Woohoo! My Travelin’ Eye is out! It’s a real book, hard bound and all. Hee. hee. It’s so surreal. I still remember the day my editor left the message on my machine. She called the day she got my dummy to say she wanted to publish it. I kept that message for almost 2 years [...]

This was a really fun job I finished before I went to Hawaii. It’s a 35 x 12 inch poster design (front/back) for Hillside’s annual report. They wanted it to have a kid-like spirit (since Hillside is a family agency) and for it to celebrate their programs’ proven success. Also, Believing is seeing. Visions [...]

i’ve been a little overwhelmed lately looking at my “list”. sometimes i feel like it’s a little absurd, or a slightly neurotic, because it’s all over the place. so much i want to do, and so few hours in a day…paint, printmaking class, write, freelance jobs, commissions, update my website, teach myself more web-coding, add [...]
