Hi! It’s been agesss since I’ve posted and since many exciting things have happened: 

1. I’ve had the pleasure of creating lots of custom stationary for the lovely Jolly Edition (above is a glimpse of some of the things I’ve recently worked on, more to come!)

2. I now work full time as an editorial designer for Baltimore Magazine (PS: I do sometimes get to hire illustrators aka mail me postcards of your art!!)

3. NEW(ish) BLOG- follow to check out all of the things I like looking at.

Organizing my files for the first time in ages and I've found all of these patterns I was working on 6 or 7 months ago. Top are just done in photoshop, bottom black and white patterns were done with ink on paper and then edited in order to be completely repeatable in all directions.

I am excited to pull big sheets of those guys and turn them into  a set of lil sketchbooks (maybe some big ones as wall art too. I love back and white).

sneek peeks at my skate deck for LGAL's Skate or Die show! The actual image is much longer and narrower and will be available as a print and on skate decks. 

Skate or Die is an art exhibition of artist-designed skate decks with a death metal slant. The show features dark, gorgeous, and macabre-inspired designs by sixty artists from around the world. The original artwork will be used to create limited edition, vynal images on hardwood decks.
