FRIENDS OF FRIENDS: WORKS ON PAPER

I realized I haven't posted anything recently because I have forgotten to take pictures. Too wrapped up in making stuff!
Here are some, nearly finished, pieces for the upcoming show at the GARFO Gallery (click on current show to see the line-up) in Salt Lake City. The show is called Friends of Friends and features national and international artists who do works on paper.
This is my main piece. They are paper cutouts that I then watercolored and I will soon be mounting them on foam core.  The figure with the leopard in her mouth is about 6' tall.

The lighting in the room is kinda crappy, so the colors aren't quite true.
Also, some inspiration:

I am also in the process of making small, 8 fold zines for the show. Pictures to come soon!
