long time, no see?

well, hellooo there! it has been a hot minute, hasn't it?  i've just been in hawaii, no big deal or anything.

... but now i'm back to reality, and there will be no more of this not-updating-blog nonsense.  although that doesn't mean that i haven't been busy.  some other illustrators and i have formed an illustration collective - a blog where we post weekly challenges - and it just launched last week!  it's very cool, definitely worth a look or few - Square Carousel Illustration Collective.

first challenge from Square Carousel!and here's some exciting news... check me out in WNC magazine.

published!

finally got my copy of worcester magazine! last march i did an illustration for their annual poetry issue.  maybe you’ll recognize (clockwise) shakespeare, allen ginsberg, elizabeth barret browning, poe, and emily dickinson.

also, a piece of mine was accepted into SCAD’s communication arts show! the show encompasses different pieces from all the majors within the school of communication arts, which includes illustration, advertising, graphic design, and sequential arts.

oh yeah! if you’re in the asheville area, keep an eye out for me in WNC magazine, which is coming out next month.

a little lettering

i always forget how much i enjoy hand-lettering and typography.

and this sketch for the potential cover of WNC magazine seemed like the perfect opportunity to rekindle that love.  the issue focuses on western North Carolina pride (not to be confused with West Carolina).
