Sunday, September 16th, 2007 Thursday night began with me smooching a velvet portrait of Elvy that was hanging above my friends’ kitchen table in their St. Marks pad. Hello, handsome!

New York: Nubby Birthday! The Big 2-6
Friday, September 14th, 2007
Today, I turned 26. I have a weird fear of getting old, so celerbrating in New York with friends has become a yearly tradition; it’s way more fun than sitting home in Portland thinking, “Ahhh, what am I doing with my life?!!” Auntie took me to Magnolia Bakery in the West Village and bought me […]
New York: September 12th and 13th, 2007
Friday, September 14th, 2007Wednesday morning was spent in Greenwich Village; some of the apartments have ‘half addresses’ (such as 429 1/2) and many are mini-sized structures. So cute! On one of the side streets, I spied this amazing residence tucked behind an iron gate: I also visited the Meatpacking District for the first time — though it’s now overrun with fancy boutiques, […]

New York: September 11th, 2007
Friday, September 14th, 2007
Auntie Nubs and I arrived in New York Tuesday morning — we took the Air Train from the airport to the subway instead of the $45.00 flat rate cab into Manhattan. If you’re not in a rush and your luggage isn’t too heavy, the $7.00 fare is a great way to go, though with multiple transfers on […]
Daily Outfit: 9.11.07
Thursday, September 13th, 2007I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. Our hotel room near Union Square is in a basement, meaning the internet and cell phone reception is terrible. Alas, we’ve christened it ‘The Bunker.’ To make matters worse, there is no functioning window, meaning that it is impossible to tell what time of day it […]
Black & White Graphic Insight: Footloose and Fancy Free
Monday, September 10th, 2007Footloose and Fancy Free, 2007
Collage, ink, paint, resin on wood
11 x 17 inches
This is another of the three new pieces I’ve recently finished for Black & White Graphic Insight. I really like the pink accents, which feels odd to say (I’m usually not into pink at all!) Still packing, working on one VERY last-minute art call, […]
The Big Apple
Sunday, September 9th, 2007
Hello Everyone,I am off to New York and will be on vacation from September 11th-22nd. I will still have internet access and my phone, though if you need to get in contact, it’s best to email me. New York and I have a lot of history; this is my seventh trip in six years. I’ve […]
Black & White Graphic Insight: Dark Hours
Friday, September 7th, 2007Dark Hours, 2007
Collage, ink, paint, resin on wood
11 x 17 inches
I’ve been working on new art slowly but surely. This is piece bears similarities to some previous work I’ve done, but I wanted to create it on a larger scale and add more detail with a fuller body shot. I’m also working on adding in more […]
Vampire’s Kiss Necklace
Thursday, September 6th, 2007
I am not a vampire, but I do have baby fangs that people seem to comment on quite often. Red lips and fangs, how can you go wrong with a necklace like this?! I was in IKEA the other day and a lady nearly fell over trying to get a good look at it. It’s […]

Another Day at the Office.
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007In late June, I was contacted by a band out of Chicago called Office on New Line / Scratchie Records to develop some comps for their upcoming album. I enjoy client work; it pushes my boundaries and I always learn something new during the design process. Depending on the project, I usually combine a […]
