Portraits of kids are all the same. There may be a lot of them out there, but in the end, they are all just a variation on the same happy theme – a commentary that kids are always smiling and laughing. I think we do them an injustice by painting them this way. This hasContinue Reading

This project being based on words, I eventually found it inevitable that today’s word would deal with poor kerning. At first, I was caught up in the idea of a negative space in a short movie, but this was too much fun. I found these letters in a craft store, and being as cheap asContinue Reading
