A collaboration with my nephew


I wanted to make some art with my nephew since I moved back to Nebraska. A few days ago I thought of this portrait collaboration we could try. I drew a portrait of my 2 year old nephew, Caden. After it was finished I gave the portrait to Caden and let him color the picture with his sweet crayon skills. I decided the coloring would be finished once he got bored or quit drawing on the portrait. I feel Caden's contribution gave the portrait life and made it extra special.

Pinkasaurus Electricity Bill Posters











This is my last series of drawings before the poetry illustrations. I made them when I was living at the Pinkasaurus/Awesome house in Portland, OR. I was in charge of the electricity and netflix bills and towards the end of our stay I decided to get creative with asking for shares from my wonderful roomates. This is dedicated to friends and all the other beautiful people and animals that were a part of that house.

a gift and a dead centaur



This second drawing 'Windy Beard' was a gift to my friend Beth,
for the black and white gallery of artwork she is creating for her home.
