Mouse on Literacy

I was asked to have "Knitting with Mouse" used in Literacyhead's "Art of Teaching Words" feature-- to teach high frequency words (in Mouse's case, it's "Find"!).  As a teacher and an artist, I'm so happy to have work that serves an educational purpose...

Literacyhead.com--an online collection of original lessons, tools and resources geared toward literacy educators--artists and educators combine forces to make learning a fun and educational experience for children--both in visual/textual literacy and the arts!

My Bloody News! Creative Quarterly 28

This image made it into Creative Quarterly 28 as a runner up!

So thankful to the judges for choosing my bloody meat...

Also,

I made some business cards that came in (a 1st for me) and did this zebra book image for Society of Killustrators! I also fiddled around with an image, thinking of a CD cover idea for Forest Sun. Thanks Pandora for always being in the background while I doodle:)

A couple updates:

Did an illustration recently for INC Magazine's July issue- about video conferencing products for different devices- good to work with Sarah G. on this:)

Also, I will be showing these 3 pieces at a group show at Majestic Gallery's National Show, opening night June 29th, 2012!

Recaptured End at DAC Gallery

Here are pics of the recent artwork of mine from a 2 person show at DAC gallery (with fellow artist Ching Ching Cheng)! The show was a great success, the space for the art was awesome...Thanks to everyone who came to the opening to support and check it out:)

Experimenting with more graphic elements. This one's called "Trimmin' the fat". Big corporation's decisions to make up for profit loss by cutting out thousands of workers. A bloody mess!
