There have been many changes business-wise in my life in the past 3 months. First of all, I decided to go on hiatus from Papillon Press, my letterpress stationery business after 6 years of doing it (read more about it on the PP blog). One of the main reasons for stepping back is that I realized I needed to fulfill my dream of becoming a published illustrator (or at least try to) and running the business full-time was preventing me from doing that (one only has to look at the sporadic entries on this blog for proof of that). Thus I’ve completely revamped my portfolio to reflect a variety of editorial illustrations.

I haven’t had this much fun drawing in years and am looking forward to making drawing my full-time job.

Lots more illustrations on my website.
