music! pela, crystal castles, beatbeat whisper, ghost bees, the crooked still..... i love it. and i've quit my three part-time/freelance gigs so i'm down to one full-time job and that's it- yayyyyyyyy! meaning i have time for art and bicycles .....maybe i'll start up my etsy shop again.

these are some photos i took in mexico w/ my holga.

a page from my notebook..... when i worked at levi's i'd head into sf around 6am and sit in a coffee shop and draw for two hours or so before work. birds, guns, bicycles are my fave subjects....

jesse's band 'these united states' based in washington d.c....

a collage style that started with letters to b. and turned into something much more. it is my wintertime project. when the sun goes down and the rains come i'll page through my used picture books again. collaging in this way is my truest love but i'm so easily distracted....

c. brought home some of her kindergartners' valentines for me. the munchkins create some lovely pieces (thanks sam!)

this is the first real drawing i've done in a long time....

i drew it knowing that a few pieces later my style and interests would do a 180- they always do. it'd be nice to be consistent for once in my life!

i drew this machine gun at the monster drawing rally and someone bought it yay!!!! and then i drew it again for a sweet girl who wanted it but didn't draw the right straw (or however soex decides who buys what). anyway, it's an uzi.

shooting spires is my favorite one man band!!!!! unfortunately he's based in brooklyn and won't be crossing the mississippi for a long while yet. boo.

i drew this for c.'s birthday.... as i waited in muddy waters to see 'a place to bury strangers'

this is one of my favorites, i could put that bird anywhere.

lili! welllll i dated jt for about 3 years many years ago. we moved apart but i kept in touch with his family... i knitted lili a little wristband for xmas one year- mark just sent me a pic of her (about 5 years later?) still wearing it! she's making her own zines now. adorable.

love on wheels

a poster design i submitted to the SFBC (san francisco bicycle coalition). they've simplified it a lot and made it a black and white print but will still use it as their "love on wheels" promotional flyer- yay! i love these little side art projects.....

one of the illustrations i'm silkscreening onto patches. i heart my bicycle.
