I realized I haven’t really “introduced” myself here, and I’m still navigating downloading everything from the other🙄 place, so here’s my face a bunch of times starting in 1996.
(I’m turning 45 soon, which makes that first photo 30 years ago. 📟💾📼📜👵🏻.)

Still am for the right clients ;)

This is a quick 100% unplanned watercolor sketch I did on a piece of copy paper after reading #steinbeck ‘s Wayward Bus.
It turned out to actually be one of my favorite pieces🤷🏻♀️
