The newest member of my family has arrived! Ash labored all day in the comfort of our own home. Lucia Louise was born in our bathtub. Beautiful, Healthy and Happy, she brings lots of Love and Joy into our lives.
Now I just have to make it through Finals!
And come up with my Master's Thesis.

One of my designs submitted in the Strand Books tote bag design contest has been selected as one of the 20 finalists out of 811 entries!

Many thanks to Adrian Tomine, Art Spiegelman, Françoise Mouly, and R. Sikoryak for judging the contest!

You can now find me in the new 3x3 Illustration Directory: Illo 10

You can now find me on Illustrationmundo Just search me in the Illustrators section.

Sooo, awhile back I did an interview with this Korean Design magazine called w.e.b.. Well, it finally came in the mail! I have no idea what it says about me (except for the answers I gave in the interview), but it's kinda awesome to be in a Korean Magazine. I'll post the 4-page spread in my publications section. Check it out! And if you are in Korea, buy a copy! June 2009 issue!

New Dallas Observer out this week is sporting a brand-spanking-new cover by yours truly. Check it out if you're in the area.

Before I left Portland, I had the pleasure of painting a mural at Ptown scooters, the local scooter and moped shop (my saviors when my '66 vespa breaks down). You can check out the pictures of the project in the new gallery. It was tons of fun. I'll miss you guys.

So, with the economic downturn, I decided to take this opportunity to go back to school and get my Master of Fine Arts Degree. That means I had to move down to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Art University, which happens to have a pretty awesome Illustration Grad Program. Hopefully this means you'll be seeing a lot of improvement in my illustrations in the next few years. Although I'm still accepting assignments, my baby and school keep me kinda busy. If you have work for me, shoot me an e-mail. I'll see if I can pencil you in.
See you in the funny papers.

I've recently joined a relatively new portfolio site for Illustrators called Hire an Illustrator. Darren Di Lieto of the LCS has launched a site designed to help promote illustrators and creative types in a different manner than most. He actually contacts Art Directors directly, and even collects postcards from his profiled artists to send out in targeted mailshot packs.
Check it out!

I'll be redesigning the site over the next few days.
Hope you like what you see.

If you are a small business or someone who advertises in the local weekly, and happen to live in the Seattle or Portland Area, keep an eye out for mailers with my work plastered all over them. You can check them out in the Illustration section too... If I have to draw another building I might have a nervous breakdown!

My website is undergoing some drastic changes in the next month or so. I've been tired of trying really hard to understand how to update my site, so I've found an easier way to deal with it... pay someone else to worry about it.

Now updates should be immediate, and new work will be more frequent (crossing fingers)... hope you like the new look!
