I made this poster for J Roddy Walston & The Business' 3-show series at the Ottobar starting on the 24th. Really fun direction and nice to have a hand in celebrating Ottobar's 20th anniversary! Tickets on the event page here.

Hey all! My Twin Peaks-themed anthology zine "Damn Fine Coffee!" just launched its funding project on Kickstarter! This is your chance to place pre-orders on the zine and also to snatch up screen prints, original drawings, AND paintings of Twin Peaks characters. If you're excited about the book, I hope you can contribute and help make it happen, or just take a minute to spread the word! Every little bit helps and I'm super thankful for whatever you can do or give. Seriously.
You can read more about the zine and see a few fantastic pieces by some of its fantastic contributors here.
Visit the Kickstarter project and claim a copy of the zine (which has free shipping for a limited time!) right here!
After all, in the words of Agent Cooper himself:
November 25 was the opening for the Super Villains show at Rotopol Press in Germany and they've put up a bunch of great pictures. Looking at the space and all the excellent work made me really wish I could have been there. And it looks like the show really was full of excellent work. You can check out a photostream of the opening on Rotopol's site here, as well as photos of each piece in the show here. In the mean time I just wanted to share a few pieces that really impressed me. It's super humbling to be included among this talent you guys. Thanks again, Rotopol!

My boyfriend Jimmy and I (much more rarely on my part) collect kaiju figures, and as you can see, we have a good amount (though not compared to the hard core collectors). So, since I see these every time I enter my door, and because they're really a lot of fun and have some wild designs, I decided to do a little painting of Kittyfire. She's one of the few female giant monsters and you can see her there in the right corner of the photo. So many of them have such awesome color variations and this figure has one of my favorites: red-orange on a glow-in-the-dark base. Very nice.
Next I definitely want to paint some Hedorahs once I clear my plate a little! And Agasukeron! Heck yes.

If you play today’s ultra-sweet Google Doodle Global Candy Cup, you can see my illustrations when you beat the game with the witch of your choice! I created the share images that you can post on Facebook or Twitter. You can also read about the personalities and quirks of each character here!
It was a lot of fun to work with their adorable character designs and to have a chance to flex my hand-lettering muscles. The game was designed by Sophie Diao, who also created all the assets, and animated by Nate Swinehart. Engineering by Ariel Lee, Maura Fitzgerald, Kris Hom, and Corrie Scalisi. Music and sound effects by Aivi & Surasshu. Thanks to my ADs Sophie Diao and Liat Ben-Rafael for including me in this super fun project!
Go play it! It’s pretty dang charming.
