This is what I’ve made: 2
I’m in the middle of development for a lot of my current projects. Which means I have a lot of ugly undeveloped projects. Here’s look at all of them. Creating things is a whole lot of ugly before the beauty.

This is Uku the ukulele playing robot, and Murt the painter. I have made a few comics with them that I haven't shared yet. Basically they're space hippies spreading good vibes and creativity amongst the stars.

This is 10 years of making art!
I organized everything I have ever created. And stored over 700 items into a box. But I have way more that can't fit in a box. I estimate I have made over 1000 creations from sticky note doodles to a big mural.

I’m experimenting with adding color to my prints. This flower print is part of my upcoming print series, and I added some light water color to the flowers. I want it to be subtle and pastel like. And I can’t decide if they should all be colored or not. What do you prefer?

#prints #artwork #flowers

Four flowers form glacier national park. Printed with linoleum block and ink. With light watercolors painted onto the print.

The same flowers but only black and white.
For more context the flowers are a penstemon, arrow leaf, forget-me-not, and lastly a bear grass.

Rat Trap - Wood Block Print

I made a print about rats trying to steal some cheese. I really like this print, and I need to make some more narrative illustrations like this one! Good art needs a story after all.

#rats #cheese #rattrap #artwork #reliefprint #printmaker #storytelling #illustration

A group of rats huddle around a rat trap. The closest rat slowly reach’s out to snatch the cheese! The scene is black and white with dramatic lighting. illuminated by one lamp from above. This print is a wood block relief print.

Gnome relief print. This is a reductive relief print. That means the original “matrix” or block got systematically carved away.

Some design work for my design class. We had make three covers and recreate a book or series. So I chose 1984 and bade the covers after parts of the story. The graphics are hand drawn and digitally colored in photoshop. And designed in illustrator.
