Charlie and I drove 01h45m to Tuscon last Tuesday to join family from Illinois at his grandparent's house in Tucson. It was really fun and super relaxing. Even more than I thought it would be.

Right now I play in both the digital + analog art worlds, running back and forth and creating vastly different styles of work (in my opinion) in each. I especially love when things I like to look at—architecture, signage, interiors, clothing, film, accessories—also speak to the art I am making.
