Lucky Labs Super Slots

As a designer at LuckyLabs, I've designed concepts, characters and interface art for our Lucky Super Slots mobile app-available now on Google Play! Here's a peek at some of the early concepts as well as other designs I created for the Unicorns VS. Gnomes theme.

Everything That Creeps! opens tonight at The Lincoln Arts Project

Come out to LAP at 289 Moody St in Waltham tonight from 7-10pm for the opening of Everything That Creeps!

Finished B-Day invite

Finished my friend's birthday invite! Note the strategically blurred address. Then this afternoon I'm off to Rochester for some quality time with my parents. Hip hip HOO-RAY!

Happy Birthday!

I've been at my new job for almost five months now! It has been a total game changer in terms of how I feel about work and myself. Unfortunately, the new gainfully employed me has a lot less free time and thus, I haven't been making much personal work. Why, why, why is it so hard to balance a job and art making? Needless to say I am super excited to work on a birthday invite for a friend of mine. It combines many of my favorite things: skulls, hand drawn type and margaritas. Happy Birthday to everyone!

Two New Recipes

Tried two new recipes this week-a buffalo tofu sandwich and a falafel sandwich. Both were awesome. Read more about them on The Curious Fry Pan!

Black beans & brownies on The Curious Fry Pan

Posted this Martha Stewart brownie recipe the other day over at The Curious Fry Pan.
They were tasty. Read the full post here.

I wanted to start a food blog until I freaked myself out by realizing that there are approximately 100 bajillion food blogs on the internet, and while I love taking food pics with my phone, I don't know if I'm ready to get into the ring in terms of taking really nice recipe shots. I am thankful there are people who do, I just don't know if that's really in my thing. Guess what is my thing? Drawing things with eyes and and putting arms and legs on them. So this blog will stay primarily my arts, farts and crafts and my new blog, The Curious Fry Pan will be food oriented with food-centric illustrations.

Progress

When you're not in art school and don't have someone keeping track of how your Pink Floyd/cheap wine fueled self portraits are coming along it can be hard to feel like you're making any artistic progress. While working on a new drawing tonight I came across a l'il digital piece I did about two years ago and impressed myself. I nodded thoughtfully and said "keep going in that direction".
Chin up, designy/drawy people everywhere. You're getting better all the time!

Food Glorious Food

I've been working on a new blog lately: The Curious Fry Pan! It's going to be about snacks and cooking and stuff! Coming to an internet near you soon!

Pinwheel Books

Recently I've been working with the inspiring and talented people at Pinwheel Books. Check out their beautiful and charming children's books here. You can also read about yours truly in their artist spotlight on their blog! Many thanks to Nicole and Sylvia.

Ladyfest Boston!

I have officially accepted that it is no longer "the holiday season". How have I coped with this lack of Silk Nog and good cheer? By making art for Ladyfest, that's how. Each piece is inspired by a song I love and these wood panels my friend Julie gave me. Digital on wood 8 x 8". Come check out the Adventures Close to Home show on Friday, Jan. 13th from 7-11pm at the WSAC and support awesome people and an awesome cause. The Washington Street Art Center is located at 321 Somerville Ave. Somerville, MA 02143.
