Green Skeleton
Festa invite
One of the organizations I’ve been lucky enough to teach for in Seattle is Arts Corps. I drew this invitation for their annual fundraiser, La Festa del Arte, a few years ago.
Illustrated letters
From 2007 to 2010 I illustrated reader letters and comments as a regular feature for The Stranger. This one was written to the paper by someone who attended the last call at the first incarnation of the Pony, a fabulously grimy bar in Capitol Hill. My idea was to draw the letter as if it had been created with the detritus left by patrons on the floor of the bar. See more via the link below:
Ozzfest 2005
I drew this comic report on Ozzfest for The Stranger in 2005. In 2007, a corporate sponsorship allowed for free admittance to the day-long concert; it hurt my brain to try to imagine what the crowd would look like without the hurdle of having to scrape together $35.
The Kiss-a-thon
This comic was commissioned by a friend as a present for her wife (who’s a die-hard “I Love Lucy” aficionado) on her 33rd birthday.
Daze
I drew this watercolor of spaced-out birds last year & then promptly misplaced it. If I don’t find it in my apartment during spring cleaning, I’ve at least still got this scan.
Off Hours poster
I did this poster, for Lacey Henson’s quarterly reading series, The Off Hours, back in 2010. The “high concept” here, which I’m not sure comes through completely, is that it’s a drawing of the inside of a room where someone, possibly the artist, has written all the info for the event. I like how this one turned out, with the exception of my failure to make the writing on the gourds look three-dimensional.
Doodle list
On most days, I do a random sketch along with a short list of what I’m supposed to do the following day. (It often turns into an inventory of the stuff that I didn’t actually get done, but that’s another story.) Usually I just toss these away, but there’s something I like about the expressions on these fruit picnickers that’s made me hang on to this one.
In Yr Shoes
Last year I drew a bunch of comics and illustrations for stories about shoes, which appeared on a blog created by Margot Case. We’re no longer doing these, but the stories and drawings are archived at inyrshoes.wordpress.com.
