A couple of panels from The understanding Monster, book two that I finished today.

Heart Shaped Brain

Here's a little piece I made for the "Love me, love me not" show at the Von Common here in Missoula. The Show reception is from 6-10 on Friday the 1st. It will be an evening of readings, performances, art, and fermented liquids. Should be a fun time!

The Snake Train Spirits

 This is a long piece I just made on a curving piece of wood for the annual Chinese NewYears group show at Giant Robot Gallery that opens on the evening of February 2nd in Los Angeles. Bring on the year of the Snake!

inspiration collection

I recently decided to turn my tumblr site into a space where I collect art and imagery that feel personally important to me. I've always wanted to be better at documenting the things that keep me inspired and excited, and this feels like a good way to do it. This is a Kwakiutl Bear dancer photographed in 1914 by Edward Curtis in British Columbia.

I finally have copies available on my Etsy Shop! Each copy comes signed with a small original drawing inside.

afternoon drawing storm

I had a little down time this afternoon, so I decided to start an Art Zine. I haven't self-published anything in a few years, and I'm excited to get back into it. I'm also slowly working on a number of new woodcuts, which should make their way to my Etsy shop soon.

This is a little original I've got up for sale in my Etsy Shop.

Anasazi study

Years back I was hiking in Southern Utah and saw this painting left by the Anasazi indians up on the cliffs in the distance. I decided to climb up to them and get a closer look. The figures turned out to be as tall as me. This is one of the photographs I took that day. I recently drew directly on top of a color copy of it as a way to study the shapes. Sometimes drawing feels like it's an extension of my sense of touch. Drawing on top of images I want to get to know better helps me find a way inside, so I can understand it in my own way. This drawing is pinned up in my studio.
