DRAW IT BIG!

6/9/2016

 
 Well Hello!

It has certainly been a while since I've updated y'all about what is going on! That is because I have been busy with many delightful things.  I aim to fill you in on some of these in the next week or so.  

​So!  Most recent fun first!  The cheerful cyclist at top right is my old boss at PIVOT Architecture here in Eugene, OR.  She is retiring, and I was commissioned to draw some mural-sized ephemeral art as party decorations for the bash the firm threw for her this past Monday. Check out PIVOT's twitter feed, which has a few photos of me with firm principal Harriet Cherry, the guest of honor. She is, as you might guess, a bicycle enthusiast, as well as a good sport!  (And yes, I know.  Maybe it's not the best idea to drink your wine while you ride -- consider it a metaphor for a happy future.)

Drawing of a man on a very tall bicycle, with balloons!  Dry-erase marker on white board, 2016.
I used to do this sort of thing for PIVOT when I worked there... like these African animals that helped celebrate the opening of the company's new offices a few years back.  It is great fun to draw at this scale, which is mostly taller than me.   I get to stand on ladders and stuff!

So!  If you need some party decorations, I am happy to help.  If you do not have giant white boards, I can also work on large sheets of paper, (scroll down to the king and queen), which have the advantage of being something you can keep around.
