CTA installation project opening February 16th!
January 31 2013
I am over the moon excited for this project! I'm headed back to Chicago for this opening on February 16th from 7-10 pm at the gorgeous Rational Park gallery at 2557 W North Ave. Come see my five newest works created specifically for the CTA and Damen Blue Line stop, in conjunction with Johalla Projects. These compositions echo the beauty and mystery of the past, while the collage component creates an almost dark or bewitching element. These sacred circles draw heavily upon ancient energies to form a sacred space, providing a meditative form of magical protection, rich with spiritual significance. The reception will feature prints and t-shirts of the original works being exhibited, as well as the original pieces that will be installed at the Blue Line stop available for sale.

Love in a Void
January 7 2013
I'm doing a show with my friend forever Matt Skiba. We've done this before but never quite like this. For "Love in a Void" Matt created these beautiful color scapes in gauche that I have collaged. It's a one night only event and the amazing January Hunt will be our special guest DJ. 1/26/13 from 7-10 pm The HiFi bar 169 Ave A NYC

Summer. Hmph. Whatever, I've been seeing lots of black snakes in the garden and that's a sign of good luck.
I have three collages in Augment, a group show by Catalyst Arts in Belfast, Ireland which runs the better part of this August. I'm working on a new series of mixed media pieces for a solo show this October with The Johalla Project which I'm so excited for! The Snake Faced Woman, above, is a work in progress.

Here is a freshly laundered shirty...

...it's better to be clean than dirty! Or is it? Well it won't exactly matter since you'll look so cool either way that no one is going to notice much else. The two undebatable theories at work here are that A. pentagrams make the most wonderful letter O's and B. magic happens when a couple of babes get into it with some triangles.

...you guys totally cleaned me out! The store is practically empty which is great since I am a clean slate kind of gal. You've all helped pave the way for some new digs coming soon. I'm making a sick shirt from the piece "Our Temple, Your Tomb" (see above image) which I originally made for the "Supernatural? Perhaps" show w/Steak Mtn this last summer in Los Angeles. I've also got some prints in the works that'll be done by the inimitable Rick Leech in Chicago. Also, I got my hands on some more of those darling ruffled saucers so expect some more of them in my Etsy store next week. I'm currently jacked on caffeine, finishing some pieces for a group show that will be opening in a couple wks, I'll post the details when I finish the work.

So, what's new?
December 3 2011
Well, I'm about to start working on a new website. I just put almost everything in the store on sale (like 50% off on sale) and added my latest pieces to it as well. I've got a big project in the works, I'll share more when it's a sure thing. I just took down the Halloween decorations. So sad. Oh well, have to make way for the Satanic manger scene. AH ha hahaha ha (evile laughter) hahaha ha!

Alkaline Trio design retrospect looms near on the horizon!
September 14 2011
So, one of the best things that ever happened to me was falling in with a few fellows way back when. It led me around the world many times, to a career in design, to countless awesome friends and to my husband. If someone told me that any of those things would have happened when I was selling their demo tape at the Fireside Bowl in 1997 I'd most likely not have believed it. Anyways, it's been 15 years of working with them, although it's not been like work, hanging with my best friends all over the place on tour for 10 years was by far the best way to spend my 20's. The only thing that makes the 15 years seem like a plausible timeframe are the heaps of designs I'm staring down in front of me. Over 100 xeroxed, sharpie, glue sticked monsters! Anyhow, I'm finally doing something with them, they've been in a folder forever but come October 7th they're going up in an installation at Johalla Projects in Chicago. The show includes a book of all the designs, prints of 10 of the most favorite designs of the band and I and the installation of the originals. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have!

2011 Heather Forecast
February 11 2011
I've got two shows planned so far, so psyched for both. First, "Supernatural? Perhaps." will be a deathly duo of epic proportions! I'm doing this split show with pal, ripper, radster Steak Mtn at POVevolving gallery in Los Angeles this July. Work will consist of his righteous right on drawings and my dreamscape lady obsession collages in this vein...
We also have plans to collaborate on a limited edition something or other and also to turn the back room of the gallery into an all encompassing abyss of the work for the many bands we've both done commercial work for including sketches, originals, works in progress etc.
Then in October I'm planning a limited edition retrospective book of ALL the Alkaline Trio designs I've done over the past 15 years which will coincide with the band's 15 year anniversary. The release/exhibit of the original art for all of the shirts, records, flyers, posters,and such will be at the Johalla Project gallery in Chicago. Hopefully I can find all that stuff, it's a xerox copy mountain of red and black nightmares right now but I hope to turn it into something a little more presentable for posterity. Wish me luck!

Wild Card opens this Friday in Chicago!
September 29 2010
Here is my piece for the show. I did The Devil...obviously! Anyhow, I'm really excited for this, curating is awesome. Can't wait to see the end result of everyone's hard work. Here are the particulars, and ps. Tarot reader at the opening. Time to get mystical!

group exhibition based on the Tarot Card Deck

After looking through various designs of Tarot decks throughout its long history, we thought it would be interesting to invite a group of contemporary artists to share their interpretations of these mystical cards. Inspired by Carl Rohrig, a German painter renowned for his beautifully crafted deck, imagination is key. Each artist has chosen one of the 21 Major Arcana cards and recreated it based on their skill set and aesthetic.
