A Very Covid Christmas (Plus All Other Holidays and Basically Every Day This Year, For That Matter)
I decided to ring in the 2020 holiday season by making what seems like the most fitting ornament to embody this mess of a year… Presenting The SK Commemorative 2020 Covid Ornament! Sufficiently grumpy and full of all the 2020 feels, if I don’t say so myself… I was planning on just posting a quick…

Halloween 2020 Homemade Costumes
If you know me, you know I have a long tradition of making my kids’ (and mine when there’s time) Halloween costumes. This year, this COVID Year That Is 2020, was no exception. The only difference was there was actually time to make myself a costume AND there were pretty much no places whatsoever to…

Posters: Save the People’s Postal Service
The United States Postal Service is actually more American than apple pie. It was founded in 1639 and did you know, Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first Postmaster General in 1775. It’s kept people in this country connected – door by door, mailbox by mailbox – for centuries. As their motto goes, “Neither snow nor rain nor…

Black Lives Matter: Posters
I’ve made some more protest posters, available to you for free personal use. The “We Demand” design is directly inspired by a poster used in the 1963 March on Washington…a solid 57 YEARS ago. Ms. Wells-Barnett’s quote is 127 YEARS old –pause on that for a moment– from her “Lynch Law in All Its Phases,”…

By Request! Social Distancing Tees
Too soon? Likely not soon enough, if the truth be told. I got a request to design some social distancing swag and I’m here to tell you they’re up and available (for how long, due to virus shutdowns, I don’t know) on my Society6 shop page. I’m afraid I can’t control all aspects of the…

Halloween Craftacular 2018
Today I’ll be instructing a roomful of kids on how to make their own recycled golfball eyeball pendants. I love creating crafts that don’t involve the purchase of single-use craft store materials (glitter, resins, plastics, excess packaging that will all end up in the trash) but rather focus on the reuse of other familiar materials/objects…

Recent Client Work: Totally Collectible
I created this action figure box-style photo op display for attendees to have fun with at the Singer booth during the Emerald City ComicCon in Seattle last week. I busted out some custom hand-drawn and drafted lettering too! It was a really fun project to conceptualize and design and from what I hear, it was…

It’s March: Gun Reform Posters
There’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said regarding all these horrific mass murders in this country and the changes desperately needed regarding gun reform. Enough. I’ve created 4 new posters for you to print and march with. Walk out of school with them, march with them to see your local leaders, and…
