The time has finally come for me to have FINISHED A PROJECT.
Although, “finishing” this project involved tearing out a few blank pages …
REGARDLESS, I am mailing my sketchbook in tomorrow, which is the postmark deadline. Which means hopefully I can make it to work tomorrow with the weather being this crappy because I [...]
It’s freezing cold outside, so I thought today would be a great day to stay in and catch up on some things.
I’m working on some wedding invitations for my little sister’s friend and I put together a draft of the illustration I’m going to use for them. Her colors are grey, yellow and turquoise. [...]
This week’s Humpday Blog Love installation is dedicated to The Hipster Housewife.
The Hipster Housewife is a blog started somewhat recently by Des Moines’s own Cat Rocketship. If you live in the Des Moines area and haven’t heard of Cat, get out from that rock you’ve been living under. [...]

I was futzing around on iTunes the other day and adding some key albums to my wishlist, when I remembered that a couple bands that I’ve done album art for have their albums on iTunes. I didn’t find one of them, but I did find my friend Flip’s band, The Half Hearts.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m participating in the Art House Coop’s Sketchbook Project this year. That’s what the little doo-hickey on my sidebar is all about.
I received my sketchbook last week. My theme is “It’ll be fun, I swear.”
So far, I’ve just been playing around with simple [...]
Yesterday I signed up for a new project on a whim.
I know. I swore off new projects last week. But … I came across some gorgeous imagery on Pinterest and it lead me to The Sketchbook Project 2011 by the Art House Co-op. The name rang a bell [...]
