I am Kate Bingaman-Burt and I am teaching stuff and making things in Portland, Oregon.
Slowly creeping towards reopening up my online store! Do you like how I do this after the holidays? I’m a professional 😎. However, I have lots of prints, pillows, zines and othe sundry items available IRL if you live in Portland. Swing by during @outletpdx open hours to peruse the selection. Above is a 11x14 risograph print, kelly green on light cream. Edition of ten. Printed on #barbaratheriso…
If ONLY @rupaulofficial would come to my @outletpdx opening tomorrow night. A girl can dream, can’t she?!? We made a bunch of these Ru-Nirvana-Courtney Love-Baby Bean prints to give away tomorrow night. Yellow food and brown beer will be available as well. 💛 #dwpdx (at Outlet)
Getting ALL of my pins together for Thursday night’s @wemakepdx #pinthatshit show. I think I’m gonna need a bigger jacket. ✨✌️✨ #dwpdx (at Tillamook Station)
Thanks to all who came to 2017 Design Week MainStage talks! I tried to draw all of our speakers, but I am pretty sure I missed a few (😬). What a great two days of listening and learning from these brilliant humans. Honored to host! On with the week! #dwpdx
Okay friends! @designweekpdx MainStage kicks off tomorrow with a two day event filled with 24 talks from brilliant designers, start-up founders, activists and educators sharing thier stories.

Just got a copy of @andyjpizza new book Creative Pep Talk. It’s a beauty of a book filled with a bunch of micro pep talks from some of my favorite people. Thanks for having me be a part of this project Andy! ✨⭐️✨
Adding some yellow rainbows to @outletpdx. Thanks to @willbryantplz for snapping this picture. Side note: I’m getting spoiled by how much I’ve gotten to see my buddy this month. Let’s keep this up, Will! 🌈✨🌈 (at Outlet)

Last panel was installed a few days ago in the @shopuvillage mural/construction wall project that I’ve been drawing on since January. Huzzah! ✏️ Speaking of construction stuffs…I’m heading over to my @outletpdx space this morning and I THINK it’s finally almost ready for me to move in this week! PS wish I really had cartoon hair. 💁🏻PPS I’m sure I just jinxed my move in time by announcing that I…
Possessed/Possessive/PIZAZZZ ✨Super visit with the #utprint crew just wrapped up tonight and headed back to@Portland tomorrow. What an amazing crew of students! Thanks again to @urban_jason and @laurabrownart for making my stay such a FUN one. Thanks to @annalaceyfields for this great shot of our collaborative zine (she also glued 100 googley eyes into our edition of 50 zines, so basically she’s a…
Tomorrow I am printing my work on the @ut_aah risograph. It prints two colors at one time. I’m in love! 😍#utprints (at The University of Texas at Austin)
Setting the table for my morning workshop. 🍴🌈 (at The University of Texas at Austin)
It’s been so fun drawing a few of my favorite objects at the @cardinalclub Which also happens to be my favorite bar. I did their logo earlier this year and am slowing creeping my drawings into other nooks and crannies as well. 🥃❤️ (at Cardinal Club)
Hey Austin, Texas! See you soon! Travel day today and workshop and crits with @urban_jason’s print students tomorrow! ⭐️ (at The University of Texas at Austin)
Whenever I do zine workshops I always bring a suitcase full of other people’s zines, but this time around I’m also adding a good grip of my own. The Obsessive Consumption zine series had ninety volumes and I am pretty sure I have at least one set intact. ⭐️
Prepping for my Austin trip and I was reminded of one of the MANY city/state themed tote bags illustrations I made for @madewell whenever they would open a new store (I think I made almost 40 of these?!) put me on your Trivia team. I have lots of facts because of this job. This is also where I first worked with Art Director @miriamblankenship ❤️🙌
I’m headed to the University of Texas-Austin on Sunday as a guest of @urban_jason and the printmaking program! Gonna workshop it up with some grads and undergrads and I also will be giving a public talk on Tuesday at 4pm in the art building. Thanks to Jason for making me this poster and thanks to @nicolecameraphone for that tremendous mug. See you soon Austin!

Ian is has has taught me a lot of things over the years and one of these things is that any helmet that isn’t a full faced…
I bought this shirt in 1997 for 25 cents at the Pink Door Thrift shop in Branson, Missouri. Oh look how ironic I am! I’m 20! And I’m wearing a shirt that says I’m 40! Hilarious! Today, my dear friend @zacharyschomburg turns 40. He was actually with me when I bought this shirt 20 years ago. In a few months I will be 40. I would like to officially declare that we are indeed feeling sporty. Happy…
Big thanks to Design Madison for having me speak this week! Also, I’m still dreaming about my epic cheese plate. 🧀⭐️🧀❤️ (at Madison, Wisconsin)
