meet me at the park

happy birthday tootsie!

A piece about companies investing in their employees so that they always trying keep their 'gas tank half full.' Go magazine for Oct '08.

so, what's been up?

Compared to how things use to be during school, I feel like I have finally been able to live to the fullest extent over the last few weeks. Things have been busy but pretty awesome!










my two chicas from highschool came to visit.

went all over except down in the sewer to highfive the rats.

then one of my work friends had a bon appetit photo shoot at her place. Her and her husband will be having a 6 page spread in the holiday issue out in nov/dec. The theme was old world glamour, so we all got out our gloves, furs, glitzy holiday dresses to play the part. Look for me!!!!!! My red high heels might make the cut into the magazine.











It was interesting to see how the stylist set up everything from the different plates to the fabric napkins with embroidery to the equally-thick sliced bread. As well as seeing the makeup artist go to work and the hairdresser who made everyone look 'old-world glamour' fabulous.

An Ode to Color

I find that I am in a red phase now. I open my closet and a good majority of it is red, red with polka dots, red with stripes, it's more of a tomato red, like the red of your first tube of red lipstick when you are a freshman in highschool, when you don't know any better but then realize it when you look back at those dance photos once you are in college. Anyways, seems like a lot of people are wearing more color these days:

It's all about 'callah' here in new york this time of year.

From the sartorialist
He is a genious. His blog is an inspiration and helps when i have to draw people with up-to-date clothes. The pictures are impeccable and the people are gorgeous.










This is total deliciousness.

This is genious, palettes inspired by the genious.

This Thursday was my sis Amy's birthday. Woohoo! and I wanted to make it extra special since she just moved out here from Cleveland. We are doing it ghetto-fabulous style up in Harlem. Here are some pics from her special day:

Time Out New York

This was a really fun piece I did last week for Time Out New York. It is about different bars in the city that have board games. Researching old boardgames was wayy too much fun, which brought back a lot of good memories.

They put up my Tricky Wiki illo online here at GO magazine.

Sometimes, I wish I could go back to when I was in 8th grade and went to our Catholic school 'Mixers'.



If anyone knows where I can find some striped leggings like hers in the video, tell me asap.

New Work

I got inspired from reading an article in the New York Times about how some newly minted gay marriages have ended in divorce. I wanted to make an image that could be read both ways, similar to my queen of hearts playing card.

I also updated the site with oodles of new work, well 5 new pieces, some of which have been on my blog already, but it's updated. So don't dawdle, and go look at it :)
