Smarty Pants Travel

Howdy Folks!

I'm excited to share a new illustration with you! Josh Stromberg, a smart young man who's going places (literally!), asked me to create a banner for his travel blog:

Needless to say, I was impressed by his blog and his thorough reviews. Here are the designs I came up with. I was having such a good time that I did a few color combos for fun.

Thanks for visiting! Happy Holidays!

Evergreen Hospital Art Show

Howdy howdy!

I hope you all at a super cosmic Thanksgiving! I'm writing to tell you that coming up in February, a large exhibition of my artwork will be displayed at the Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA. About 20-25 of my paintings and drawings will be hung in the Silver Gallery, which is right next door to the emergency room.

This is the most work I've ever exhibited, so it will be exciting to see it all hanging. The show will last from February to April and the hospital is open 24/7, so you can visit anytime that's convenient for you! Here's a link to the hospital's website, I'll also post more info as the date gets closer:

Hope to see you there! Thanks for visiting my blog!

Unicorn Tears

At work a short while back, Lauren (who is in charge of the awesome) informed me that things weren't quite as awesome as they should be. As it turned out, lots of folks had been leaving their dirty dishes in the studio sink for others to clean. To remedy this sad state of affairs, she commissioned me to draw a picture so sad that it would shame these characters into washing their own dishes.

Ok, maybe things weren't really that bad. But the kitchen definitely needed to be decorated. Here is the finished piece. Feel free to print it out and post it anywhere that dishes need washing. Thanks to Lauren for giving me an excuse to draw this, and thanks to Run Studio for allowing me to hang this in their kitchen. And thank you for visiting my blog!

Artwork in Hometown Hospital

Howdy hey!

Just want to let you know that a large print of one of my paintings is hanging at the hospital in Newberg, OR!


A year or two ago, I was exploring selling giclee prints of my artwork and had a ginormous print made of one of my paintings. The giclee business idea never panned out and the print stayed in storage. Then my parents had the great idea of donating it to the hospital in my hometown, where it now hangs near the ER. It feels stellar to know that the print has a great home and hopefully brightens a few people's days.

Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Atlanta Underground Film Fest & Shorts Fest

Howdy One and All!

I’m super excited to announce that my short film “What’s the Deals?” will screen at two festivals in Atlanta this September:

The Atlanta Underground Film Festival, September 22 – 25

&

The Atlanta Shorts Fest, September 8 – 10.

Both festivals take place at the Goat Farm Arts Center, and judging from the name alone, it sounds like it will be a mind blowing experience! Below is a synopsis of “What’s the Deals?”

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And that certainly seems to be true for this poker-playing robot. Or is it? What’s the deal?”

If you make it down to Atlanta, I hope you enjoy the film and have a blast!

Telly Awards

Hi Folks!

I'm really excited to tell you that a project I worked on won two Tellys! Woot woot! The project was on a super short ten day deadline, so it's really exciting that it turned out and people enjoy it!

The crew at Run Studios is super awesome and it's great to be on the team. For this project, I worked on concept art and during production I designed and painted the props and backgrounds. Enjoy! Thanks for visiting!
