fun summer read
I was initially drawn to it by the cover photo as I am such a sucker for a book cover. In college I worked at stock photo agency and a lot of the images we pulled were for book covers. Anyhow, it was a fun peek into the art world, and a nice easy summer read.
um, wow…
These are amazing. Simple material using delicate technique translated into an incredible result.

a few more originals….
A few new originals just made their way to my etsy store. These are larger at 18″x18″ on birch wood panel.
Originals
Phew! Yesterday I took down one show and hung another. I now have some paintings down at Little Urbanites in the Pearl District. So I am adding several originals to my etsy shop. I have more I plan to add later in the week. Also for good measure, there is a new print! Enjoy! Oh, I have a few things coming up this week so any ordersplaced after today won’t ship until the11th

happy weekend!
sorry for so little posting, i’ve got projects coming out the ears! If you’re in the Portland area, I will be at Urban Outfitters (23rd ave. location) tomorrow (saturday) with many prints and possibly a few originals. UO is having a benefit for the Oregon food bank with many Portland artists in the store selling their wares as well as a performance by local band Archeology.

I have some new paintings nearing completion, I will share more soon!
new kindred
A new batch of lovely desktop wallpapers are now available over at kindred! I’m loving these two by Alicia Bock and Traci French.
Currently obsessed with
the art of Nicole Poko since seeing it the other day over at design milk. She freezes paint and then lets it melt, creating beautiful abstract paintings. I was so enamoured, that I immediately went and froze some paint. Then I let the kids go to town placing their paint ice cubes where they may. The melting process was really fascinating, we all had fun watching their pieces change. I think we are framing and giving to grandpa for father’s day this weekend.
Monday, monday
The days are beginning to blend together now that we don’t have a school schedule to follow. Luckily, J has the week off, so I’m trying to get lots done while I have the chance. With father’s day orders to finish, I definitely needed the help. I also added some new prints to the shop this morning, so please take a look!

playground
Last year I was contacted by an amazing woman finishing up work on a documentary called The Playground. It is about the heavy and shocking, but neccesary, topic of the trafficking of children for commercial sexual exploitation. I lent some of my art to the marketing of this film that is debuting this week at the Tribecca Film Festival. The film features the artwork of the amazing Yoshitomo Nara, and is the first time he has allowed his work to be animated. Which brings me to the reason I am heading to New York in a few days. As a way to continue to bring awareness to this topic, the Nest foundation was created. In benefit of it, a gala with a silent auction featuring art from Jeff Koons, Joanne Greenbaum, Todd DiCurcio and one of my paintings is being held. I am beyond excited (and humbled and terrified) to be featured next to these amazing artists. You can go here to learn more about Playgrond and Nest.
