Busy-ness and games

Hi there! It's been awhile since I've posted anything on my blog. That's because I've been busy working with Zipline Games illustrating iPhone games!
Also look for  scans of illustrations by Mel Crawford, Charlie Harper, Sheila Beckett and more from my collection of vintage children's books in this space.

A sneak peek on a game I have been working on:

LOVESICK show pictures!

Fantagraphics have uploaded their photos for the Bureau of Drawers LOVESICK show and it was a swell time! Great turnout and beautiful art:

Love+Water

I recently designed and illustrated a t-shirt for Love+Water, an online community that creates Wearable Philanthropy by connecting artists with charities through T-Shirt Design Projects. The charity I picked for this month is Camp Adventure, a camp for children with cancer. Any proceeds I make with the shirt will all go to Camp Adventure. Please vote for my design!

2 Valentine's Day shows!

 Art posted for two Valentine's Day shows! A feast for your sore eyes, if not your broken heart.
The Bureau of Drawers will have two Valentine’s Day inspired art shows next week! First, there will be a show on February 10th at the Cafe Racer, called “Like/Like“. From 6-9PM.
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!

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.
