I painted this starling about a year ago and it was featured in an article about these birds on the blog, Ms. Jeannie Ology today. I love these birds. They have the most amazing pattern in their feathers and make surreal shapes in the sky while they are migrating. It's bizarre and beautiful. Thanks, Ms. Jeannie!
I have so many projects going right now it's a little crazy. We're brainstorming ideas for the new issue of Ladies & Gentlemen Quarterly... For now here's an excerpt of issue one. It can be bought at The Arsenal or in my Etsy shop. I'm excited for the next one since we are planning on screenprinting the next cover and hand sewing the pages.
I've been painting all the plants I own. I love this Calathea, with its dots and stripes. I just bought this pot for it and I think it works quite nicely.
I spent some quality time with good friends today. Here, we were at Mission Cheese in San Francisco for an afternoon snack. So good.
I have been pretty slow to get my Etsy shop going, but I'm slowly but surely getting there. These are a couple of hand painted sketchbooks I've made recently. The loon bird stems from an old sketch and the potted plant was painted from a beautiful one I own. You should get one, a Philodendron, they keep the air in your house nice and clean! I will soon be screenprinting these guys so check back frequently for new designs, archival prints of my paintings and tote bags.
I had painted this mug months ago and thought, really, I am just painting a mug? It sat in the studio awhile, but on this Monday morning I had some inspiration!
Found this sign while walking the docks of Pete's Harbor this morning.
This Friday...I'll be in a group show at On the Corner. It's been awhile since I've shown here and it looks like an awesome crew. Should be fun. Reception from 7-11pm.
The new year's looking good with an interview on the San Jose Creatives blog and art shows at Empire Seven Studios and On the Corner. Hope you enjoy reading it!
