The past couple of weeks have been been pretty intense since we moved to our new house - lots of cleaning, installing new appliances and ripping out ugly flooring. Plus, I caught a cold, Jesse got a root canal, my Fall semester class started, and am still trying to wrap up this book illustration project.
In the midst of all of that, I've been trying to explore my new neighborhood. I like that I'm still finding hidden corners of the city after living in Philadelphia for six years. My favorite discovery is this mural tiled to the wall of a small park. It's not so much, the mural itself, but the bold tile colors and the matching roofs behind it.

The Blogher auction for my drawing to benefit the gulf coast started this afternoon and will continue through September 10th.

The piece is 14 x17 inches, created with charcoal and acylic paint on thick bristol paper. If you're interested in expanding your art collection while contributing to a good cause, you can view the ebay auction here. I'll warn you the photo they put up isn't the best.
