December 2009

I will be teaching a colored pencil mini-workshop on January 9th(Saturday). It will be at the COBACH Center in downtown Brighton. See Details below!!

I recently bought a new camera, and have replaced my latest piece's photo with a much better version. I plan to do this with my last 4, though probably not all at once - I will update my journal as I add the new photos!

I just rephotographed Victorian Goth. Such an improvement in color. Check it out!


I've been featured in the news article Returning Inspiration No01: 1000 Amazing Faces, and I am very honored!
