American Illustration 32

I am super-duper excited to inform you all that one of my pieces will be included in the upcoming American Illustration 32 annual! The piece that was selected is the Lizard Queen illustration I created for Ten Paces and Draw's 2012 fashion swap. I owe much gratitude to this year's AI judges and to Alyssa and Rachel of Ten Paces for asking me to participate!

Bells & Whistles

Hello all! I did an illustration for the Bells & Whistles column in this month's Plansponsor magazine.

The subject is the Lizard Queen, a character I came up with for a Ten Paces and Draw fashion challenge. I imagine this as a sort of prequel image. Here she is younger and recently crowned and has not yet taken on her queenly responsibilities.  

The August Plansponsor is on newsstands NOW and is chock-full of great illustration. Big thanks to art director SooJin Buzelli! 

Ten Paces Prints on Society 6

Howdy-do? I've been meaning to blog about these pieces I did for Ten Paces and Draw for a while. In reverse chronological order:

A portrait of classical composer Antonio Vivaldi for the "musician portraits" theme (based on a sketch by Francesca Buchko)....

...The Roots lyrics for the "hand letters" theme 

(based on a sketch by Rachel Dougherty)....

...And a ghost story for the "summer camp" theme (based on a sketch by Jimmy Malone).

ALSO, Ten Paces now has an online shop at Society 6! There's lot's of great stuff on there, including two illustrations I'm affiliated with: the piece below and the piece my pal Nick did based on my escaped zoo animal sketch.

I'm on page 22 of this week's City Paper! I was asked to do a recipe illustration for a cheap but tasty prosciutto, peach, and mozzarella salad.

This colored spot appears on the website:

And here's a close up of the ingredients:

Big thanks to Joe at City Paper! If you're in Baltimore and want to see the recipe in print be sure to pick up a copy of City Paper before Wednesday!

Guess What?

I'm a college graduate!

Yay!

The studio I shared with Julianna this year is all packed up and no more (goodbye, Strutting Leo!)....

...and I'm ready for my future!

I've been so busy this semester and still have so much to show you! For starters, here are two projects from my Maps class:

A map of Harajuku surrounded by examples of popular street fashions....

...And one of Cuba with a close-up of Havana!

I still have some information I would like to add to these but I'm pretty happy with them so far!

Big thanks to everyone who came to my commencement show (especially those of you who came far out of your way!) and to all my well-wishers! I really appreciate your support!
