Goodbye Providence and thanks for all the fish.

As of yesterday I no longer live in the smallest state. Thank you Providence, you were fun and I met some great people and learned some cool things. I learned all about the state's founder- Roger Williams and how he inspired our American concept of religious freedom and "the Separation of Church and State"- and that there is no debate he meant exactly that (also found out that the puritans were jerks, driving in Massachusetts- no surprise there). For a good intro into Roger Williams check out this Smithsonian Article. I also found out that in the smallest state this qualifies as a waterfall (Yes I'm being an Oregon snob when it comes to waterfalls) . Big thank you to the Frog & Toad Store for selling my wares and introducing me to a Rhode Island specific- Stuffies.

Now I'm off to Montauk for a Month then I start my journey to move to the actual island state.

LINEWORKNW!


Just some of cool things I'll be bringing this Sunday to the LineworkNW Festival!
I'm really excited to be participating in a festival in my home town! I've already seen a Timber game (they lost. Boo) gone hiking up Oneonta Gorge (Not freezing in May, if you need proof of global warming that is it) BBQ'd on the Sandy river! (Thanks Rocky!) It's been pretty sweet except my brother insists that we ride bikes everywhere. So my visit will be wrapping up with this Festival- It's free admission and chock full of amazing artists whom I'm lucky to exhibit with! So come by this Sunday and check out some cool comics and illustrations!
Linework NW will take place on Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22, 2016, at the Norse Hall in Portland, Oregon. Hours of operation are 1pm-8pm both days. Attendance is free and open to the public.

Screenprinted the KITTENS #2 Cover


Just spent this afternoon screenprinting to KITTENS #2 at AS220 in Providence. I'll be debuting this book at Linework NW on May 22nd. It's been a bit since I've pulled the squeegee- I had no idea how much I missed it.

One Cephalopod Band


This is a mock-up for my next screenprint- Octoband! I might also put this on a tote bag ot a t-shirt. It's been raining endlessly here in Providence... the next time I tell someone I'm from Oregon and the first thing they always go to is "Doesn't it rain there all of the time?" It does, but not like this I never owned an umbrella until I moved out east- Yes. it is making me cranky.

KITTENS #2 is colored!


I just finished coloring KITTENS #2 and after just a bit more post-production it'll be ready to be sent to the printers... and I'll need to silkscreen the cover. I'll be debuting this at the Linework Festival next month in my hometown of Portland, Oregon!
