  • Commemorative Bike Poster, Papergirl SF 2012
    This commemorative bike print was created for Papergirl SF 2012. Designed by Heather Tompkins and Nazir Agah and printed at Logos Graphics by John Sullivan and crew, it combines metallic screen print, letterpress, and glow in the dark screen print.

    Papergirl brings together artists and cyclists in celebration of creation, sharing, and San Francisco's rich artistic culture. At its core, the bike represents the combination of the incredible art and bike passion that pervades the participants and supporters of the project. It serves as a reflection on what drives us to create, share, and ride those two wheels everyday.

  • Cast Anatomy
    My good friend and illustrator extraordinaire, Taylor White, bit it in what some would describe as an epic acrobatic gravity defying swan-dive into the Norwegian snow via snowboard. The end result was a broken wrist and 8 weeks recovery time. It just so happened that this feat occurred the week before she was due for a visit to the U.S of A. I was thusly wrangled into making this old school plaster cast into an awesome work of art.
