The Deerly Departed.

Hey there! Thanks to the Golden Spiral in Greensboro, NC I was given the opportunity to have my first solo exhibition.  I was so thrilled to be offered this chance to show my work! So this series of white charcoal drawing I lovingly call 'The Deerly Departed'.  They are a collection of 8 pieces consisting of half man, half deer creatures and their deceased counterparts.  Feel free to go by the shop and check them out or even purchase one! 
In other exciting news about these pieces, I just submitted them to the Coraddi (UNC-Greensboro art and lit magazine).  Cross your fingers that they will be in print soon!

A Hootenanny.

Over the holiday season, I decided that I was going to make some handmade postcards for my friends and family.  For the past 30 something years, my father has been known to write and illustrate his own Christmas cards.  I felt like this year I would put my own spin on his tradition.  Being a print maker, I carved a stamp into this Christmas-spirited owl you see below.  The owl is named 'Jo-Jo the Judgement Owl' and is a running joke among my friends and family.  He actually has his own Facebook fan page (http://on.fb.me/SmzKPV).  With different colors of card stock and ink on my side, I was able to make a few different versions of my feathered friend.  Everything ended up very successful and ended up sending out 40 Christmas postcards!
