Talking to Myself

I started this drawing at a drink and draw with the Wonder Team gang, I've changed it a bit since, and colored it in... I think I'm gonna go buy some new pants.

Print Swap with Almost Monday!

I met Serena a while back at one of the many portland craft shows. She's a fellow print maker who loves doing linocut prints, and she's also an amazing portraiture painter. She's know on the web as AlmostMonday We've been talking via twitter pretty much ever sense and we met up this weekend briefly for a print exchange. I swapped one of my Bee Scarfs and a Penguin Pocket Notebook for a set of bicycle themed hand pulled linocut prints.

I'm super excited to have these prints, and if you wanna grab some you should really check out her shop, there's plenty of awesome prints there that I'm sure you'd love. Thanks Almost Monday for the awesome work, if anyone else is interested in swapping some prints or art, let me know!

Wiegh In

This is the first post from my new Comic group, The Wonder Team. I'll be posting a weekly comic there on Fridays, that in most cases won't be posted here. There's also three other great Portland Artist who are posting there, Eriq Nelson, Seyoung Yeo ( who organized this effort) and Melissa Dalluhn. It's a great group, and I'm happy to be contributing along with them, so be sure to check it ( and them ) out!

Asleep at the Airport

I don't have many drawings of Laura and I, mostly because I always felt my doodles of her never did her justice. I found this doodle in an old sketch book as I was looking for some paper to do some drawing on. Last year around this time we traveled to Texas together, and then from there we went to NYC to attend a friend of mines wedding.

While we waited for our plane from Dallas to NYC she cuddled up and fell asleep on me. And there was something in that moment that made me feel loved, trusted and depended on like I hadn't before and so I wanted to capture that feeling. Finding this drawing now is a mixed bag for me. I'm glad I captured this moment, cause it's one I want to remember, it's just not one I want to remember right now.
