Grove bamboo iphone case

Pictures of a bamboo iPhone case produced by Grove, using my "This & That" pattern. Grove is a Portland-based company that I had the opportunity to visit recently. They're a great bunch of folks who like to do most things by hand, and produce wonderfully-crafted products such as these. They also work with different artists to create designs for their products. I'm so happy and grateful to be one of these!

You can get my design HERE!

below is the original repeating pattern I created.

Pictures from "Curious Reveries"

Just thought I'd post some pictures from the reception of my solo show, here in Portland at Antler Gallery. I thought the opening and reception both went well, and it was so nice being able to talk to everyone and watch them take in the work. I even sold a few pieces! I definitely feel kinda tired after doing all that art in a relatively short period of time, but I think it was nice having the work really the space. A huge thanks to everyone involved (you know who you are). I couldn't have done it without you! The show will be up through the 24th of July :)

Ready for SHOW TIME!

After several months of constant, hard work, my solo show is finally installed at Antler Gallery. Amidst computer problems, broken frames and stress over tight deadlines, everything worked out! I am so grateful to the awesome people at Antler Gallery for inviting me to show at their space and further expose the people of Portland to my work. It's a great opportunity and made even better by the fact that they're just darn nice folks to work with (and talented artists themselves -  and after all, who better understands the trials, tribulations and triumphs of artists than other artists?).

I was dubious about everything fitting in the space, but we worked our magic and everything has a place, despite the charmingly compact dimensions of the place. The show consists of 21 brand new, never before seen works, including a screen printed ABC poster I have been waiting to debut. Master silk screener Rand Renfrow was kind enough to offer his services and print my poster. He did an amazing job and I am so pleased with it!

I'm really looking forward to the opening tomorrow, and the reception on Friday. It's gonna be great! Hope to see you there if you are in the PDX area!

Here's the press release for my show this week! I'm finishing up the last piece now!

'Curious Reveries' solo show!

Here's the official flyer for my upcoming solo show. If you are in Portland, please stop by! Chances are I'd love to meet you :) I'm creating all new works for this and am actually going to be present for one of my own shows. A miracle!

Sneak peek of things to come!

I'm busy working away on the final stages of my solo show coming up soon! Here's a preview!

Site down....

Just wanted to mention that my site is currently down due to an excessive amount of web traffic this week. So it's good and bad all in one. It will be back online at the beginning of July. Until then, you can continue to check out what I'm doing on flick, Facebook, and here on my blog :)
