After a long battle with pancreatic cancer my mom passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family and friends. One of the brightest lights I’ve ever known extinguished on June 16th 2024. The love and compassion given to all by my mom will live on in our hearts. I will strive to lead the rest of my life with the same kindness and warmth that she shared with the world.
I love you mom and miss you forever. Thank you for everything❤️

❤️@rae_ch_ We couldn’t wait any longer. On Wednesday Rae and I finally got married! Just the two of us in the woods on the coast of Oregon. I can’t wait to continue spending the rest of my life with this woman! Many thanks to @oregonbeachceremonies and @nadiajoycephoto and Rachaels amazing cousins Kellen and Riley who braved Gail force winds and rain to officiate, witness and document our strange 2020 marriage ceremony. Looking forward to celebrating in person with all our family and friends.
Here’s a quick sketch of an old Jeep CJ 5 I think. I came across this one walking in my neighborhood. Thank you Portland for all the old cars that keep me drawing!!

This is a piece a made a number of years ago and it seems sadly very relevant these days. I think I will re-title it, “social distance BBQ.” Stay home and stay safe! #editorialillustration #graphite #oldillustration #artistsoninstagram #illustrationartists #stayhome #staysafe #socialdistancing #socialdistanceart
1970 “desert” Datsun. I would have to say that my love of old cars in continually bleeding into my illustration work. Here’s another painting in quarantine while dreaming of a cross country drive. Stay safe and healthy! #datsun #minitruck #editorialillustration #desertlife #stonehengepaper #illustrationstudio #quarantineartclub #quaratineart #artistsofinstagram #desertart #classicpickup
This is a personal piece inspired by an article I read in @motherjonesmag magazine “‘An Open License to Pollute’:The EPA Has Halted Enforcement Due to COVID-19”. #stoppollution #stonehengepaper #savetheplanet #illustratorsoninstagram #quarantineartclub #artistsoninstagram #watercolorillustration #watercolorillustrations
