Solo show is not until February 2028, but paintings take time, and it’s a big space to fill. Cutting panels to size for a series that I’m planning for the heart of the show.

Been gathering work for a show @fortpointarts.bsky.social curated by @karlstevensart.bsky.social & found drafts of 1st pages of “Gulls” from “Pleading with Stars”. 1st is plain ink, then gouache/colored pencil/vellum. I ❤️ it, but vellum scans poorly. Used watercolor in final. (See cut out panel)

I haven’t been sharing much art lately, because I’m trying to protect delicate young ideas. But this I think is safe enough.
