prints/shirts

As you can see from the hands on the girls, they aren't finished yet. But they're nearing completion. The picture with the hula hoop would be a 3-color print. The one with red-headed girls is only a 2-color. I'll be adding more detail.

1 and done!

Hey, fancy friends.
I'm doing stuff. Promise. I've just been [insanely] busy.
After 1 year working there, I decided to part ways with the University of Kentucky.

I'll brb, folks.

stuff!

Hey, you guys!
I have been working on the painting!






















I have also designed the album packaging for Pilots & Errors upcoming CD release called July. I'm currently working on an accompanying website. Fun!

Screen Printing

Hey guys. Stuff is getting done 'round these parts. I'd post it now, but I want to do a slow release; 1 new design every month for 12 months. I've got 2 images done right now, but I'm working on setting up a screen print studio so I can make them available in hand-pulled print form. It might take me a couple months to source materials and do this cheaply, but i'm all kinds of excited.

strange

I had some alone time after work today. While i'm still not sure what prompted me to do it, I decided to look through my facebook messages from the last 5 years. It was uncomfortable. I skimmed through entire years of my life; Then I deleted them.

progress

Here's some of the progress i've made on my painting (and a pic for scale):

Happy Fun Time

I had a great day!! For many reasons! I hope yours was too.
Reasons why my day was great:

1) I got my hair cut for the first time in over 6 months and no longer look/feel like a complete raggamuffin urchin girl.

1.5) We have internet at our apartment now! It only took us 2 months to commit to it!

2) Trav and I took off work today (in advance) because we drove up to Newport, KY last night and saw Samantha Crain play at the Southgate House. Funnnnn

3) We ate a heart attack-inducing quantity of turkey pepperonis while standing in the kitchen talking about what we should do today.

4) The ever-talented illustrator, Sam Bosma, pointed out to me that I was featured on a fancy blog called We Love You So. Sam's work is also on display there! Checkitout, folks. And thanks, WLYS! It's a little disturbing how well the blog post describes me, but it's also really flattering.

And to those of you who wish I was posting some new work, JUST YOU HOLD YOUR BEAUTIFUL HORSES please. I've been coming up with designs involving wordplay and silly animals. I'm still in the sketching stage, but i'll post them as they become finished. There's a good chance they will end up on t-shirts. ...and maybe those t-shirts will end up on your bodies?

G'night, everyone!
It's time to listen to Mumford & Sons and drink some gin & tonics (cheers to ampersands).

the days are just packed

Hello all.
I've moved into an apartment! And I've been painting again! Large paintings! Scantily clad women with light seafoam skin and strange striped jumpers doing unfathomable acrobatics. If that sounds familiar, it is because it's the second painting like this i've done (the first was in 2008). I plan on painting lots of these in different compositions, color variations, and canvas sizes. No more painting on paper. I'm steppin' up my game, people. Since I work full time and don't consider myself a total shut-in, progress is rather slow. I'm hoping to use the next 2 years to build a small collection of my spare time paintings. Then, there will be a show. Hopefully, people will purchase these paintings and put them in their homes.

Since we don't have internet at the apt yet, pics will have to wait for now. In addition to that problem, I also have to send my computer in for repairs. The optical drive needs replaced.... sigh.

These are progress images from the first painting I mentioned earlier from back in '08:
