Luxe + Lens Limited Edition

I'm pleased to announce another special collaboration this year! My self portrait Outline, has been selected by the incredible Luxe + Lens as their latest limited edition silk scarf--and they are on pre-sale now!

Beautiful friend, beautiful model: Nele Red

I'm also thrilled to have another opportunity to share with Public Annex, a nonprofit and community dear to my heart. For every Outline scarf sold, $10 will be donated directly! Public Annex is an organization here in Portland that works to break down systemic barriers that prohibit marginalized populations from inclusivity by building a community around accessible farming and art programming for people with developmental disabilities.

I'm especially grateful to team up with such talented and brilliant ladies, Rachael and Nele! Rachael (owner of Luxe + Lens) has such a passion for what she does and has been a dream to work with.  She works hard to make a beautiful product while working to support and elevate other artists. I owe Nele (and Wildwood & Co.) for connecting us in the first place and of course for her epic modeling skills.

Each 36" square scarf is 100% silk, hand hemmed, and printed using environmentally friendly machines.  These babies will be shipping by September! Enjoy!

Misaligned

I'm pleased to announce that I've completed this drawing today--just in time to unveil it along with its cousins at The Lab PDX tomorrow at Holocene! This event is going to be a wild combination of art, music and performance.

In addition to sharing these works, I'll be hosting a typewriter-drawing party, recreating an image one 4x4 inch square at a time.  I have borrowed a small herd of portable manual typewriters (an Olympia, Olivetti Lettera and Hermes 3000) from Ethan Jewett--one of the typewriter experts of Ace Typewriters--that we can draw with together!

C2 in progress--come make your own 4x4 inch square tomorrow with a typewriter!

A former typewriter-monogamist, it's been a treat to learn how to draw with other typewriters, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and even some proper functions I didn't know about! What magical machines.

There will be a host of other artists and performers involved, as well as live music from Lorna Dune, Sleeping Wolf and The Pearls. Tickets are $8 if you buy them in advance today or $10 cash at the door. For more info/details/tickets, click here.

Hope to see you there!
