First off, the lovely Lindsay and Caroline were kind enough to point out my artwork featured in the Art Strikes Back show was featured on the front page of the i09 blog last week! Feel free to check it out here!


Aside from that, my opening for the Post This! Rock Posters of the 90's show at the 242 space premiers this upcoming friday, December 11th. I hope you can make it! There is a PLETHORA of AMAZING work there - totally worth it to go!


Oh! And I got hired at the Whole Foods in Woburn as their Lead Sign Painter/Graphic Artist. I'm really excited about it!

Oilhead Tshirt Concept

Here's a tshirt design I'm working on for my friend's band Oilhead. Their band has really good energy - very upbeat, hip, trendy, with a good edge. All of the members are very level-headed and professional, and I can appreciate the technical background they've all come from.

So here's my first sketch for them, for a one- to two-color shirt print.

Thanks for looking!

Speakerdog: Series 6

So about a month ago, I spotted a request for artists to join Ben the Illustrator's new series of papercraft toys: Speakerdogs. I absolutely LOVE papercraft toys (see: the Papercraft Paradise blog), so I jumped at the opportunity to learn to make my own and have them printed. They accepted my submission and gave me almost two months to create my own Speakerdog papercraft toy.

I've taken this as a great opportunity to do something fun and simple, but with a little extra, because papercraft toys are great to look at, but more fun to build.

So look out for updates on my new toy! The series is set to premier July 31st - check out the other series at their site until then, featuring past artists such as Shin Tanaka, Fubear, Project Detonate and Ben the Illustrator himself. www.speakerdog.com

Promo keychains!! <3

Here's the design for my new promo keychains that I'll be handing out at my senior Portfolio night as well as selling on my etsy. All of the little white details will be beveled and engraved on super fluorescent green acrylic. The orange pieces will be adhered with epoxy, and the whole thing will be hung on a keychain! I'll probably wear one as a necklace for the show, or for forever. :D

The design is now off to New Zealand for manufacturing (I had to brush up on my Illustrator skills to get the templates all set up), and they should be here and ready to assemble in 3 weeks.

From initial design to cleaned up design: 1 hour.
Cleaned up design to Illustrator vector: 1 hour.
Illustrator vector to broken up pieces arranged on templates: 3 hours.
Cost of materials/shipping/labor: $182.53.

I'm so excited! With the money I saved on my business cards/postcards, I don't mind paying extra for these. :) The effort and the thought will shine through.



And there will be special edition pink ones too! Yay!
