recent wood blocks.

Here are some recent wood block drawings. I've been trying to keep a good amount of these on hand, even though I've been slacking on doing much with them. The Icon Tattoo Holiday fair was pretty successful, though for as low as I priced the drawings, they didn't sell as well as I thought they would. These drawings are all for sale, so email me if you're interested. I'll take 20 for the smaller ones, 40 for the larger ones, including shipping.

Still taking orders for 10 dollar drawings on paper, although I'm finally all caught up, a first this year, with no new orders coming in during the last few days. Going to waste time drawing a bunch of random stuff for fun, so drop me a line if you want a drawing- you'll probably get it pretty quickly!

Also, I finally added an FAQ and an ABOUT ME! section, read up if you're curious. And, as always, photos are clickable and will take you to my flickr page, where you can ooh and aah over my totally boring daily life, where I hang out with my 3 year old, doodle, and take photos of shit inside my house. Hope everyone had an awesome holiday! I probably won't update til after the new year. <3

dragonflies

this is a gift for someone. IF YOU KNOW ME, AND YOU THINK THIS IS FOR YOU... you might be right. sneaky sneaky.







I've been a huge fan of Dover publications ever since my high school boyfriend, who was a massive literature nerd, showed me all the dollar poetry collections. I still have my copy of The Wasteland, Matt! Haw haw. Is that creepy? Uh... anyway. My tattoo artist, who is also a friend, showed me this book he had that was just a Dover published book of victorian illustrations, it was awesome. I ended up buying the same book. The other day I was a the library and they had a whole buttload of them, there was a cool one with flying machine illustrations, one with crazy creatures, one with tons of insects, all of them totally my bag. I actually recognized a lot of the insect images as some of the copyright-free images I've snagged off of google for reference in my insect collages. ANYWAY. I'm trying to get better about referencing the material without outright copying the images (even though there are no legal conundrums, it just feels kinda stupid). I thought these dragonflies came out pretty cool, anyway.

I've been working primarily on wood for the last few weeks (it's fun! it looks rad!), but drawings on paper are, as always, still available.

cryptozoology, vacuum tubes, peony.

i found a small box of old charcoal & conte crayons from when i was a painting/drawing major, like 10 years ago. i'm going to have fun using them again, i think.
