Bride

I just finished a little project for my friend Abby who just revamped her blog with a fresh wedding theme. I illustrated this bride and created a fun header for her.




Check out her fabulous blog (and my latest web project) here

Spring 2008 Chloe and Stella McCartney

Chloe & Stella are finished! Ink and color pencils on 11x14 water color paper.

Chloe & Stella

This is a fairly large (11x14) illustration that is in progress, but I thought I would give you a sneak peek! I have some line work and coloring to finish up, but Chloe(left) is wearing a look from Chloe's Spring 2008 collection, and Stella(right) is wearing a look from Stella McCartney's Spring 2008 collection...what else would they be wearing?

The illustration is somewhat similar to an illustration I gave my sister for Christmas. I like that "sisters" illustration better of course for obvious reasons, but also because it makes me laugh. I drew one sister a head taller than the other, and I find it amusing that people always assume that is the *older* sister when in my case my sister is 6 years younger than me and about 4/5/maybe 6? (oh god..I'm depressed just thinking about it) inches taller than me. These girls in the above illustration look more like frenemies...but isn't that always the way it is? :) Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Tulips

This is my second tulip painting (see my first one here) ...this time in brown and white. I finished the painting last night, and I'm happy with it.  It is slightly smaller than the first but is also done in acrylics! I feel like I'm getting stuff done...crossing things off my to-do list.  Now I'm off to help Abby with some wedding design related projects...more on that later!

Today It Snowed

Why winter decided to pummel NYC just when we were preparing for the end of February and the beginning of SPRING I will never know...









I'm glad I snapped these photos this morning (even though it was still snowing), because it RAINED and now there is only a slushy mess.




(Also, there was a shooting RIGHT outside my building, they haven't caught the guy, and even though I typically don't carry thousands of dollars (or even hundreds of dollars), I am terrified to leave...snow or no snow. Ahhh, just another day at the office. :))

You Are Beautiful

Gucci Spring 2008

Oh how I wish Spring was here! She is wearing a dress from Gucci's Spring 2008 Collection. Love the tiny bit of yellow and the large graphic flower! Now if only I could afford to buy this dress myself...hmm

Saturday Afternoon Polaroids

Tim and I took Sophie out east this weekend, you know so she could run around and do beagle things...like play fetch, chase cats, squirrels, and howl at birds that she can't quite reach despite her best efforts to climb trees (trust me, the dog can CLIMB!). Here are a couple polaroids I took while I was outside getting a kick out of her antics:

Sophia Loren; Fresh Air

Bluebird & Belle

I really want a yellow dress like the one Belle is wearing below...
