In my next life I’d like to be a fat Iguana lounging in the sun eating guavas.

I like bees

Fly Sketch

just a little sketch on a piece of scrap paper. It started out as just a doodle, but before I realized it, it had become a very involved rendering of our friend the housefly. I was happy with the outcome, less happy with the fact I had used a torn scrap of paper… but nonetheless I was able to pull a few good prints from it, as well as use it in a skateboard design.

The Spelling Bees

This is an old one I dug up from the archives. I used it collaged with a photograph in one of my lithography projects, so hopefully I’ll be able to find those prints somewhere.
