Bears and Trees

Spooning Mugs

Real spoons and real cups brings me joy when I have a hit of coffee, or tea, or anything hot on a cold day, which is like everyday come winter. Designs in my drink like a simple heart makes my day just that much better. It say that someone cares just a little more, and we all could use a lot more caring.

"Happy faces, i love too"

things that were in my pocket today

I was shuffling my pockets looking for a bus transfer... only to find 5 different ones. So i did a doodle of what was in my coat pocket.

"whats in your pocket?"

The New Guy

"I'm new, be Nice to me"

Went Peeling with Jeff

Should have posted this when it was fresh, but better late than never right? Over the summer I took a silk screening workshop taught by Jeff Garcia to update my printing skills. I took it with Peter Chan and Lettie Lo, there was also a large group of other printers taking the workshop as well. It was great working with everyone, and I do recommend taking the course if you are interested in printing. Over the course of the workshop, we all created 2 Zines together as well as out individual projects. Here are the zines.

"It happened"

"Wash"

"The cover"

"This page has all our names on it"

"This is the page Peter is on, top middle was his"

"Top left is mine and bottom left is Lettie"

New York

update! Was in NewYorkCity past weekend selling my wares at NYAF and premiering 2 new designs, both sold out so I have yet any in stock to sell. (working on some kind of online store :O) The turtle design (brown) is a collaboration with Peter Chan and the other new design is the one on the gray shirt. Thanks everyone who supported my table and everyone who stopped to look.
