We really enjoyed the opening of Futures at the Center for Visual Art MSU (@cva_msudenver) the other evening. It was a beautiful show featuring an impressive range of regional printmaking. It’s up through March 21 and absolutely worth a visit. Go check it out and support artists like Wendy Kowynia, Kate Leonard, Catherine Chauvin, and many more.

It’s been a bit since I’ve done some architectural illustrations of places around Denver, but hey look… it’s Feral Gallery! A brilliant new gallery over on 17th ave in the Uptown neighborhood that you should really check out. This was a fun one to do.

One of my illustrations just arrived in the mail. Postcards with my recent East Colfax illustration are being send out by Colfax Ave BID with listing some upcoming happenings along our 3 or so mile stretch of East Colfax. Keep an eye out as the postcard should be popping up in mailboxes all through the neighborhoods quite soon.

Next Exit: 5 Miles. Some inks. Was asked for an illustration of people in traffic as they attempt to drive up into the Rocky Mountains for some winter holiday fun. Slight problem since I pretty much always avoid traffic, mountains, nature, and holiday fun. Still, it came out quite well. Now to add some colors…

Blucifer Attacks The ‘Fax. Abandon all hope. Here are some inks for an upcoming thing. On the whole, the illustration came out pretty damn well. Now to color this monstrosity and set it loose into the world.
