in the summer of 2006, i wrote the first draft of my novella, Yesterday, in Lotus Shoes: an epic of tiny proportion, an allegory-adventure about Lotus Girl. all along, i intended it to be an illustrated novella. four years and many iterations of illustrations later, and still not one set of drawings or paintings has seemed quite right for the job. i pick the manuscript up every now & then, edit a little bit, and then let it marinade a little longer. one day, i’ll finish it!

i made this series of six pencil drawings shortly after i wrote the first draft. i kind of like these as stand-alone drawings.


Bring That Here Before We Lose It


She Didn’t See It Coming But It Came Anyway


I Escaped Through the Bedroom Window


Can You Suspend the Truth Just a Little Longer?


This is What She Meant


This Time I Left
