Free Art Supply Cart restock on Sunday, August 16th

Image
  I dropped a few things off on the Free Art Supply Cart over the weekend. What kinds of things? Well, several notebooks, some paint, thread, yarn, beads, and a few tiny toys. I started putting tiny toys on the cart a couple of months ago and I was told somebody said "these aren't art supplies" but as a tiny toy maker myself, they are obviously a major source of inspiration. Plus! They're great for assemblage art projects like shadow boxes or dioramas, you know? Either way, folks really seem to be enjoying the addition of tiny toys because they've been almost completely cleared out every time I stop by :->

Tiny face zines preview

Image
Hey! Guess what? I made two new zines! Yep. Tiny foldy ones containing drawings of a face. It's hard for me to be objective about my own work so I'm curious to see if other folks have a preference between the two. My next tabling event is OC Zine Fest at Anaheim Public Library on Saturday, August 15th. Come through!

Free Art Supply Cart restock on Wednesday, July 29th

Image
Here are a few pictures of what's on the Free Art Supply Cart at Other Books at the moment. I try to stop by for a restock every other week or so. Today I dropped off loads of colored pencils, some pads, pens, tiny toys, and paint. If there's anything you'd like me to try and stock on the cart, just leave me a comment and let me know what :->

Index card doodles for Raku (Mini) Gaki at Giant Robot Gallery

Image
These are some index card doodles I drew for an upcoming group exhibition at Giant Robot Gallery. This was a lovely change of pace for me. Whittling wood sculptures is fun and all but it's also very time consuming. And nothing beats doodling! I like how these turned out but I'm not sure anybody else will give a darn about them. Oh well! This show opens on Saturday, July 11th and it's probably worth checking out in person if you can?

Let's have a look at some special Capsule Castaways wood toys, shall we?

Image
I make a lot of tiny Capsule Castaways wood toys and have a few standard types that I make in perpetuity. But to break up the monotony of whittling the same little guys over and over again, I also make special dudes that require a little more thought and creative energy on my part. The following tiny toys are some of the special ones that I made recently. I hope you enjoy looking at them! Let me know if you have a favorite :->

"What took you so long?" wood diorama for Neko Show 2026 at Giant Robot Gallery

Image
  This is another in my series of tiny dioramas that I've been making for Giant Robot Gallery shows. I made a last minute change to the piece that added so much time to the process but I think it paid off? (I had to change the cat's car color so it popped more.) This group art exhibition opens today (6/20/26) and if you get a chance to see my piece in person I hope it agrees with you :->

Tiny Places wood diorama series for Small World 2026 at Giant Robot Gallery

Just as I was about to finish this small series of tiny dioramas, I got super sick. It's the first time I've been sick since before the pandemic!! What should've taken hours to complete, took days instead. But they're done now! These will be on view at Giant Robot Gallery alongside lots of other art starting on Saturday, May 9th.
