Let’s help more
April 3, 2018
Let’s give what we can: time, encouragement, money, and love.
For those who have much and are still cranky and upset for some unknowable reason, it’s probably because you’re not doing enough for others.
Changing someone else’s sense of what’s possible, changes your own.

Handrawn social media portraits vs. bitmojis
February 16, 2018
Does your #bitmoji express the real you (even with 1.9 septillion options)?
Not in my books.
Hand-drawn #portraits catch the flutter of your spirit and reveal your hidden strengths way better than the frozen stare of digitized art.
Email me if you’re looking for an illustrated social media profile picture. Because creativity is a part of everyone’s job description today. — P.S. I could even make you a #superhero!

There, I’m done shilling.

Homemade brush holder
February 10, 2018
My brushes kept rolling off my desk. Then I remembered that old salt dough recipe from First Grade, and I baked a brush holder! In this sketch, it’s Joe Shuster, co-creator of #Superman.
Most Americans don’t realize Superman sprung from a Canadian brain. But it makes sense to us. We’re quiet, we’re strong, and we have eachother’s backs — all the qualities that Clark Kent and Superman have.
America would never have created such a bland, straight arrow.

Sixties style
January 1, 2018
In this New Year’s Instagram Trunk Show, I’m modelling a tunic from Pierre Cardin’s Cosmocorps Collection from 1967.
Monsieur Cardin turns 96 this July.
I hope he still gets a charge from a needle pulling thread like I do from his space age designs and those kooky sixties model poses.
