Yesterday Judah told me my drawings are too dark. I couldn’t figure out which kind of dark he was talking about. Too much ink? Too much gloom? I appreciate his criticism either way. Here’s a dark bird from the sketch pile.

This is a screenshot of that moment when you click or unclick a few choice layers in Photoshop to reveal just how much you've been hacking away at the thing, but you kinda like this raw version more. #wip #process

Here's another piece of art I made for @lindseylynott. I reused the same pattern I designed for my own quilt. Of course this one had to match those rad yellow lamps!

Images found in a TIME-LIFE book called "SOUND". I inherited a whole set of these from @erikmkistel. Had no idea the pre-cut (some assembly required) collage was included in the deal. Let me know if you or @post_studio needs any of these back! 😝

I got a chance to see @alliboomboom play nearly every song off this album Friday night at @bluewhalemusic. I did this cover art a while back. Sooo happy to see it in print now. Sounds great @royalpotato !

Just got a few copies of "River Runs Deep" from the publisher #Atheneum. I did this cover last year for Simon & Schuster Kids (@simonteen). Great book by Jennifer Bradbury. Art direction-Michael McCartney.
