an easter tradition.


in celebration of the first sunday following the first full moon following the ecclesiastic vernal equinox, hans and i have once again decorated eggs.

bus driver appreciation day

after one of many pleasant bus rides home, hans and i were admiring the skill and usual friendliness of seattle’s bus drivers, and we wondered if, perhaps, there was a day devoted to these often underappreciated transportation heroes. we found no such day, and realised we had no choice but to create one. bus driver appreciation day is officially happening this upcoming wednesday, the 18th of march. so pick up some flowers and a nice card or two, and appreciate your bus driver.

rearranged

with the fresh light of spring and a feeling of near finish on the current series, i have not only been spending more time in the studio, but also finding myself frustrated with how uncomfortable the studio makes me feel. so, in hopes of keeping my spirits high, i’ve rearranged - the furniture, the paintings, everything. and the result is quite fantastic. there are few things i enjoy more than discovering the unintentional interactions of gaze and expression as of my characters meet on one wall.
