Tim and I have been making cut-paper illustrations that will be found in the new Walker Garden Pack—— it will be available to visitors in the next month. We've been cutting, waxing and I've been designing away for the last couple months and now the project is coming to an end! If you have kiddies and you're in Minneapolis area, you should check it out during your visit to the Walker and/or Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.

ah! donuts!

it's true——this modest shoppe does have the world's best cake donut (according to Jen!). You must visit if you're in Grand Marais to mark yourself off the domestic or international visitors board. Lot's of fun and games to be had here.

I made these little sketches/tags two summer's ago during my stay in Estonia. The background scalloped shapies are actually flourescent but for some reason my scanner can't grasp neon pink, green and yellow/the forms are geometric office stickers.
