Hello out there!!  I'm having the best time working on some illustrations for a cookbook by my pal Natalie of Bake and Destroy!  Our shared love of food and wrestling makes us an excellent team for a project like this.  The book is currently available for pre-order from Amazon.  Natalie recently had these great portraits taken by photographer Sean Dorgan, in an awesome dress by On The Trashy Side, made out of pizza fabric I also designed!  I will be releasing some new kitchen-centric products in my own shop in conjunction with the book's release, so stay tuned!  So many exclamation points!  It's exciting!

lucky number 2013!

happy new year everyone!  the paintings above are the fourth in what has become an annual project creating holiday portraits of my aunt & uncle.  i'm sifting through the holiday debris here at Betty Turbo HQ and warming up for a fun new year of projects.  i'll be rolling out new Valentine designs shortly, adding to my especially nerdy repertoire for Portland Comic Con at the end of February, and preparing instructional materials and samples for a plush sewing event to do with kids over spring break! 

what's on the menu for you this year?

hello out there, friends of Betty Turbo who for some reason don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook, or art fans trolling the interwebs for burgers and bears!  i've just hung eleven original paintings at The Hazel Room in Portland, Oregon.  so stop in for some DELICIOUS brunch, a cozy warm beverage, or to pick up a dope piece of art for someone mega special on your holiday shopping list!  meet some of my tribe of magcial friends like Burger Bear and Pizza Wolf.  tell 'em Betty Turbo sent ya.

getting in holiday mode around here!  you know what that means, lots of pizza and ice cream, as opposed to the rest of the year when... yeah nevermind.

holiday madness begins!

the holiday season sweatshop feeling has begun as my batches of new fabric roll in!  the S'Morrissey pillow and my new tea towel calendar are the first goodies i've prepared!  bon appetit!
