I've been meaning to write a long, detailed post about my MFAVN summer semester experience, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and actually do it (which I eventually will).

Most of the work produced during my eight weeks were more experimental exercises than polished pieces, but I was happy with how some projects turned out, including these two silly animations. One features Tate the Tater, a character I developed in my Black, White and One Color class with Nathan Fox. The other is loosely based on a Missed Connection ad found perusing Craigslist (which I didn't know was a thing until recently).

Aside from catching up on sleep, I've slowly begun working on silkscreen projects left on the back-burner, like the follow-ups to the mini-silkscreen zine, Best in Show, tentatively titled Agility Trials (which will feature hurdle-jumping cassowaries) and Dressage (featuring emus). I'm also super excited to be part of the One-Shot Gallery Daughters of The Atom group show in September (a work-in-progress shot below).

If you find yourself in Minneapolis tonight, you should mosey over to Light Grey Art Lab's Animystics exhibition opening reception. Above is my piece for the group show, titled Eikthyrnir, the Gardener. A limited edition of signed silkscreen prints and giclee prints will be available for purchase during the show with proceeds going to The Animal Humane Society. If you, like me, can't make it to the show, you can see everyone's contribution on their website and buy my prints here!

Hoo-ray, MoCCA Arts Fest opens tomorrow (see map here)! Above is a sampling of what I'll have on hand at the Three-Armed Squid table (D12). Additionally, I'll have copies of my Narwhal and Pulpo silkscreen books, Owl Maiden totes, and Llama Salutations greeting cards!.

We'll also be debuting the new issue of Three-Armed Squid's anthology, The Four Elementals, featuring work from Andrea Tsurumi, Jess Worby, Pam Wishbow, Will Varner and more!

Happy Holidays to all! It's been a busy couple of days (excluding a short getaway to Lewisberg, PA to visit friends!). There are 3 (!!!) comics in the works, plus some illustrations for Silver Screen Society on the queue. Recently, I made a tiny, tiny zine about kiwi birds competing in 'Best in Show' for Small Ass Zines, helmed by the lovely Ness Lee! SOOOO happy to be part of the group! I had fun drawing and inking these little guys. If you find yourself in Toronto, you can nab a small ass zine of your own for a loonie at Art Metropole.

These have been hiding in the wings for the last 2 months, but I am now free to share them with all of you! My friends asked me to create a set of 4 illustrations for their wedding guestbook keeping their wedding theme and colors in mind. I thought it would be fun to depict them in their everyday activities within fantastic settings: walking the dogs in outer space, a romantic picnic under the sea, sledding with yetis and tag-teaming to create happy panda bear robots. It was challenging to design these with white space in mind (for guests to write in). They were printed as oversized postcards on a heavy paper stock as an edition of 50. I'll have a picture of the postcards soon!
