Also, entries from the haiku contest at “The Wild Life” are available for view here — thank you all for joining!! Giant Robot will be notifying the winners shortly.

The show runs through September 17th & artwork is now available for view and purchase online on the GR2 website.

For purchase of hanging ornaments (the components of the installation) you’ll have to contact GR2 directly or visit the show in person.

Lastly, Chronicle Books “Musical Notes”: a gift box of 18 musical greeting cards illustrated by me, are now available in the shop…enjoy!

The show runs from August 16 - September 17th, 2008. And please, tell your LA friends because the post office put a hex on our postcards and i’m pretty upset about that.

Other newness around here:
New in the shop: the Treetops Journal! Illustrated by me, published by Chronicle Books, the journal features 192 pages of full color interior featuring trees, birds, twigs, owls and general treetoppiness. Check it out here & look for more collaborations between me and Chronicle Books shortly!

Bank of America commercials — I had the super fun experience of illustrating sets for this series of commercials for college students — it was pretty surreal and an amazing experience. Check them out!

Phew, ok. Hope to see you at the Wild Life in LA — I’ll be there for the reception, Saturday, August 16th from 6:30 pm - 10pm. Art, installation, haikus, prizes, Red Vines… should be lots of fun. Come by and say hi!

hello to my totally new portfolio, CV, and splash page. whatcha think?

while redesigning my website made my fingertips and eyes go numb from coding, i also feel a strange sense of accomplishment. kind of like doing your taxes or flossing your teeth. slightly more enjoyable than taxes and dental care.

Also new in the shop: organic cotton messenger bags and tote bags, 3×9″ shopping lists and new owl to-do lists!
