New work!
Hello Everyone! I am currently working on some end pages for Rainbow Crate, and I thought I would share the process of working on them with all of you! The first step is always quick sketches. For me, these are very quick, just to give the client an idea of what the composition will be. They can the...
THE HOVEL--AUGUST NEWSLETTER!
Hello lads (gender neutral),I’m late this month on my Newsletter. I don’t have a specific date other than vaguely in the first week that I’m meant to be writing it, so ‘late’ is maybe a bit dramatic. I’m not ‘late,’ by any actual measure of time, and I don’t have a real deadline. T...
Witches in the window.
Happy August, folks. This will likely be the September Postcard, if I don't get around to drawing something better!

The Hovel--July Newsletter!
(photo credit: Binky.and.crumb on Instagram) Hello Babes, It’s July now, and Summer has successfully settled over Colorado. These are the dry months here, where the lack of humidity acts as the only consolation for how hot it gets. These are times to play in the river (it’s a creek, but let me h...

THE HOVEL--June Newsletter!
Hello my Sweets, Can I call you that? I’m going to. It’s Pride Month and therefore no one can get mad at me—virtually by law. We are a few days off of the first, but still close enough that I don’t feel entirely like I’ve missed the deadline. Three days late is still on time when you work ...

The Hovel--May Newsletter!
Hello Everyone, It’s the beginning of a new month, and the beginning of True Spring here in Colorado. The first half of spring here is always a game of chicken with the weather. It will be warm for weeks in a row and then dump three inches of snow seemingly at random. I always think of this as Per...

Welcome!It’s February, and it feels like the entire world has been holding its breath for a month straight. January is always a little like that, an anxious threshold standing between the true beginnings of the year. This year, that vestibule held a lot of weight. I feel it in the heavy center of ...
