The Clipper Ship Tea Company

UPDATE - Snow Monkey Holiday cards available HERE

I recently began a collaboration with The Clipper Ship Tea Company.  My artwork is being used as the inspiration for the creation of a series of new teas. 3 teas have been created so far.

Snow Monkey - a delicate Japanese sencha green tea blended with soothing lavender, warm vanilla and sweet blueberries, inspired by the famous Japanese Hot Springs in Nagano.

Tiger's Chai - a majestic Indian Darjeeling Black Tea blended with bold Indian spices, delicate aromatic flowers and rich notes of vanilla. An elegant and aristocratic tea that celebrates India and it's majestic Bengal tigers.

Elephant's Teacup - A brisk Ceylon Black Tea blended with Sri Lankan cinnamon and tropical island fruits.  A finely balanced tea that is a perfect harmony of sweet and spiced. This noble tea blend pays homage to the peaceful and tranquil beauty of Sri Lanka.  

13x19" giclée prints, blank greeting cards and fridge magnets all available HERE

Ode to Geek


How many Geek references can you spot?! 89 in all! When I was first asked to create a print for the Generation Geek gallery show in Bourges, France for Geek-Art, I was surprisingly stumped. Not because I couldn't think of what to do, but because there were too many options. The theme was Geek History from the past to the present, a pretty open topic, so... where to start?! My initial thought was to involve Godzilla. Then I decided to draw just a few more of my favorite characters from science fiction and fantasy from the last century; from books, comic books, cartoons, movies, video games etc. - the ones that inspired and wowed me from childhood to today.
You know, just a few. Then it got personal. What happened next was this, a print depicting my own geek history, my ODE to GEEK.

**** NOTE: There are 9 characters of my own creation filtered throughout the piece. If you can find 'em all, by process of elimination I suppose, message me, describe them, tell me where they are & you shall get a prize! :)
