the summer has slipped away and autumn is nearly here. i look forward to big pots of tea, fall colors, plaids, and warm blankets, but i'll miss the late night light that comes and goes so quickly every summer. sunshine, stick around a little longer, huh?

it's been a tough a summer and i sadly haven't produced nearly as much work as i was hoping to. but, i have good news: we've found and rented a studio space! a lovely little room in which to draw, print, and in the case of julia, weave. i hope it will prove to be just the thing i've needed.

onto the illustration! ahoy there, matey. a pirate i spy!


i made this fellow at my day job (surprise) as part of a treasure map for kids. however, it has been adapted as an office door cling hence the "ye olde sign shoppe."


hope all is well with everyone out there thinking, making, doing.
