GIANT Anteater

Lots of fun projects in the pipeline that I can't quite share. But here is a cool new exhibit sign for the zoo.  The GIANT anteater just moved into Potter Park and I for one would like to give him a great big welcome!

Research for this guy sort of blew my mind!  He can weigh up to 90 Lbs and his claws are so long and sharp and fierce, he can rip a jaguar (or person...Gulp!) to shreds.

EEK!  Much respect to this toothless bug-sucking warrior. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and say "Hey Buddy..."

HOWWWLLL at the Moon

After a busy bee summer, (lots of new art will be posted very soon!) my favorite time of year is near! Here's a little digital doodle to celebrate my excitement!

Hope is the thing with feathers

#PapercutIllustration

I love making every slice for this piece. It's truly been a joyful & meditative experience so far!

And any type of work that slows down my brain is a welcome project!

Something new & big is happening on my table.  Here's a peek at the beginning.

Investigate Art

I continue to be inspired by the characters of books.  In fact, Nancy Drew needs to be a whole series, dedicated to my sister who read a giant box of them the summer of her eleventh year and then suffered from nightmares and then read continued to read the rest.

One for you & one for me

I don't usually keep my own work, because well... Mortgage, food and heat. But I've decided to hold onto Secret Garden.  At least for now.  She's my fave from the show and a nice reminder of that month when a gallery in Lansing let me turn their walls into paper vines.

Owl be seeing you at the zoo

New signage at Potter Park Zoo 

I'm working on some new owl signs for Potter Park Zoo, and loving how the design and photos are coming together.

On a personal note, I love owls - the zoo let me pet one a couple years ago.  It was so exciting for me, but the owl seemed pretty disgusted with our entire interaction. Oh well.
