Us

I was very excited when contacted to contribute art to America Scores' "Inspired Art" Auction.  The organization promotes self-expression, teamwork and exercise through a unique combination of soccer and poetry for children.
For this piece, I chose the poem, "Us," written by one of the program's participants as my inspiration. Full poem after the jump!




US
Evelyn S.

We have so much fun.
We go out and run.
She and I go out in the sun.
We just relax and lay down in the field
Before we run.
When we go on a ship we have fun all day.
We use this game back then and figure out how to play another way.
When I leave her house I walk  by myself.
When she  leaves my house I know she walks by herself.
But
We are a tree
Branches stuck together
We have the strongest bond
US!

See America

Very excited about the See America Project collaboration with Creative Action Network and National Parks Conservation Association.

So excited that I made one poster for the Upper Peninsula's Pictured Rocks

And another for my home, Cape Cod.

The Cape Cod National Seashore poster was featured on The Huffington Post and Complex!

Last of the Cats

So just to cap off a steady stream of cat posts, here are a couple Olive sketches.

After this, I'll think of something other than cats to post. Promise.

Bee Bee

Here's a little guy I made for a friend's baby shower. (Now the hilarious title makes more sense, huh?)

I have been thinking about bees a lot recently.  If you have also been, consider buying a tote or something!

Re-Sendaked!

Created this piece a few months back for SLJ's Re-Sendakify Sendak Project and am excited it is finally up!

Maurice Sendak and Kevin Henkes were (and are) two of my favorites so I had a lovely time combining them for the 50th anniversary of Where the Wild Things Are.

Hope you like it too!

Snake You

Call me optimistic, but I created a thank you card:

My Little Globe

I made a little globe today.

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Birthday Ron

Here is a card I made for a friend to give a friend. Incidentally, no one makes cards for me. It's okay though because I had fun doing it!

Belated Birthdays

I can't be sure but I feel like I've put up things about belated birthday greetings before.  Probably because it's not the least common occurrence.

Better late than never!

Happy Thoughts

Here are some images from a project I recently worked on for The Happy Gym.
