A new blog, a new brand that aspires to be creative, involved, and relevant to our world.

Wild Howl Studio started as fun, amusing drawings that inspired me to develop them into illustrations and expand upon an idea that is larger than my sketchbook, and as one of the results, I'm beginning this blog. I'm excited to make this a collection about design, products, learning, and inspiration.

I was living in New Orleans about 10 years ago and I had been working on a small series of animals with a graffiti underlayment to the style. At the time I was exploring all different types of street art around the world, and I guess being from Southern California I was acutely aware of the visual importance of tags, murals, and graffiti to the environment. The colors, the boldness, and the impact. I decided then that I would begin to create my own characters to tell a story.

Just prior to that I had been teaching Junior High and High School art + design and I wanted to continue the ability to educate through art even though I was no longer teaching. It was one of the many joys that I’ve had to be able to see young people inspired by art.

It's my hope to delight in creativity and build a community that desires to be aware of our surroundings and additionally folds in our imaginations. Thanks for connecting with Wild Howl Studio - send us a note sometime!
