monochromatic alphabet
My entry for the 2012 Sketchbook Project. Finally, finished and mailed off. Whew!
HUGE thanks to my buddy Erin Ellis for scanning all of the artwork and saving me literally hours of color-correcting that would have been necessary had I used a camera in my low-light apartment to capture the images.

letterpress!
San Francisco Center for the Book offers an affordable ($40) three hour long get-your-feet-wet introduction class, so I jumped in. It was fun, fascinating, and the people I met who work and teach there are just great.
My first letterpress print!

a hoot of owls
Many of my friends received one of these odd-eyed little ornaments as holiday presents. If you'd like one for yourself, I have some available in my Etsy store for purchase.

Benefit Pieces: Owls & Jackalope
In the wee hours of the morning on December 1st, the apartment of a good friend of mine burned down. She and one other roommate were treated for smoke inhalation; another two roommates almost lost their lives. The majority of their belongings were destroyed.
Read a news article about it here.
Tonight, I attended an event to support and raise money for them. The following two paintings were made specifically for this occasion, to be raffled off. Both were done on found pieces of plywood.
It seemed like each of the winners loved their paintings. However!
If you (you winner, you!) are reading this and are NOT happy with your painting, I will gladly buy it back from you. My partner fell in love with both of them and was so sad that I was "giving" them away. Please contact me via email -it is on the back of your painting- if you would like to sell it back, or trade it in for something else hand made (or found!).

pie!
Not the most traditional form of art, but I'm proud of it. Turkey decoration was cut freehand. I made the filling 100% from scratch (look ma, no cans!).

| And it tastes good! |

Monster #4
aka "last-minute monster". I made this guy in the beginning of September, and can't believe how "quickly" I was able to throw him together. 11 days, but many many hours. No pattern used. He is also a hand puppet.
