something i did on the subway ride uptown today. i am coloring it now

Happy Mothers Day

How fitting that I would open an old pocket notebook to this drawing. I did it 2 years ago during midnight Christmas mass. The little boy behind us cracked me up with his statement. He said "Everyone is not that beautiful. Mom's beautiful though."

This is the piece I did for concepts that had to incorporate candy. I was inspired by the whole cupcake trend in the city and the claims of different bakeries saying that they indeed have the BEST cupcakes. Well, I just took it a little futher and made a fantasy land. A land where rabbits are guarding the Queen Cupcake and invite you to see her while it is raining sprinkles. Ideally it would be paired with an editorial piece about the search for the best cupcake in New York.

My website

It feels a little belated posting this, but the day has come. My website is up. I have just been making some tweaks to it over the past week, but it's up and running. Check it out:

Scotland Map

I picked up the new Adventure magazine with my Scotland map in it. I like the layout and color choices of the article it is for: The Forest in the Sky, a piece about the trees in Scotland.

Some Updates

I have a definite show going on this summer:

August 4th- September 8th 2007
located at Klatch Coffee Bar
Financial District
9-11 Maiden Lane (between Broadway and Nassau)

More details to follow as the date approaches.

Another update, the illustration juniors got our thesis theme for next year:

Global WarNing
"Your thesis should be a personal statement that addresses any global issue such as natural disasters, political upheaval, war, racism, genocide, etc."

I think I am heading in the direction of something environmental...time will tell.

Please pray for my grandmama. She had hip surgery as a result of a tragic fall.

Only 2 more weeks!!!!!
