New Online Store Open

I stumbled across this photo last night of Superfly Lullabies' workshop, where in the background Julie had framed and hung one of my prints she purchased last spring. Speaking of which, nearly every variation of this print and all the Sick Prints mini series can now be found for sale at my new Cargoh store.

Check it out.

Hello from New York

I have recently relocated to Syracuse, New York to pursue an MFA in Printmaking at Syracuse University. Hence the recent absence of updates as I settle into my studies.

But fear not, some projects are in the works and more information will be posted here when they come into form.

Art-A-Whirl with Andy McInnis

Come to Shuga Records during Art-A-Whirl and help support a great local project! I will selling my "Sick Prints", along with the prints of many other artists who were involved in Sweet Hair, to raise funds for Andy McInnis' latest project-- Screen Printing: On the Cheap.

Don't know Andy? Well you should: Andy McInnis is an arts educator and screen printing expert who is currently teaching screen printing workshops and printing on-site. He is quickly spreading the word about Screen Printing: On the Cheap, a DIY book project about printing out of your apartment.

So drop by Shuga Records during Art-A-Whirl/Hoolie Fest (May 14th, 15th, and 16th) and pick up some local art to support a great project. Or come to enjoy the educational stylings of Andy McInnis and print your very own t-shirt! Either way, its bound to be a blast.

ARTCRANK this Saturday, April 10th

Coast by Tonja Torgerson

Please come celebrate bikes and art at this year's ARTCRANK.

ARTCRANK is an annual bike-themed poster show featuring local artists and designers. My poster (above) and posters by over 30 other local artists will be for sale- all for just $30. This year ARTCRANK is working to raise money for Full Cycle, a Minneapolis nonprofit that gives free bikes to homeless youth and teaches them bike maintenance. So bike to Shelter Studios this Saturday (they'll have valet bike parking) and take home some local poster art!
