Next on February 12th at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery will feature the Bureau of Drawers' “Lovesick” show for the 3rd annual Georgetown Art Attack in Seattle (from 6-9PM). Below is my new painting for the group show! I am looking into making prints of both works and have them available for the show. I'll keep you updated on this blog!

Empty Bowls

I hang out with a group of talented artists called the Bureau of Drawers. It's a Seattle based drawing group that hang out at a local watering hole called the Cafe Racer. Recently we all help paint unfired clay bowls for the Seattle chapter of Empty Bowls. Here's their mission statement:

Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.

Below are two of the bowls I painted. Check out their Facebook page for more photos! Empty Bowls will be holding an auction of the bowls on February 27th at the Ballard Community Center.

New painting - Smokey the Cockatiel

I recently painted a small illustration for an upcoming Bureau f Drawers Valentine's Day art show at the Cafe Racer on February 12th. The theme is "Like/Like" so I chose a pet from when I was a child that was given to me for my 5th birthday, a cockatiel I named Smokey. I adored that bird! I miss him and here he is depicted in bird paradise:
