Why I'm Not Where You Are

This is a collage done for the theme "distance."

Old maps, an Anthropologie catalogue, and colored pencil mounted on colored paper. All pieces cut with (naturally) my xacto knife. Framed and under textured glass.

"Thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst; and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better." (Henry V's proposal to Katherine of Aragon, and forgive me, I don't remember when it happens).

This was an experimental papercut, and a large one at that; I'm pleased with how it turned out, and, personally, think it would be a lovely wedding gift.

400-series Strathmore paper (18”x24”), xacto knife.

Juggling

It's true, I took Juggling 101 as a physical education credit when I was in college. I did not actually manage to learn how to juggle, which was unfortunate, but Tony was kind enough to let me pass, once I made a poster in lieu of completing the performance part of the final.

Primacolor pencils and ink on illustration board. Typography done by hand.
