It's Ok My Dear Web Launch

Ashley of It's Ok My Dear launched her new website yesterday! I had the pleasure of working with her on the series of illustrations for her line and I'm delighted to see them used on the web as well as in print. Keep an eye on her!

Home is where the laundry is free...

This is my submission for the "this is home" project, "a visual exploration of the concept of 'home,' across continents, oceans and neighborhoods." from Design for Mankind

After spending the entire afternoon in a laundromat that smelled like diapers, this phrase hit home especially hard.

Home is where the laundry is free...

New Exciting Things

I haven't forgotten about you! Many new exciting things in the mix, stay tuned.

The Golden Girls

I might be in love with The Golden Girls (shh). So the lovely Carolyn of Barf Sandwich asked for a golden girls inspired illustration for the next issue. While doing some google image research, (cough and watching the whole first season) I found out that Bea Arthur has a cult following, many of which like to paint her in the nude. shocking.

Pet Fox

I moved into a new apartment this weekend! I'm officially exhausted, but much relieved to be in a new neighborhood .Here's a happy drawing to new beginnings.

Creepy Baby Sketch

This confirms that babies are not just smaller humans. See very creepy baby above. Proof.

Climbers

Climb!

Blanket Magazine:The Consumer Issue

Get the latest Blanket Magazine Issue, it's fantastic. Plus you can see my work on page 44. (!)

A Bit of Magic to Start the Weekend

Moving Sale on Fishes

I'm packing up to move to a new place, and am holding a moving sale! I reposted my Giant Swedish Fish Pillows on Etsy with FREE SHIPPING in the US and discounted for the rest of the world. Go get em, there are only a handful left.

We Are the Friction

I got this fantastic book in the mail today all the way from the UK! It's made by the duo Sing Statistics which is a collaboration between Lizzy Stewart and Jez Burrows. Get yourself a copy ASAP.

Our Portland Story

I've been working with Melissa Delzio on her fantastic Our Portland Story Book Project. It's a collaboration of many different designers and writers all portraying their personal stories about Portland. I recently illustrated a poem written by Miriam Feder. This is the new progress update, my page is top right. I can't wait to see this whole process appear in print!

Baltimore Fieldtrip

Giant Flamingo on the street!
We took a Saturday morning walk to the farmers market and got things to make delicious dinner, and went by the Book Thing, which is a free bookstore, on the way back. It's awesome! I got a book on kangaroos, some kids books with excellent illustrations and a book on planets and cactus.
Sketchbook page of super bright kangaroos! All in all, excellent trip away from the city for a day.

Sketchbook Love

I started a BRAND NEW! sketchbook last week. The early pages are full of things from space, the science kid in me is nerding out and looking up all sorts of solar extravaganzas. More to come.

Boy Meets Girl, Girl Brings Space Tote Bags

I've been a busy bee as of lately. Yesterday I printed a small run of tote bags! They have a modified version of the "Boy Meets Girl, Girl Brings Space" Illustration on them, and are available in my Etsy Shop

Boy Meets Girl, Girl Brings Space

Shen Plum Print!

I got this lovely print in the mail yesterday! It's a piece from illustrator Shen Plum, I saw it on Wanderlust 333 and had to have it! I like the wolf, he's got spooky eyes.

Moon

Enjoying drawing moons and what I imagine space looks like. This is on an A3 size paper, which is a bit bigger than I had been working, I like it. This is the start of something good.

Candy Shop Adventure

Sprinkles!

The stairs were filled with gummy sharks, dinosaurs, and fruit. Crazy.

Yesterday, Ashley and I went on a Candy Shop Adventure! To Dylans in NYC. It's 3 whole floors of candy, they seriously have everything. I tried to get as many different shapes and textures as possible and then spent last night scanning and photographing them. Which resulted in me having to windex my scanner, gummies melt faster than you'd think.

I'm not sure what type of illustration project will come of this but for now It's taking all of my willpower to not eat my goodies until they are all drawn up. De-licious.

Worn Crush Interview

I'm inteviewed on the Worn Fashion Journal Blog! Take a look see

ETSY Overhaul

New batch of Giant Stuffed Swedish Fish Pillows is done! It's a limited edition of 12 fish.

Original Illustrations from the Open Studios Exhibition are up. These are A5 size originals, there are no prints.

Heart Shaped Glasses T-Shirts. I hand screenprinted each of these in bright pink. They are quite awesome. (White + Grey)

And....Greeting Cards Galore. I went a little crazy and ordered a bunch of greeting card stock so I could make tons of cards to send out to people. These are each one-of-a-kind, hand made, hand illustrated, and full of awesome. They each come with an envelope.

I also updated my Etsy Banner, and the rest of the shop. Take a look here

Winter Wishing

I'm ready for winter. Who's with me!?
An unfortunate hazard of being freakishly pale is the instantaneous sunburn. I've now experienced summer, it can go home now. Bring on the sweaters, and tea, fluffy blankets and polar bears.

Wish I could have been there!

Anti-Bubble Boy

I like this little kid, no idea who he is. Strangers have the best photographs.

Studio Exhibition

hello.



The opening was fun, and awkward, and surreal. Marshmallows were served, people were nice, and friendly faces abundant.

Show Preview

I created a mini fairytale land in my space, it's lined with a hundred hand painted and cut out watercolored hearts. The main wall is chock full of drawings like these, ranging from teeny tiny to huge. The opening is tonight 6-9PM 141 W21st Street, 4th floor. You'll know which space is mine! Please stop by and introduce yourself!
