So, recently I got married (eloped on Valentine’s Day in Las Vegas with the oft-mentioned-on-here Eric Dohnert!) and when we came back and told everyone, it became apparent that we weren’t going to get away without having another ceremony for family and friends. This was fine by us, as we relished the opportunity to put on a big, artsy show, and among other handmade things that were used for the wedding, Eric designed my bridal headpiece and I made it. I’m showing it from the front and the back, so you can see the elaborate veil thing I attached to it. I wore it all evening and it was a big hit!

I’ve wanted a collection of portraits of all ten (soon to be eleven!) Doctors for quite a while. Finally, it dawned on me that maybe I should make ‘essence’ portraits instead…abstract, highly graphical representations of what I felt each Doctor’s essence looked like. Here’s a small picture of all of them together…to see them larger, go to the Painting Gallery!

The Princeton University Press occasionally throws me work, and this was yet another such project. They needed four map illustrations traced in Illustrator and made generally palatable, and here’s one of them. You can see the full maps in the book “Nothing Less Than Victory” by John Lewis.

The Princeton University Press occasionally throws me work, and this was another such project. They needed a combination migratory map and family tree made for a book that traces the movements of the occupants of one particular farm in Massachusetts through the years. You can see it full-size in the book “Ten Hills Farm” by C.S. Manegold, available now from Barnes And Noble or Amazon.com.

One of my best friends is studying to become a mortician, and she needed ‘help’ (aka, I did the whole thing) on a sculpture of a head that was supposed to be of someone older, so as to practice facial reconstruction. She sent me some pictures of her father (who is not dead, but does qualify as ‘older’), and so I sculpted him. Really quickly. It came out pretty well, I think!
