pencil, ink, pins, houseflies (under plexi, hence the mediocre photo) 12″x12″
So, I colored the ink drawing from a couple of posts earlier, and the formatting and design finish was completed by Natasha Shallbetter. Enjoy!
David Waters finalized the poster for our upcoming show. Check out his gallery, his work is top-notch.
…since I haven’t posted lately. I’ve been working on making frames and getting plexiglass cut for the upcoming thesis exhibition. Also cutting more flowers!
Great news! I’m doing some more work with the Lilac City Roller Girls out of Spokane, which means: more drawings of badass roller girls! Ink on bristol, yet to be colored. This is meant to be loosely based off of this Hack Slash cover.
Pencil and sumi on watercolor paper, 17″x20″. This one is about the story of Rapunzel, the power and sexuality associated with hair, and the act of cutting: transition, renewal, and transformation.
Pencil and Sumi on watercolor paper, 17″x20″.
pencil, sumi and watercolor on watercolor paper, 17″x20″. These last two I meant to leave open to interpretation, but the responses I’ve gotten so far have been unintentionally sexual!
Charcoal, sumi, printmaking ink and thread on unprimed canvas… around 3.5′ x 4.5′. Freckles, stars, myth-making and interconnectedness.
Water-soluble pencil, sumi, and acrylic on unprimed canvas. About 3.5′x4.5′. Again with the stars, this time with fireflies, the briefness of their lifespans – you can see them dying and falling off at the bottom. With the stars dripping off of her body I was reminded of the only organisms on the planet who not only survive but actually thrive on hydrochloric acid, deep in caves, and output light…. so basically this piece is about glowing bugs and stars.
Water-soluble pencil, sumi and cut-out fabric flowers on unprimed canvas, about 4′x5′. This one I still feel is in a bit of a chrisis. I liked the figure drawing (except for the foot) before I started gluing the flowers on, and now it seems quite overdone, somehow. Maybe it’s the excessiveness of the pink, and maybe I’ve just spent too much time staring at it. Either way, I’m calling it done for now.
This one’s still in progress, there will be more flowers. Sumi and cut-out flowers on unprimed canvas, 4′x5′.
There’s only a month left before our senior show goes up – I’m so excited!

And here as a Threadless design!
Hmmmm. No comment, although I do think they’re adorable.
An interpretation of coffee and tea, left and right, respectively. Although they both sort of turned into hippie-hipster earth loving girls who dress eccentrically.
So… here’s a typical ‘edgy’ Suicide Girl…
And Mary from the Queen Mary Tea Room, where I was fortunate enough to be able to work while going to school in Seattle.
