This is me at my new job at the Museum.  Did you know Frank O'Hara sold postcards at MoMA?  You know what he did on his lunch breaks, too?

one of my illustrations got into the Society of Illustrators Comic and Cartoon Annual!

this sketch is dreams becoming real stuff.

Look at what my friend Lauren made about the crimes!

My friend Lauren's birthday was this week.  Which means I got to work with craft paper, tape, and sharpie.  Ooo!  I got to do some wrapping!  

I love (definitely more than I should) a flat piece of wrapping taking on the basic form of an object.  The shape of a gift!  The dimensions of giving, ya know?  A visual blurb!  Bye!

Ellipses Airlines!

These remind me of that woman who tweeted nasty, racist things before take-off.  Upon landing, she discovered her tweet had ruined her career. 

fly the friendly skies...!

My friend Lauren and I made this for our boss.  Cheers!

This is my Matisse exhibition-goer from the 80s, possibly early 90s.  

I joined a private tour of "Matisse: The Cut-Outs" at MoMA this week.  Got to see, up close, the vibrant, abstract scraps that became his world in his last decade.  I especially liked the pinholes left on each cut-out, the traces of his feverish snipping process over 60 years ago.

I saw Sam Waterston on the tour, too.

Ink and Merlot on Paper

so excited for the new year.  cheers!

scanned the produce before using it for ink stamps.

Got my tote that I designed for the Citizen Jane Film Festival!  The bag features mini-portraits of women in my life that inspire me.    

I'm so glad to have been a part of the festival again this year celebrating award-winning films and the women who make them.

NEW!
