ORANGUTAN

My friend suggested I add the lipstick to this picture. I love how it instantly transforms a pretty normal primate painting into something quite strange and creepy.

ART WALK

I displayed my art as part of the First Friday Art Walk in Nevada City. I was showing in a chocolate shop, which sounded like a bad fit to me, but as soon as I saw my work in that setting I realized it made perfect sense. My long running drive to paint with neon and pastels, and as much bright pink as I can fit in a picture made it go really well in a candy setting.


This was my most successful art show yet. I sold five paintings and lined up two potential sales in the future. I also sold a couple graphic novels and a dozen or so zines. I really appreciated how well this all went, and have no complaints! Also I received the greatest backhanded compliment of my life: 'oh, your art looks just like my 11 year old's!'
At this event I also premiered a new mini zine my friend Pat and I made together.  It has four titles and is about a boy and a frog. good stuff.

DESERT DWELLER

My first two page spread! From a comic I made years ago. I was long unsatifised with the printing quality, so I'm making some digital corrections to send it off to the printer for another run of copies.
