Over this past week I finished up making stickers for Rohan (Hiram, Brooke and Matt Wilson) and for Heavy Sons (Patrick, Emily, Ryan, and co.). I also started working on the cards for my aunt who runs the website Urban Artichoke.

This is by far my favorite picture from the weekend. Some friends of mine and I went on a bike ride from the Mission to Sausalito, where we caught a ferry and biked back to the Mission. It works out to be about 15 Miles. It was a lovely day.

This is my third year participating in the Art Clash Fun-a-Day project where you commit to creating an art piece a day for the month of January. This year I illustrated In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan. The show was great this year. Lots of neat stuff, including a ton of art from kids in a 6th grade art class from Watsonville.  The show is up at Cafe Pergolesi until the end of the month.

This last week has been busy! I started working on Annie’s cards, each project I make more complicated than the next, but more comfortable I get the less time consuming it becomes. I can only print on Mondays and Thursdays, and these cards needed to dry between each run so there wouldn’t be any ink rejection, so they took about 2 weeks in total to make. Hiram requested the side I was going to cut off (the paper has to be the size of the largest block, so I had to print the whole eagle) so I added his name when I did the last run in black. We printed about 1300, but the first 500 had the wrong phone number (oops!). On Monday I finally get to trim them down and ship them out. HOORAY! I also started working on the Daruma for a new tea shop in town called Hidden Peak Tea House run by David Wright and co. SUPER pumped on how it turned out. I made him stickers because I had time to kill, but the image will be used on the back of the menu and check folders (we think).

Went mushroom hunting with my buddy Paul today, we found SO MANY black trumpets! It was really exciting. First time I’ve ever found them, too! There were tons of Band Tailed Pigeons out there it, was super cool.
