After a wind storm, there laid many tree parts on the ground. While walking I picked a stick, a pine stick, thought … thank you tree I shall make a hook, a wooden hook to crochet new creations with my hand and your fallen finger.

A new friend of mine is on a fast which includes lots of fresh juices. So in honor of him I asked my dad to pull out The Champion. My parents bought The Champion (world’s finest) juicer with money given to them at their wedding . . . over 30 years ago. Carrot juice to the wintery soul and to your health. nod.

Not only is Nicholas Weaver a 3rd year Medical Student, he also writes and records music. I was honored to create a album cover for his most recent track “Falling”. Check out the site and give a listen to his super catchy tune here.

My fabulous friend Bonnie traveled overseas this year and made a sweet connection with the beautifully talented folks at FROH! Magazine from Köln, Germany. Froh translates to ‘Gladly!’ (excellent name choice). Bonnie passed along my name as a able illustrator which lead to the awesome opportunity for my first internationally published illustration! I highly recommend brushing up on your German and checking out the full magazine online here.

Some very talented friends blessed me with a visit a couple days ago. While we drank wine, watched marching bands, rode bikes at night, made salsa, swung on hammocks, sipped coffee, we also recorded over an hour of songs and sounds. Out of all that material I present to you a little jewel of a jiggle . . . “Lay Your Burdens Down”. Come on over and have a listen here. Much love to Jessica, Lucky Wilbur, and Josiah Johnson.

During my short lived yet sweet intern with Absolutely Kosher Records I cranked out this little poster for their monthly ‘Happy Hour’ promotional. I’d been wanting to incorporate that line illustration for sometime. I feel much better now.

my dear friend ilah was gifted a collection of stain glass supplies and kindly invited me over to play. Stain glass windows fascinated me as a child in the old church buildings I visited and today that fascination continues strong. So say so long to only building having fun, put on a pair of stain glass glasses and unlock a little wonder.
