Matchbooks

Someone gave me a large collection of old matchbook covers, they all look like they're from the 50s and 60s and bring to mind an era where getting the word out to consumers meant fitting a ton of information on a matchbook.  I like the 'pretty widow' matchbook because that sort of humor probably wouldn't fly today at all.  

Strange how when you collect one thing, people want to give you other random things to collect.  My sugar packet collection acts that way.  It's like a magnet for other random collectible items.  People save me pepper, salt and other random condiments... I've even inherited a napkin collection of all things.  Some of them are so old, the paper is brittle.

surrender

A drawing I did on new years eve that I later digitally colored.  I was thinking about both despair and reverence and how I can't decide which one this is.

Duality

Recently published illustration for Lilipoh's winter issue.  It was made for an article called 'Duality' which meanders through one woman's winter hibernation/tv watching and her love affair with the outdoors during warmer weather.

I really do wish it were spring here right now.  Fierce 20 degree F wind is blowing outside and has been now for several days.  Sigh!
