Maori Map Drawing
It always feels good when one of my drawings finds a new home. I’m thrilled to be shipping this depiction of a Maori Carving (on a map of New Zealand) to it’s new owner in Chicago. You can view a collection of my map drawings here!

Walls are Un-American
Here's a little meditation on symbols. Without a doubt, the American bald eagle is a powerful representation of the freedom which America stands for. In contrast, the current U.S. president is glorifying the idea of building a "big beautiful wall" - which would run along our southern border with Mexico. To my mind, a project of such monumental proportion would create a different sort of symbol for the United States. I would argue that walls are completely incongruous with the freedom our country so proudly promotes. Please check out more illustrations at my new site!
