• Update on the book, 7/05

  2008 Jul 06

  Sometimes I get stuck - like, really, really stuck, where I find myself just sitting in my studio, feeling overwhelmed and staring endlessly at my work. It becomes a place to hide in many ways - I recognize that spending time just looking at your work is important, so I use that as an excuse [...]

  2008 Jul 03

  After a very long day in the studio, I thought I’d take a break from writing about myself. My weird little “looking at” series has proven surprising popular and so I thought I’d give it another try. And so, here’s another entry onto the list of artists who I love and adore and I [...]

• New drawing 6/20 (I thought about the fights I had with myself)

  2008 Jun 20

  Funny… I’ve done several drawings now of pillow fights because I like them as this completely silly metaphor for acceptable feminine rage. Anyway, more (as always) soon…
