Glim
One of three tiny bottles I found at a town dump in Vermont some years ago. Their origin remained a mystery until I did a recent Google search and discovered that Glim was an early dishwashing liquid first manufactured in the 1940s.

Scrapyard
This is my contribution to the PORTES exhibit which will open soon at SPACE Gallery. I began drawing from a photo of a local scrapyard, remaining fairly faithful to the original, but added the cartoonish seagull image on the side of the building at the end. I thought it needed some fading signage from years past.

My scanner and computer aren't communicating with each other right now so in lieu of a drawing I thought I'd post a link to this most amazing short film I found by way of my new favorite blog.
