I am happy and proud to say that I have finally been able to work with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Kana Harris, on some artwork for her band’s (http://foreignmothers.bandcamp.com/) first LP, Duh. I can’t wait to see this once it’s all printed and official!

When I went to London…

         

Last Saturday, I returned from a three week-long trip to London, England with a small group of very talented students & three great teachers. During our stay, we somehow managed to visit with a number of artists and designers (Sir Paul Smith being one of the most notable and charming), go to almost every big art museum, explore the city AND have a successful show at a really cool gallery. I’m still a bit disoriented from it all, but I am so thankful to have experienced so many cool things. I also ended up learning a lot about myself. I feel a lot more motivated in my work and life, and I really want to strive to not push away opportunities that come my way, and to ignore my tendencies to want to procrastinate on goals I set for myself (Like reading more…agh). I look forward to learning so much more, and being open to new things!

Enough about me, though! Here. Look at some photos. Pictures are why you follow this blog, not because of my rambling introspective gobbledygook…

I have finally gotten around to photographing this painting from a few terms ago… it is based on one of the final scenes from the movie “The Truman Show”. I also just returned to the states from having been in London for 3 weeks! What a crazy, amazing experience! I will do my best to write a bit about my time there, as well as upload a few photographs from the trip in the coming week.

I’m totally wiped out… This has been the most difficult plate I’ve worked on so far. Just gotta keep going!

Sometimes I feel like my house/ where I live is a constant source of stress in my life, and I have also found this to be true for other people I know. Even though I am grateful that it provides a safe place for me to rest and work, and to keep my belongings, it is also difficult for me to leave and thus creates a lot of anxiety in my life. Other people I have spoken with have also mentioned about how they love their house, but hate the city in which they live. Or possibly, they are happy for what they have, but wish for more in a living space. The house is what keeps people rooted and secure, but it has the ability to trap and confine as well.  I’m thinking of adding more detail to this painting, but I also enjoy how simple it is right now…

Yesterday I decided to paint how my room feels at night during the winter (there’s no heating in my house). I might as well be sleeping outside…

Another weekly illustration- this time, inspired by an article about how a Wyoming legislator has introduced a “Doomsday Bill” for his state. This is the image that immediately came to mind when I read about this… after all, Wyoming is called the “Cowboy State”…

I’ve been feeling a little strange lately… so I decided to paint a strange picture. Enjoy. (This was also a nice departure from the color blue, which I have been using entirely too much lately)
