FEED the kids, and look cool doing it!
At the Chelsea Whole Foods Market, located on Fashion Avenue, Heather, in charge of the Marketing Team, put together a "Project Runway"-esque challenge for students at FIT. The idea was to create outfits out of FEED 100 bags, and other Whole Foods Market reuseable bags. And the results were stunning! I created the window clings and designer info signage, while my co-artist Graham got his skinny butt down in the windows to set up the dress forms.
The FEED 100 bag is special, because if you use it not only does it cut down on paper & plastic bag waste– a huge problem, but it also provides 100 meals to hungry kids in Rwanda. I know times are tough here right now, but people in places like Rwanda have had it way worse for a lot longer, and these kids just want some square meals.
So come check out the window display along Seventh Avenue and 24th Street, get a FEED 100 bag for you or someone you love, save some trees
and look cute– although probably not as cute these awesome outfits. (To see them all click

Just some quick girly studies I've done recently. The cocktail girls were done with copic markers, and the bride is a watercolor (I may re-scan. It's hard to get all the nuances of watercolor when scanning.) Fashion, flowers and pinks...
This is a sketch/study I did on my train ride home (it's nice when the commute is a little productive!) of a zombie woman inspired by Margaret Atwood's novel The Blind Assassin. (Thanks, Michelle!) I love Atwood because her stories have interesting sci-fi elements but are also very grounded in reality. She uses sci-fi in the best way, to show us truth about our society and where it could be headed.
Well, at least technically. It was the official first day of summer a few days ago, and July 4th is coming up fast, so the weather needs to catch up with the rest of us in NYC and provide some fun in the sun! I am super-excited to start using our new yard and new Weber grill.
I recently created a business card for my friend Chris Fox, a personal trainer and fitness coach in Brooklyn. While it can sometimes be difficult working with friends, I think Chris & I are both very happy with the result– which is what really counts. Plus, the best part for me is that in exchange for my graphic design skills, I am getting some complimentary consultations with the talented fitness coach. It's a win-win!
