And we’re living it right now.

Here’s why: (more…)

These pieces are about the five senses. And also love. For my illustration class!

I really like the idea of ‘home’. Going home, or finding a home. I think it’s always been an important theme in my work. I like drawing houses because of all the things they represent.

This series is about my home, and all the things I love/loved about being at home (in Wyandotte).

I was recently asked to be in a bike poster show at The Bikery . The theme of the show is Local/Euro: european-inspired cycling posters. Super exciting!

I decided that I wanted to screen print my posters, which turned out to be quite a challenge (I haven’t screen printed in about 4 years). But thanks to my good buddy Lucas of MouseSaw, it went well! He seriously is the nicest guy ever, and totally made the whole thing possible. DEFINITELY check out his work too, he is a master!

I don’t have pictures of the final yet, but here’s my photoshop file:

I didn’t manage to mix these colors, but the background is orange and the linework is a darkdark brown. I think it looks somewhat vintage/european. Mostly because I based it off this poster HERE.

I really like the simplicity of the image, and thought the typography was nice. As you can see, I was VERY inspired by it. I like the modernized figure though. Rolled up pants and a sweet tank top! The cap is a little throwback I suppose.

PRINTS WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE! I only got about 30 solid prints, so a very limited run! I’ll take some real life pictures soon.

I meow’d this meow meow and meow meows and meowed them to meow the ultimate Meow Meow Meow!!!

Space belly rubs! Genencor will always be my hero, I dream that one day he will sweep me off my feet and take me away to the suburbs of the late 60s were he can be a retired space cat, and I, his wife space human.

But they are ALWAYS such cute boys. Look at all of the these pictures I have amassed this past couple of weeks.

Ouch.

Chance I saw a bumper sticker that made me think of you today.

If you’ve ever been in any sort of touristy situation with me, than you’ve no doubt been embarrassed by my technique of canvasing the entire area with pictures and not deleting any of them (even the blurry ones). I even partake in the oh-so-nerdy process of take picture -> rotate 30 degrees -> take picture -> rotate 30 degrees -> etc. Well, today all the awkwardness pays off because I’ve finally found a software which turns my pieces of panoramas into panoramas. I went through the last 5 years of panorama-shots this morning and picked out and stitched together the good ones. It’s all extremely automatic, which is awesome. The software is Microsoft Image Composite Editor by Microsoft Research. Free, but Windows Only!

(many) more after the break!
