Preview of my zine “Cram”! On sale at the Wpg Zine Fair at Negative Space, May 12 & 13! Lots of folding to do still…

The first pic is of the cover (yes, that is a wordsearch) and the second is a sneak peek of pages 6 and 7, which includes a number of interview questions that I posed to a number of people I know and their responses.

Late night painting session!

Late night painting session!

It’s been a busy and sleepless week, and as much as I’d like to finish something or start working on something new tonight…I really need to recharge first! I know you know the feeling!

My best friend/business partner and I have an art + writing journal in the making which is what has kept us both busy and sleepless this week (in addition to our full-time day jobs)—however, I’m very excited about it, so stay tuned…
