New Job!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be teaching Drawing again. I will begin teaching at Olympic College in Bremerton WA January 3rd 2011. I am very excited to be a part of the art program at OC and to share my passion with students, faculty and the community at large!

Too Much Good News

I am so blessed that I really haven't had time to blog. I've got a pretty sweet drawing in the works, messing around writing a song (or two), working (and finding more work as a teacher again!), preparing for another Parlour Room show, and spending time with my wonderful family and friends. So much to be thankful for!

South M

There's usually a lot of compromise with murals, and this one was certainly no exception. It was already weird before I introduced Sasquatch into the picture and maybe I just pushed it over the edge. But overall it was fun and I thank everyone that contributed in the craziness that took place on South M Street in Tacoma.

Mo' Mural

Today we started painting a mural at 35th and South M Street in Tacoma. Feel free to drive by and honk at us. Oh, and please wait until we're finished before you start tagging it.

Tacoma Murals

The city of Tacoma's Community Based Mural Program has selected me and a bunch of other artists to work together with the community to help clean up vandalism and vulgar graffiti with murals. I helped paint this mural at the Portland Ave Community Center in Tacoma, WA. I specifically worked on the turtle's with wings, despite my opposition to the obvious Nintendo Super Mario Brothers' Flying Turtles reference. (I just think that killer turtles that hunt Mario and his brother Luigi might undercut the positive message of hope and unity. Although, I guess it shows that even flying killer turtles can set aside their differences and let a girl with antlers ride them in a peaceful utopia). At any rate, it's been a fun experience working along side a bunch of talented artists.

Open Mic at Parlour Room Gallery

That's where I'll be.

Good To See You

The opening of Good To See You at Parlour Room Gallery is this Friday, July 23.

If you bring a can of food for the Puyallup Food Bank, you'll be entered to win one of my drawings.
