Now at your Local News Stand

Check out my work in the Summer issue of VenusZine. It has Missy Elliott on the cover — you can't get much better than that!

New Art for Thing-a-Day


I've been slogging away at Thing-a-Day this month. I've made a lot of jewelry and origami that I haven't posted here, but I thought I'd share these two little creatures. I made the owl in flash, and the Jackalope is on a teeny-tiny canvas with gold glitter. These were both a lot of fun to make.

Test-Heads


This week's theme on Illustration Friday was "Choose". With the MCAS (Massachusetts state assessment tests) coming up soon, some of the kids in the school where I work have become preoccupied with test scores. I think it's a shame how the education system has become so focused on standardized testing — turning children into little "test-heads".

Thing-a-Day

I've been participating in this year's Thing-a-Day. Everyone who signs up makes one thing each day in February and posts it on the site. So far it's been a great motivator for me, and it's also great to see what other people are working on. Here are the first four things I made: a tiny painting with glitter, a bead necklace, a sketchbook and five paper cranes.

Now I need to go brainstorm about what to make today!

Plain

What's more plain than vanilla?
