One of My Favorites

She came out of my pencil one day and has been cooing in my ear ever since.
I can't tell you why I love her. Only know that she's everything glamorous, pathetic, regal and sloppy that my cream-filled center is made out of.

For Emily

I hope she's already received this in the mail.
If not, SURPRISE!

El Everything

I made this for an assignment titled : Hinge- Metaphorical or Literal. While I respect what my teacher was trying to do, I am not easily lead to conceptual waters. I'd rather make a beautiful, useful thing. Go to industrial design school, you say. Well, I would but I'm tired and I think I've used up all my transfer points by now.

This bag is huge so I call it Tutto which means everything in Italian.

Lurk

The story of this book is of a man wandering along until he stumbles upon a tree made of legs. As the vellum fog lifts, he imagines all the fabulous things he could do with these legs until his head starts to spin with visions of limbs.
The final page shows the man lurking off with a stash.

I believe this book still needs text, otherwise my story is lost. I hate to ruin a good picture with words so i am trying to think of a telling title or words to place in the tabs along the way.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

How To Get Where You're Already Going

This is a project I did about getting out of your own way.

Something I'm trying to get better at.

It was made pretty quick which I find yields most exciting results.
The less time to refine yourself the better.

Leaders On Leisure

Here you have the beginnings of a silly and slightly off-color project.
Britt Madden and I plan on illustrating a total of 18 leaders to create a colorful letterpress book. Hopefully by the end of the summer we'll have a small edition for sale.
Even bad people need a vacation.
