Also, I'm working on a piece for Girl's Life magazine. More on that coming soon!

i've been working on this one for a while, my tribute to the late CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. in the end i went with the final image being black and white, which really just made the image stronger overall. cheers to Steve, the Saint of Gadgets!

Michele Bachmann as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (clockwise from bottom: Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman), or as i like to call it: the Republican Madhouse. this was done for Square Carousel's "Fairy Tale with a Twist" challenge, and i just couldn't help myself. also, i did think i needed some more political figures in my portfolio. hello, New York Times?
see the full size image in my portfolio.
the October/November issue of BUST magazine is finally out!

the article is about how brides have been portrayed negatively in television in film lately, and how bridesmaids are the ones we seem to identify with. i got my copy in the mail last week - it looks great!
overall, a really fun illustration to work on. thanks, BUST!

this was a fun project for my boyfriend's (illustrator/painter Britt Spencer) kickball team, the "Sissy Babies." i hand-lettered the text, inked it in, and then vectorized and smoothed out the lines in Illustrator. logo work is something i'm trying to work more of into my portfolio. AND it's always really cool to see my stuff on products!
Britt screenprinted the logo onto the shirts - i think the red on pink looks amAAAzzzinggg. today was the team's first game of the season; everybody looked great in their shirts!! GOOO SISSY BABIES!!!
the last challenge over at Square Carousel was to submit a piece for They Draw and Travel, a super cool collection of illustrated maps from around the world.

Last July my cousin had the most beautiful wedding in Hawaii. I wanted to do something special for her that was also Hawaiian-themed.

Alsooo, my Wilfred illustration is receiving some recognition! Jason Gann (who plays Wilfred on the FX show) currently has the illustration as his Facebook profile picture. How cool is that?? Talk about a day-maker! Thank you, Jason!!

one of my favorite new shows on TV is FX's new show Wilfred, starring Elijah Wood and Jason Gann. also, it helps that Elijah has been my celebrity crush since i was a kid.
