Photos from the studio & new textiles.

Just a few shots from the studio last week taken by a buddy who was visiting me. I purchased some new textiles that you can see in the first photo.

I was absolutely touched to have been asked to do such a sentimental act, especially for someone who I lived with in Chicago when I was 19 years old. A new & … Continue reading Recently in the Bird Trouble Studio.

I’ve been loving it … Continue reading IN THE BIRD TROUBLE STUDIO
