I found these hang tags at Flax Art & Design at 1699 Market St. when I was still in SF. I like them quite a bit since I have become semi-obsessed with birds. Actually, my dog hunted down a wild guinea and I took all of the feathers he pulled out in the [...]

So, Annalise Lundeen and I made this beautiful video, “Girl In A Box,” for her final composition for Fashion Illustration II. It is amazing. We recorded it at Grace Cathedral Park with her computer’s built-in camera. The story goes like this: a robot girl has found that she can not participate in [...]

I made this collage for a color family assignment in one of my classes and it is one of my favorites. Clearly I was working with earthtones on this one.

Tuesday night on Nob Hill is trash night which means there is always stuff sitting out next to the sidewalk waiting for a new owner to come along. My friend Nicole was walking home from Astronomy on Tuesday and found this book, The Complete Encyclopedia of Antiques, edited by L.G.G. Ramsey. The entire [...]

This is a picture that was taken on a road trip to Meadow Vista at some rest area park. There were so many ducks and geese of so many different sizes. As I was waiting for an opportunity to take a picture of them, these five all lined up outside the car. They remind me [...]

My friend Mary, who lives in Salem, Oregon, came down to SF to visit me during her Spring Break, and while she was here we wanted to go to the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park. As we walked through the park I began showing her and her friend, Marleta, all of the places [...]
