I had a gig for a couple of years as a purchasing agent for a vintage boutique in Washington, DC. The items in this drawing document some of the stuff that flowed through my hands from auction to shop.

Artemis II finally launched yesterday after a series of delays. I made this six weeks ago wondering what a great America might look like. Yesterday Iran's 'authoritarian' government wrote an open letter to the American people saying they don't hold us responsible for what our government is doing to them. While our 'free' government threatens their people with the very weapon we went to war to keep from them.

Made this during Trump's first term. Felt relevant to dust off while the billionaires are still pretending to pick sides.
Usually my work doesn't lean so political: https://foxandthistle.studio/

This skeleton is made almost entirely from by-products: a pesto jar, food packaging, corks, twine, chopsticks, mayonnaise caps, guitar strings…
The rose he’s surfing I found on an evening stroll.

Lately I’ve been working on monograms from some old books I found. This one is a cipher-style monogram of a ‘Krimson Queen’ hoya in bloom, with the moth that pollinates its flowers at night.

Dolphin & Anchor drawing for my Festina Lente study on Constraint.
I flipped the dolphin so he was breaching while holding and moving against the anchor. The waves are a Greek motif pulling west, while the clouds are pushing east.
Next month will be the Snail Shell & Rabbit.

Bobo sun masks from Burkina Faso and Mali are round, carved-wood pieces with geometric rays symbolizing light, fertility, protection, and nature's cycles. In rituals, male dancers wear them to channel spiritual power. The Wanzega style's symmetry represents balance between sky, earth, and spirit.

I'm currently looking for more artifacts to pull images from for shirt designs next year. This ibex from a jar unearthed in Iran got a pretty good reception in 2025.

Each day is better than the next.
The phrase, often misremembered as hopeful, flips into a dark little joke—one that acknowledges decline, sarcasm, or burnout. The wilted rainbow suggests something beautiful that’s been neglected or drained, yet it’s still extended forward, like a token of resigned affection and an acknowledgment that things aren’t getting better from here (at least not without some effort and change).

This is one of our favorite family recipes. A deliciously aromatic take on a cold-weather classic: sweet potatoes baked in a buttery, maple-vanilla glaze with warming spices, finished with a hint of rosemary and sea salt for a subtle herbal note.

Champion authenticity and the courage to perform your own tune—without bending for applause or approval. True art and self-expression happen away from the crowd, free from judgment or expectation. Sometimes the loudest voices aren’t the truest ones, and the most meaningful expression is the one only you hear.

Waves rise and fall with ceaseless motion, surging with power and retreating into abyss. They envelop silently and erode that which seems immovable, blurring the boundary between the way things seem and the way they are.

A moment lost, a chance missed, a future never realized — the haunting refrain of hindsight echoes in every step. Steinbeck understood it well: “Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are…
it might have been."

Feeling troubled? A bit harried? Is "too much is too much” — just too much sometimes? Or maybe you’re wildly aware that everything’s been going a little too well as of late. It’ll all come crashing down at any minute. There is only one thing for certain, and that is:
Uncertainties Await!

Confidence isn't about fitting in - it's about embracing your quirks. And in the words of Bill Murray, "The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything."

Movement is often mistaken for progress. Wandering can be aimless, chaotic, revelatory—or pointless. Not every journey leads to a shining truth, and not every traveler finds what they’re looking for — regardless of how noble or charming they may appear.
