We were on Art Gab PDX

Fun chatting with artist, Kendra Larson and designer, Ashley Larson, who co-host a podcast called "Art Gab". Check-out my interview and others at http://stumptowncreative.com/episode-32-quin-sweetman (or click link in title)

Of course, my favorite recent episode they did was on my hero, painter Emily Carr, but I am honored to have also been on the show. Kendra and Ashley are sisters and I so appreciate their relationship and banter about art and general life in the Northwest environment.

Badger & Coyote’s curious partnership illustrated

My first book illustration!

A friend of mine asked me to do sketches to illustrate her prose about the curious partnership between badgers and coyotes. This was quite a challenge but I worked to keep the sketches simple as this phenomenon, noted originally in American Indian folklore, is rarely seen by humans so images are scarce. Much had to be imagined to place them together and on the Columbia Plateau in our region of the Pacific Northwest.
