Drawing inspired by Thomas Frank

In my day job I work with lots of economists, and I find myself fascinated by economic theory. In an effort to improve my understanding of this bizarre field, I started a study group/book club at work. Our first book is Thomas Frank’s One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism, and the End of Economic Democracy. A tough slog, but at page 43 of 375 I am still determined. These are some of the sketches I’ve been doing in the margins…

Beyond Forgetting: Poetry and Prose About Alzheimer’s Disease

Hot off the press. Includes a short piece by me. I’m just starting to read the poems and prose in here and it’s heart-wrenching and comforting at the same time. I am so grateful to Holly Hughes for doing this project!

Go to the Beyond Forgetting website for more info, and for details on the reading in Bellingham Saturday.

I drew this for my cousin Mika’s wedding shower. She is getting married when the dogwoods bloom in New York state.

Jackson and Audrey

I like to take Jackson with me to work when I can. Lately I have been doing some writing for a small non-profit in Gastown. Jackson came with me one day when I was doing some research at their office and we met Audrey, who seemed nice at first…

Here’s another view of Audrey…

And this is Jackson. I’ve had him for two and a half years now, but I still can’t quite draw him right. His face is not so long. He is a papillon, male, tri-colour, 3 years old.
