Be Cool Stay in School

October 5, 2017

Be Cool Stay in School   14"x16" 

Something I created for my agency's promotional theme of "Take Your Pet to School". If we all only had a giant, helpful rabbit who helped us with the heavy lifting so we could have a free hand for yo-yo-ing! This kid is super cool, and he knows it!

(p.s. His glasses are my favorite part about his outfit, hands down.)

Shakespeare is Deer to My Heart

April 23, 2016

In My Hart of Hearts   8"x10"  Acrylic on paper

Today the world is remembering & celebrating the brilliance of William Shakespeare, so I thought I would join in and share a Shakespeare inspired commission I did for a British music magazine (I'm a sucker for those lace collars.) 

Here's the quote that inspired the piece:

"Give me that man, That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, As I do thee." - William Shakespeare (Hamlet Act 3, scene 2, 71–74)

Way to go Shakespeare!
