I’ll have a piece in Jason Sturgill‘s Deadstock Show, benefiting the wonderful Right Brain Initiative, a group working to make arts education accessible to all students, K-8, in the Portland tri-county region. Opening at Compound Gallery this Thursday, February 2nd with a host of fantastic artists. Hope to see you there! Here’s my contribution:
I made a poster for our upcoming record release show. Hope you can make it!
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the illustrations I’m making for a new, interactive kids’ app coming out at Night & Day Studios. We’re shooting for a release date in late February/early March and I’m having a hard time suppressing my excitement! Did I mention I collaborated on the music for this app with Chris Funk, Jenny Conlee-Drizos and Annalisa Tornfelt? Did I mention it’s awesome? Really can’t wait to share it.
Seth and I have a record coming out February 7th and we’ve launched a new website where you can pre-order the LP, listen to select tracks and stay current with The Golden Bears. Have a look and link to our facebook page to find out about upcoming shows, videos and all of Seth’s and my adjacent projects. (This photo was taken by Melody Owen & styled by Tasha Zack.)
I’m so delighted to be collaborating with my friends at Night & Day Studios. As if plucked from my list of dream jobs, I’m getting to illustrate and record music for three apps with this wonderful Portland company. Right now, we’re in production for the first app. But it’s truly a family operation at Night & Day, and consequently, our little household has contributed all sorts of things to the thoughtful, well-designed apps this creative house is generating. Check out all their apps to find music composed and performed by Seth and my first effort at voiceover. But perhaps my favorite app right now is an adaptation of Ed Emberley’s classic kids’ book, “Go Away Big Green Monster.” Through surprisingly little coaching, my daughter narrated a version of the story … and she killed it. Enjoy!
Congratulations to our friends at Night & Day and thanks for this treasure.
A distinguished pioneer among West Coast chrysanthemum fanciers, Dr. Ira Cross casts an affectionate eye over the small garden he has tended for more than 30 years in Berkeley, CA. He bred the anenome types at lower left named Lady Blanche, for his wife.
Mrs. Irving Fraim of Waltham, Massachusetts, who has been raising day lilies for more than 25 years, holds a few of the 300-odd varieties that flourish in her garden.
In a shaded corner of her Bethesda, Maryland, garden, Dr. Gwendolyn Wood examines some of the spider chrysanthemums that have won her a number of awards. She is particularly fond of Miss Atlanta, a spider type shown at the upper left-hand corner.
