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

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

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.

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!

Magic Sneak Peek

This is a sneak peek of what I've been working on. These are two teensy pieces in a HUGE series of works on paper.

OKAY Issue 3

I received Okay Issue 3 in the mail yesterday all the way from Australia. Laura McKellar is the darling who makes it. Each page is loose and printed on a different type of paper, texture , transparency. She included some awesome metallic stickers, and a handwritten note that just sent me through the roof. This is hands down the coolest thing that has come in the post. I'm hooked. Find it here

Anteater for Ashley

Anteater for Miss Ashley of "It's ok my dear" if you haven't seen her work, you should check her out right here

Goats in Bakersfield

YES!
I'm at SVA for the month of June doing a Painting Residency, which is beyond fantastic. Having a studio is such a nice change from doing everything from a corner in my apartment. I've been doing tons of painting, but equally as much illustration work, mostly to postpone the painting, and am coming across a crisis of materials. These two mediums exist entirely separate, do I have to pick one? I think no. I'm having fun rotating the two, and have decorated my space with drawings of Walruses, Mountain Goats, and Fairy Tales.

Walrus and Mystic Babies

I would love to illustrate a substantial book of mini stories
This is "Walrus and Mystic Babies". This is the silly story I wrote about it:

One day two children came across a walrus on their journey into the mountains. They walrus was so friendly, the children jumped up and down in delight. As if by magic they became suspended mid jump. They were mystic babies! The walrus swooned in love with his newfound magical friends. The End.
