Inspire Me Thursday:Gratitude

"There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you." 

~ Unknown

This Thanksgiving I am grateful for my little sister Dani. It has been a crazy year with a lot of changes and we have been there for each other even though we are living 2000 miles apart. I am lucky to have such a good friend in my sister.

Illustration Friday:Superstition

Since the time I first heard the phrase "Step on a crack, break your mother's back" I have avoided the seams, cracks and crevices of the sidewalk. I also never open an umbrella indoors and I don't walk under ladders but I"ll leave those illustrations for another day.

Illustration Friday: Scales

i have a mini obsession with mermaids. the little mermaid is my favorite disney movie, so i am BEYOND excited that the little mermaid just opened here on broadway! i am such a kid! i'm dragging the boyfriend with me (LUCKY HIM!!!) anyway, i thought a mermaid would fit this weeks topic nicely!

(in other news because i upgraded my macbook to leopard, my HP all in one printer is not scanning (it prints but doesn't scan) I tried installing individually via the subinstaller folder but my scanner still isn't working, so i snapped a photo instead. i do have my old ibook with tiger installed so i suppose until HP updates their software I'll be reverting back to my former love. anyway, that explains the odd crop (i cut off the bottom of the drawing), but you get the picture. ) this is what i get for bragging about having no problems doing a clean install of leopard! anyway, thanks for looking & listening/reading!

Illustration Friday: Hats

I LOVE hats! It is becoming a problem. They are also one of my favorite things to draw! Right now I'm loving the hats seen in Marc Jacobs F/W 2008 collection (as seen in my inspiration art journal pages), so I used that collection as an inspiration for this drawing

Fall Photos Week 4

I'm a little behind, I took 3 days off from work to relax & to house sit. I decided I want to be a freelance house sitter. It is the best thing ever! :) :) It wasn't a big weekend for photos, I hated half of the photos I took, but these were pretty sweet...

Sophie also loves house sitting so long as there is a yard! What a great way to end October!

Self Portrait Challenge: What I Wear

This week (yesterday in fact), I wore blue tights:

I've been playing around with colored tights. Purple tights are my favorite (that was last week), so I thought I would try something new. I was really daring because I wore this to work at my white shoe firm here in Manhattan. I figured, you can wear a bright colored sweater why not tights? I pulled it off! It was fun, what color should I try next?!
