THIS SATURDAY 1/28: SWING ON BY PEOPLE'S GALLERY! COME SAY HI!

The article I wrote for Art Practical, Bookishness: A Conversation on Bay Area Book Arts, has been published.

In it, Nance O'Banion, Jaye Fishel and I discuss the role of book arts in the community and how it relates to history, conceptualizing ideas and the influence of online culture, among other things.

The article was written for Art Practical's Printed Matter Issue. Each article in this issue presents a fascinating mode of print culture which I feel particularly proud and excited to have contributed to.

READ ALL ABOUT IT! HERE.

Brown Paper Bag is a blog curated by Sara E. Barnes. Back in December she did a feature on my work. I am a big fan of their website, so this was a great surprise! Check it out.

Around The World Zine takes you to a new place throughout several locations during the day.

Come to the Colpa Press pop-up shop at WIRE+NAIL Gallery. Friday, December 16th from 6pm-9pm.

I will be selling my NEW zine *pics to come soon* and assorted small originals. There is going to be tons of great work for sale and the shop will remain intalled through the weekend.

Check out my interview on Ldn. A blog by my super-talented friend Madeleine, which chronicles her daily adventures, culinary feats, and awesome life in London.

Congratulations to 826 Seattle for being one of 12 organizations to receive the 2011 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, awarded by Michelle Obama.

A very long time ago I illustrated the spaceship for the logo. So, not only is it awesome to see an organization that helps the community be rewarded for their hard earned work - I am also tickled at the thought of Michelle Obama seeing work I drew. Michelle is one cool lady!
