Liz Cleaves Illustration is hitting the Oregon Trail

Greetings All

Yesterday I started on an adventure. I'm leaving Pennsylvania and driving two thousand eight hundred eighty eighty miles to Portland Oregon. My co-pilot is my cousin Al,  a fearsomely handsome New Yorker, who when speaks women swoon and men nod their heads in approval. 

Together we shall share the highways with truckers, drink ungodly amounts of old burnt gas station coffee, eat our way though america's local dinning establishment's grease, race each other across the Great Salt Flats and will be able to boss anyone in the 

"what states have you visited?"game. 

The Studio is temporally halted due to its all squeezed in the back of my car, tighter then a 1800's century corset. Commission work will presume again July 29th.  So keep those ideas fresh in your mind and shoot me an email. I will get back to you as soon as I can. Please know that your project will be started as soon as the studio is unpacked, up and running. 

 I invite you follow along with the adventure though Instagram and Twitter.

Just want to also say thanks to the peeps who totally support me and encouraged though this huge endever, Mom, Jerry, Alex, Hannah & Mat, Fink, Luann, Michelle, Ja'quan/Jed, Velardi, Francos, 

Uncle Roger & Yeager

See you guys on the other side.
