  • Have Guitar Will Travel – bear on bike version

    I’m a little sad to announce that I finished my FINAL LINOCUT (#12) for stay in Mexico. They take at least a week for the ink to dry, and I don’t have much time left here in magical Oaxaca.

    I’ll still be creating for the rest of my time. Stay tuned for some more colored pencil drawings soon.

  • Crows And Corn

    Handprinted linocut on kozo banan fiber paper

    With only two weeks left of my residency in Oaxaca, I have reopened my website’s gallery and would like to offer you the opportunity to support my work by adding one of the prints from this project to your art collection. Pre-orders are now open on my website and I will ship them out during the first week of April.

    Thanks everyone for your support!
