang from my ceiling but they almost touch the ground. i want to put lots and lots of them all together in a closet or some little space.











here are some trees, on an island, in the water.









question for you: (help!)
i want to take a second job, but i can't decide which to go for...

1. koko bakery (they serve chinese bakery bread, milk tea, shaved ice)
2. the new sasa japanese restaurant at shaker square
3. trader joe's signage artist

which one ??

the playroom

lately, i've been thinking that it would be really great if i could grow trees in my apartment. they'd just grow up to the ceiling, and then continue to grow across the ceiling. i guess the roots would get too big for any pot, so your whole floor would be a pot... and there would probably be lots of bugs, and that would be gross... but i still like the idea of a tree ceiling.

self portrait in progress!

i haven't colored w/photoshop forever. i also haven't done anything realistic forever either. so i wanted some practice.. and earlier this summer someone asked me why i didn't have any self portraits. i don't know? so here's one

prickly reindeer

new painting!








sketch!

sketch from the farmer's market

i love new traditions (don't laugh at me if you're from AG).
my newest one: going to shaker square down the block from our apt every sat morning for the farmer's market. we bring big grocery bags and pick out our peaches, huge overgrown tomatoes, sweet corn, maybe some zucchini or green beans or even spaghetti...stop by dave's if we've missed anything...then we walk the little block back to the apartment and cook up a huuuge brunch for ourselves and anyone that wants to join =)

armillo

from italo calvino's invisible cities

hair?

a show!

I've copied and pasted a press release. The kind people at Black Maria asked me to hang a handful of my work for the opening this Saturday. I won't be there...so if you get to go, take pictures for me!

Truxtop presents Flags Unflown: a group show of over 50 local artists, all starting with identical panels of wood cut to the dimensions of the American flag, let loose in a fantastic dog-pile of individual expression.
