some of the things you can expect to see from me. and of course some cameos of my lizards :)

black and white illustration looking down on a woman resting her head on her arms with her hair falling over. series of black and white prints of a cat and other printmaking supplies including paper and a cutting mat. woman sitting with ipad drawing a pigeon with a leopard gecko sitting on her chest. small square sketchbook with a pencil drawing of a woman huddled under a blanket with her knees drawn up and crossed in front.

my current routine of transferring my drawings onto lino before i begin to carve. and of course, all accompanied by the sounds of the city.

what would you do if the first thing you saw after putting your book down was this?

also, if anyone has read, “the bog wife”, would be interested to hear your thoughts. i liked the concept, but i’m not the best with metaphors haha

a little update on my current project! i’m super happy with the paper size, but i’m having such a hard time letting go of the little imperfections. but, i guess that’s just part of printmaking?

Six copies of a black and white illustration of a girl overlooking a balcony with a pigeon.

i drew this in treatment around this time, nearly three years ago.

i’d look out the window, watching people go about their day.

now, as i walk past, i think about what it might look like to those sitting at that same window.

it’s 3am, but there was no way i could go to sleep without doing the quickest test print!
i just had to see how this piece was progressing and to say i’m excited is an understatement.

current project i’m working on! a little ode to the sweet moments between me and one of the pigeons who like to stop by my balcony, mr. johnson.
