Beginnings of an Apartment Zoo

"Carabou and Birds" are kicking off the illustrated Zoo. What could be more fun than an apartment that houses a zoo?! I wish I still had the wire animal farm I made in college.

Day Glo Waffles for a Day Glo Day. Happy Weekend!

Swedish Fish Bunny Waffle

So I was google searching "Swedish Fish" because I've been expanding my Swedish Fish pattern designs, and this came up! Is this not the funniest ad ever? (At the bottom it says "A friend you can eat" it was made by JWT in New York. The whole series is just hilarious. It makes me want a bunny, and a waffle, and a Swedish Fish....

I See You. Yes You.

Happy Tuesday!

Cornelia Hediger

I went back to take down the NY Photo show last night, and got to wander through the exhibitions before they closed. These pieces were utterly striking in person. They're from the series Doppelgänger by Cornelia Hediger She is represented by the Klompching Gallery at 111 Front Street in DUMBO. Have a look at her work, it's beautifully executed, and has a great deal of dark wit. It's refreshing.

Girls in Glasses

This is the start of something HUGE and AWESOME. I've been working on a new painting series that combines natural formations of cellular structures with more concrete portraits. These are some sketches starting the kick off of my "Girls in Glasses" painting series. The first painting is nearing it's "ready to show other people" stage, and the rest of the series seems to be following suit. I'm excited, you?

NY Photo Show

I spent Tuesday helping hang the NY Photo show down in the Old Tobacco Warehouse in DUMBO. The shows look fantastic! Above are some of the gems from our building among many beauties. It's worth a look. TOP: Matthew Porter BOTTOM: Kimiko Yoshida

Dinosaurs!

Yesterday I went to the Museum of Natural History, and spent a serious portion of my day playing in the land of taxidermy animals (which if you stop to think about it is rather creepy). I've never been to the NY one, and it was AWESOME, I spent forever in the room of biodiversity where they have thousands of different species of animals diagrammed. Then spent the remainder of the day drawing silly animals in my sketchbook and playing with the seriously awesome dinosaur stickers I got in the giftshop.

Sketchbook Revitalized!

It's been ages since I worked at all in my sketchbook. These are part 1 of it's revitalization. Hooray!

Gigantic Sewn + Stuffed Swedish Fish

AHH! I'm so excited. I finished sewing and stuffing these awesome little Swedish fish. They are plush double sided, illustrated and sewn Swedish fish pillows, though you can put them anywhere to have a good laugh. I am thrilled with how they turned out, and can't wait to make more. They are posted on my etsy shop, and if you're interested in a larger quantity please send me an email, I can make custom orders from a few fish to a whole school! Check out more pics below. Happy Sunday.
