"LOOT" tote bags! Get them for $15 from me at SPX!

They're perfect for holding your zines, your sketchbooks, magazines, or LP's. These were screen-printed by the great fellows at Pizza Party Printing in Baltimore. 

If you play today’s ultra-sweet Google Doodle Global Candy Cup, you can see my illustrations when you beat the game with the witch of your choice! I created the share images that you can post on Facebook or Twitter. You can also read about the personalities and quirks of each character here!

It was a lot of fun to work with their adorable character designs and to have a chance to flex my hand-lettering muscles. The game was designed by Sophie Diao, who also created all the assets, and animated by Nate Swinehart. Engineering by Ariel Lee, Maura Fitzgerald, Kris Hom, and Corrie Scalisi. Music and sound effects by Aivi & Surasshu. Thanks to my ADs Sophie Diao and Liat Ben-Rafael for including me in this super fun project!

Go play it! It’s pretty dang charming.

Here's a poster design for an upcoming showing of The Neverending Story here in Baltimore hosted by Pizza Party Printing. It's gonna be so much fun and y'all wish you could be there! & by that I mean I wish you could be there ♥

It's really sweet to see my Alphabirds in the little hands of little kids. I hope she likes her new bird letter friends! You can buy prints of my Alphabirds and other children's-themed artwork at The Littlest Mammoth.

Fantastic Tales II from Scout Books' Good Ink: American Shorts series just came out, and it features the short story I illustrated last year, "The Isle of Voices" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Other mini books in the set are "The Giant's Heart" by George MacDonald, illustrated by Lark Pien; and "Mowgli's Brothers" by Rudyard Kipling, illustrated by Rebecca Dart. This was a lot of fun to work on, and I loved the story I got assigned. Thanks to editor François Vigneault for including me in the series!

You can pick up the Fantastic Tales II set for $12 and check out all the other Good Ink: American Shorts sets from Scout Books here. All are illustrated beautifully by many talented artists and come in nicely-packaged mini-book form. They're all great little classics that are definitely worth revisiting.

Bat boy!

This little cutie was the subject of another gouache demo given to illustration students at MICA. He's the finish of this work-in-progress shot.

I love him...

I painted this skater babe for a demo in Kali Ciesemier's lifestyle illustration class. Fun!

Got to.

It's been awhile since I've updated, but I'm really looking forward to this year and everything I have lined up to work on. I'll be participating in some very exciting (to me and my nerd self at least) exhibitions soon, and I have a compilation zine in the works which I'm psyched to get started on/spreading the word about as well.

Stay tuned all!

have some? ask some.
