The WIPs and snippets of the final paintings for a couple of furry portraits. 

You can see the finals on my website.

Or if you’re a local, you can check them out at Lee’s Summit City Hall for a short time!

I attended Dr. Sketchy's the other weekend for the first time. It was awesome and pretty much kicked my ass. Thanks Joe for the invite!

Hey, so I was playing Animal Crossing today and Kidd the goat showed me a letter you wrote him like 3 years ago. I find it endearing that he still remembers you.

This is the sweetest thing ever. 🐐❤️

Sorry for the radio silence. June and July were totally lost amidst a bevy of health problems and now August currently has me replanting my roots, so to speak. 100days project suffered from it but will be picking back up soon.

So now here I have two nostalgic treasures from my younger years that didn’t make the moving cut: My Guns N’ Roses sweatshirt that I have worn to tatters, and an old pair of skateboarding shoes that carried me throughout college. 

Thanks all for listening and I hope the remainder of the summer finds you well.

A ship in a bottle is still a message, right? https://instagram.com/p/2Fi_DjO2-7/

I can now safely say I have drawn a ship in a bottle.

A spread from the 2015 Sketchbook Project book Mountains that I submitted to the Brooklyn Art Library. This was my fourth sketchbook project that I participated in.

Two books I made recently; the first one is coptic stitch with a handpainted cover, and the second is a casewrap moleskine-esque book. Both made with 70lb drawing paper. 

[stephillo]

Little illustrations to accompany a pamphlet I made about coptic stitch. I then coerced helped a couple of my friends make some books of their own, which was a lot of fun.

Some words to get us through the week.
