Last week I had the privilege of illustrating Roxane Gay’s piece The Year I Learned Everything for Rookie Mag.
I loved Roxane’s piece and really loved illustrating this. Rookie ended up just using the first image, however, I loved the piece so much I created 2 additional images that went unused (the second and third)
Oh, and Roxane has a tumblr, be sure to check her and her writing out!

Zhangye Danxia
The Zhangye Danxia is a unique landform found in China. The mountain range seems to be made of candy-bright stripes of different sedimentary rock layers that have been forced upwards and carved down by time, revealing slices of Earth’s colorful past.
This little piece is part of the Light Grey Art Lab show Macro & Micro (Minerals category), which will be opening this Friday in Minneapolis, MN. Check out the site for more info. You can also buy this print or any of the other pieces in the show HERE! I am floored by all the awesome art that was made for this show, and really honored to just be a part of one of LGAL’s awesome exhibitions!

Come explore the natural world, the mysterious formations, and curious imagery at Light Grey Art Lab’s newest exhibition: Macro + Micro!
Ninety international artists celebrate their inner scientist to present a magnified look into the curious lives and existences of microscopic species, crystalline minerals, poisonous plants, and unidentified growths in order to create a sense of discovery and learning. Divided into four categories: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, and Everything Else, Macro + Micro tries to give a glimpse into as many corners of the natural world as possible.
