Negative space

I saw this walking to the bus this morning. 

Entirely too fitting for the day it turned out to be.

DIY prints

Feeling crafty and inspired by Yellow Owl Workshop's stamping style, I've started hand-printing stationary. I made stamps out of junk on my desk: a Pearl eraser, twine, and ink. It's messy and I love it.

Every day I'm stipplin'

Craft fairs are a wonderful place to find inspiration.

Or, if you're crazy like me, your head will start spinning with anxiety over all the projects you feel like revisiting and reworking (e.g. this stippled Snailbert Shrinky Dink). He needs reworking because his weird Snailbert shape is too awkward to wear on a necklace, so for the past few months he's been squirming around on my desk without a home or purpose. Sigh.

​So, my solution to satisfy my post craft fair anxiety…digitize my illustration and have a Snailbert party! \o/ \o/ \o/

This day in art history

But let me remind you that I'm in San Francisco. So replace the posh black umbrellas with rainbows or some kind of fabulous fluro colored headgear.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Guys.

The turkey went missing this year (again).

We can't find that bird anywhere.

Sorry (again).
