On Not Screaming

Just finished, scanned and shipped this to Eloisa Amezcua; one of these images will become the cover illustration for her chapbook On Not Screaming, to be published by Horse Less Press in August of this year.

Again, I'm super thrilled and honored to have been asked to be a part of such a wonderful project and to collaborate with such a gutsy, talented writer.  Thank you Eloisa!

In Progress - On Not Screaming


Earlier this year, I was ecstatic when I received an inquiry from Eloisa Amezcua about whether I would be interested in drawing the cover for On Not Screaming, to be published by Horse Less Press.



Her visceral writing places us in a potentially mundane backdrop, like waiting in the car as a child or watching a woman primp, but this setup amplifies the quiet rage, pain, femininity,  and heartache in these poems. I can't wait to get a copy later this summer! Stay tuned and follow her here.


It's been nice to be get back to the typewriter--it'd been awhile since this Spring was spent on my larger works for my show in Milwaukee. What a thrill to incorporate text and to work with this wildly talented, badass-lady!
