SVA is showing some of my work on their facebook page. I actually haven’t checked it out, because it’s weird to read about myself. But for everyone else, check it out at : https://www.facebook.com/SVACE

New website design
So last week I decided to redesign my site out of the blue. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while but with the amount of work it takes to create a WordPress theme, I kept putting it off. Finally decided to use an existing theme, which has a snazzy web shop built in. … Read More
More dinosaur product
Continuing my quest to have a wider range of products, I decided to print my popular t-rex design on fabric which I then sewed to make cushions and bags. Everybody’s been telling me I should print on tote bags, but I personally don’t like tote bags. I do like backpacks though, and this design is … Read More
Line art for textile prints
I’ve decided to do more prints on textiles since I’ve gotten better acquainted with my sewing machine. The above line art is meant for cushions / pillows. Originally I wanted the frog to blow bubbles through a pipe, but I thought some parents might get offended with the pipe (since my work is supposed to … Read More

The book has 8 etchings. which uses a mixture of hardground and aquatint.. I only have 6 copies of the book, so it’s the most expensive book I’ve ever made … Read More
My first sewing project
I got a sewing machine 4 years ago, which I never used. I also have a lot of stuffing that’s just been sitting in a closet. Since I saw people (really Shannon, who does pillows) at the SVA printshop printing on fabric, I was inspired to try the same. This is the first time I’ve … Read More
Gorilla monoprint
For my second monoprint, I did a gorilla. I drew it from memory, which is why to me it looks a bit cartoony. I think I should have just made the whole eye black instead of showing the whites of the eyes. This monoprint is made using a brayer, and I have trouble making fine … Read More
More elephants!
Here’s yet another etching of elephants. This is actually two plates pushed together to make one image.
