StencilGirl Talk: the guest designer strikes again
You knew I couldn't just leave well enough alone with the stencils, right?
StencilGirl Products was kind enough to indulge me again, and I've written a second blog post for them that's live RIGHT NOW.
I also used one of my favorite old stamps, created from Michelangelo's depiction of Cleopatra. Wanna see how I used it in my journal page design? Go check out the post for the reveal...
"Black Lives Matter" in Seattle: the road thus far
I'm a little in awe at the momentum of the "Black Lives Matter: Humanity Not Negotiable" exhibit. The opening reception was PACKED...
... and I'm pleased to say one of my two pieces sold that very evening.

And Real Change News contacted me for a story on the exhibit as well. It's encouraging to see how art can extend and deepen a discussion of an ongoing issue like racialized violence.

My page was one selected for Dawn's new book (she also wrote the hugely popular 1000 Artist Journals). More than a thousand artists from all around the world are featured in this new release. They've submitted their innermost thoughts, doodles and paintings to this new book.
Rumor has it Powell's Books in Portland already has copies. If you grab a copy, post a photo of yourself holding the book to my Facebook page -- I'd love to see it!
