i'm rather fond of this little one.



goat face.


this strikes my fancy as well.


grow, little tree!


detail from the "tree" series.
(every time the little sprout grew taller her limbs and trunk hurt. she felt like she was stretching. being stretched is uncomfortable for a little sprout.)
beautiful words written by Rod Tucker, for his most recent book, which is untitled as of now.


these two pieces are romantically involved.
shhhh.



bits and pieces of a woman.
she was made out of seven separate blocks.

goodness gracious


walk on wood

trees trees trees


some horizontal fire


bookmarks!
pears!



experiments with the Christ vine linocut.
...
still not completely satisfied.


i have a fascination with luna moths.
i'd like to give it another try though. this guy looks rather tribal and agressive...
certian qualities that moths are not commonly known to possess



she's been etched.
luna.
