Groundhog Day

"Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." --Bill Murray as Phil Connors in 1993's Groundhog Day To be fair, the days comprising the Trump administration so far aren't all exactly the same. No, there's a new kind of crazy every day. It would be kind of exhilarating if it weren't so... Continue Reading →

The Issues: Holiday 2016

  I strive very hard to not be the kind of artist who feels compelled to annotate her work. Naturally, the only reason I bring this up now is because I'm about to do just that. I knew as long ago as last summer that I wanted my design for my holiday card to relate... Continue Reading →
