"self portrait" - charcoal, $18 for a print.

A self portrait assignment I completed for my figure drawing class last semester.  I had to draw it in my bedroom amidst glaciers of dirty clothing using a hand-held mirror.  This is definitely one of my life's triumphs.  Prints and original for sale.

"the ruins" - wood, paint, paper, cotton, and glass. For sale!

I made up a whole story to go with this one!  The glass chunk in the middle with the red and blue star bursts is a comet aiming to destroy the town below, but the town is already destroyed because the people destroyed it themselves.  Anyway, prints will not be made of this, but if you're interested in purchasing, please let me know.  My original asking price is $200, but I'm willing to go a little lower for the buyer who proves their love.

"brighter than sunshine" - acrylic on paper board, $18 for prints.

This one took me awhile, but it was totally worth it.  I'm really happy with how the colors came out.  Prints and original available.

"birds not bombs" - mixed media, $15 for a print.

Handsewn and crafted with all the love manageable at 3 in the morning.  I love this one.

"it's raining again" - ink and watercolor, SPECIAL PRICE! contain your excitement!

I'm selling the original for $30 and I probably won't make prints unless the demand is high enough, so get it while it's hot!

"sister carrie" - gel pen and colored pencil, $10 for a print.

More cartoon-y people!  This was in my show "Saturdays."  (I can never remember if I pluralized that or not.)  Original NFS, but prints are.  FOR HIDDEN FUN: LOOK FOR THE RANDOM SILVER STAR!

"like pink taffeta" - acrylic on watercolor paper, $15 for a print.

Even though this took many moons to finish, I am surprised and delighted with how it turned out.  Especially that flower in the center closest to the bottom; that is one good-looking flower, yo.  Prints and original available for purchase.

"blood red summer" - ink and watercolor, $15 for a print.

That peaceful, easy feeling makes up for every hour you spend working in, say, a museum selling tickets to people who hate you for the high prices.  Original and prints for sale.

"plum tree" - acrylic on canvas board, $15 for a print.

The plum tree outside my house.  Original and prints for sale.

My friend passed out on the green by the Willamette.  Original and prints for sale.

More of the cartoon-y kids series.  Original and prints for sale.

"bunny" - watercolor, $15 for a print.

My stuffed bunny I've had since I was fresh out of the womb!  I cleverly named her Bunny.  There's even a rattle in her head.  Original NFS, my mom would never forgive me, but prints are available.

"lamp boy" - ink and watercolor, $10 for a print.

One of a series of cartoon-y girls and boys.  Both prints and the original are up for grabs so give me a holler if your heart's pitter-pattering for this piece!

"i understand solitude" - scratchboard; $15 for a print.



Here's some more work from the "Saturdays" show.  The original isn't for sale - my parents will never unclench, don't try - but prints are available for purchase.

"how romantic" - mixed media, $300.



This mixed media piece was created for my first show, "Saturdays," and is available for purchase.  If you're interested in prints, let me know.  (Prints will be cheaper!  Score!)

"regina project" - mixed media, $10 for one print.








Earlier this year, I decided, because I am a huge nerd, to start the regina project.  My goal is to illustrate every single song Regina Spektor has ever sung and send a bound booklet of my illustrations as a gift of appreciation to her.  (Hopefully this doesn't make me sound like too much of a freak.) I may or may not make prints of my illustrations available for purchase; I have to figure out the copyright infringement issues first.  What you see here is as follows: "Baobabs," "Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori," "Aquarius," "Buildings," and "Braille."
