Continuation and new iteration of my autobiography through homes I have lived in.
My Autohomography.

This offers a memory based aerial view from the behind my
current home toward the foothills that nestle the city of Pasadena.

Education History= Utility

Utility is defined as the state or quality of being useful.

My second utility box design was installed! It sits at the corner of Los Robles and Walnut at the edge of the Playhouse District in Pasadena. It honors investment in education, reflecting and remembering the history of what once stood on the corner opposite its position, in sketchy line, stitched at the seams.

Big thanks to the wonderful Playhouse District Association  for sponsoring the project and so much beautiful public art in the district. 

Thank you also to WrapAds in Pasadena for the amazing print and installation work!

Studies for upcoming REDCAT live drawing under direction of Carole Kim.

Continuing in my new small sketchbook with studies for upcoming live drawing session for Carole Kim's "Singing Head" installation at REDDCAT as part of the second session of the NOW
(New Original Works) series in a few weeks. The drawings will be included via live feed camera inverted projection, hence the digital inversion test pictured here.

"Local Hero" Canvas Tote Bag

This tote bag was a commissioned version of my Local Hero painting of the Colorado Bridge here in Pasadena. The wonderful Organization
http://ielts.org/ licensed this vector version of my painting to be screen printed on tote bags and given out to administrators at their national meeting this summer. They also produced a t-shirt, which I have yet to photograph.

Thank you IELTS!
