SPACE JAM was a 4-day event during Mission Creek, occupying the area above the Deadwood bar in Iowa City. Included was a family portrait studio, zine-making supplies and a copy machine, and a zine-reading lounge accompanying the exhibit of zines by many artists (including tons contributed by me from our Zine A Day project). Check out pics of all the zines at instagram.com/s_p_a_c_e_j_a_m/

Open House Art Show, hosted by Phoebe Martin, from Skogman Realty, featuring four local artists. With my art, I filled a space that was once a little boy’s bedroom.
Governor’s Mansion asked me to display some art for a few weeks in the room where many events are hosted. In addition to showing all kinds of random creations on paper, I provided a tape player and 40 cassettes with album covers and / or sounds made by me.
For the third annual Dark Slide skateboard art show, I painted a deck with Pebeo solvent-based effect paint. The exhibit featured loads of great Iowa artists, and was up for a month at the Dubuque Area Arts Collective gallery.
#inktober is a month-long creative exercise encouraging people to produce art using ink, and post the results to social media. My daily October output in ink is as follows:
Here are some bags I dyed and printed for the United Way of Johnson County Women’s Leadership Circle’s Power of the Purse silent auction. All money went to Iowa City’s first Summership program, which gives money to kids so they can attend summer programs they would otherwise be unable to afford.
FilmScene asked me to create an award that would be presented to Terry Gilliam, a life-long influence on my creative mindset.
