Need fresh greens? This lovely little “weed” grows all over the Bay Area. The Wood Sorrel leaves have a lemon-y taste. The leaves look a little like clover. You can eat the leaves, flowers and immature seedpods ❤? Have any favorite wild edibles you like to forage? #foraging #woodsorrel #edibleoakland (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lsCFADd_7/?igshid=1dm1lrasvvxoi

Made this for @patbozeman’s birthday ? It’s an inside joke masquerading as a botanical drawing ? #vidalia #botanicalillustration (Side note: for the last 6 months ive been weirdly drawn to the having the colors green and orange together ?‍♀️) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-TPfBDD267/?igshid=1s8ku7x1r4srg

Its the first infographic I’ve ever designed and way more motion graphics based than my normal character driven animation. That said, it felt really good to work on something Covid related. Education, empathy and support are great things to give right now ? Btw if you are feeling anxious about Covid they opened…

This amazing billboard is up in Fruitvale, Oakland. I dont know who put it up but it’s wonderful ? I think it might be a quote from #angeladavis? It’s in a high traffic pedestrian area. Activist work has given me more peace and fufillment than almost anything else I’ve done. Love that someones running ads for it ? #activists #oakland Fruitvale #gatewaydrug (at Fruitvale) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9iGsmeDcik/?igshid=o9np1y8fvn6w

Big shout out to the folks @350bayarea They have been working tirelessly on a huge #NoCoalinRichmond campaign for the last two years… (For context, Richmond, CA handles a ton of coal going to Asian markets). 350 Bay Area has been a big part the pressure to change that.

So i told myself i would start using this as a personal acct but I keep just posting art lol. SOON ill post a boat load of tiny house pictures ? In the meantime, here is the wedding invitation I created for my friends, Estelle & Todd. This piece like the Krampus piece was printed on parchment paper and shipped rolled like a scroll with a red ribbon.

And here is the final sculpt of my Cheshire Cat! There were many, many hours (days really) btwn the last one I posted and this one. (Btw the final piece would not be on backing boards – the boards are just there for a temporary support) I’ll show a bit more timelapse soon. In these photos you can also see his tail. The idea was the Cheshire Cat was phasing in and out of the world – as he does. I wanted the owner of…

It was a Cheshire Cat wall sculpture intended for Disneyland but it never saw the light of day. I thought it would be fun to show a few videos of its work-in-progress and the final sculpt. Here is a timelapse of the very beginning of the process. In the video you can see me using calipers to…
