HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Book Birthday to my special lady friend Dawn Ius and her latest YA novel Lizzie!

I am DYING (I know, I KNOW) to read it! And you should pick up a copy OR ELSE...

Congrats Dawn!

The Verdict is IN!

Nesting Birds: Art in Progress

I received word that my piece was one of the lucky ten selected by jury for the Art Path: Public Art exhibition this summer.

Nesting Birds will be installed at the Oakland Bridge in Lansing MI early June. More details to share as they unfold, but I hope you will be able to take a wander under the bridge and see it with your own eyes.

Now I just have to finish creating it... Pass the blades.

Slicing into Spring

I'm working on a new mid-size papercutting that will hopefully be part of a public art show this summer in Michigan.  Due to the slow and intense nature of this art process I couldn't wait for the jury nod prior to starting. So either it WILL be in that exhibit OR large-ish art piece for sale. Get out your piggy bank...

Stay tuned...

Preorder Presents

I designed/illustrated some bookplates and other neato swag for the amazing Dawn Ius's preorder campaign and her latest YA book Lizzie. Have you ordered your book yet?! Don't miss out! #YA #LizzieBorden

The Highlight of my spring

I am SO EXCITED to announce that this spring I will be scholarshipping off to a workshop at the beautiful Hightlights Foundation in Pennsylvania.

Big, giant, enormous thanks to Highlights for awarding me enough funding to be able to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. I wonder if I'll get to meet Goofus and Gallant...

Spring Fever

I Illustrated and designed this Patagonian Cavy love letter for Potter Park Zoo's upcoming spring Wine, Stein & Spirits.  Hope to see you hop on over there (Cavy's kinda hop... in case you are not that dialed into the ways of the Cavy and their adorable body language...)

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe...

Acclaimed author Dawn Ius contracted me to create/illustrate some promo give aways for her latest novel Lizzie.  (Book is available for pre-order now and available wherever you buy books after March 2018.)

I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST creating visuals for this project! I love true crime and the tale of Lizzie Borden has always stuck in my mind.  I was able to read a few chapters this fall to help me capture the characters and I seriously have not stopped thinking about them.  I cannot wait to read the entire book!
