I haven’t really been drawing much this week. I did an illustration for the Portland Mercury that can be seen in SUPER TINY VISION!!! in the photo, but that’s about it. I’ll post a more detailed shot of it on Thursday when the issue comes out. I’ve also been finishing up my part of a three-piece collaborative work for a show in July. It’ll be very different from my usual stuff, but I’ll have to wait until July to show you more. Anyways, the photo above is actually to show something else that’s super rad, the first steps toward my prototype for a plush robot series. If you can’t tell, the neck, arms, and legs are made from bicycle tire innertubes. Hooray for recycling.

I’ve also put a lot of work into the cigarbox ukelele I am making for my summer math class. I keep forgetting to bring my camera to class, so here is a shot from my phone’s camera. It’s really coming together, and check out those sweet mother-of-pearl dot inlays! I venture that I may in fact be finished with the uke by the time some of you are reading this. All I have left is to drill and install the tuners, attach the bridge, and slap some strings on it. I will post happy shots of me playing it later this week hopefully.

And a detailed shot of one of the sound holes and fretboard.
