Sunsets! Fascination! Skeeball! Flowers!

Summer Sketches

Sketching some stuff for a new project I'm working on. Ooh la la.

Pimms is #1!

A doodle of my favorite summertime cocktail. And a recipe!

• Fill a Collins glass with ice. Or a pint glass. Or a mug, whatever, I'm not here to judge.
• Mix 1 part Pimms Cup No. 1 with 2 parts lemonade.
• Stir it up.
• Top off with club soda, or use lemon-lime soda if you want it to be sweeter.
• Stir.
• Garnish with a slice of cucumber, mint, and lemon wedge if you're extra fancy.

Also:

• If you don't have lemonade, use Sprite or 7-Up. (I also read a version where someone used Fresca.)
• If you use ginger ale, throw in extra lemons.
• Apple slices, oranges and strawberries can be added.

Everything's coming up Milhouse

Finally figuring out how to enjoy this weird summer. Big changes job wise make big changes everything else wise. Thanks to my amazing friends and very nice boyfriend I am accepting this as a time to relax, recharge and make things. Cooking, reading, traveling, arting, spending quality time with people and rediscovering my love of Ribbit King, the best frog oriented golf video game out there. Thanks, universe.

Now with more website...and a new whip!

In addition to adding a bunch of new work to my portfolio site this weekend, I also picked up a garage sale bike that restored my faith in the universe. I want to get a basket for it and ride it on a rainbow with a puppy and a baguette and a striped dress and french garage rock playing in the background.
Uh...so go to my website.

Weekend Update

I'll be spending this rainy weekend doing some much needed revamping of my portfolio site. Updating it with lots of work from WGBH in addition to my recent work with MIT and a newer bigger sketchbook section. Giddy up.

Coffin Lids & Guitar Wolf at Church

Coffin Lids, Cheap Time and Guitar Wolf played a sold out show on 5.15.11 @ Church.

More Aliens!

These last couple of days have been stinktastic, but I finished 105 tiny aliens over the weekend, so really HOW BAD CAN THINGS BE?

Aliens!

Birthday month is officially over so it's time to stop beligerantly forcing people to pay attention to me and get back to more socially acceptable forms of connecting with others, like sharing personal information on the internet. I'll go first-I've been working on some designs for a mobile game that a friend of mine is producing. It's alien/food web themed-here are some of the characters I've been making for the game. Creating a total of 105 of these l'il guys!

St. Paddy's Day Flier

You know what's always guaranteed to be a nice, quiet, civilized night on the town? St. Patrick's Day. A time when people pay respectful homage to a culture they feel deeply connected to, like in that Simpson's episode where Homer puts the keg of beer on his head and says "I'm the Prime Minister of Ireland". Anywhoo, here's a flier I made for a St. Paddy's show at the Rosebud. You should totally go.

AIB & Stickermule Stickers

John Burkett was nice enough to ask me to come in to AIB to be a visiting artist in his Opaque Media class. I showed some of my work and did a demo on some of my favorite gouache techniques and made this little Valentines painting. Thanks to John and all of his students for being such awesome hosts!

Yesterday when I got home my Stickermule order was waiting for me! Yay! These are the first die cut custom stickers I've had made and I love 'em. They do all kinds of custom sticky stuff, ipad, iphone skins, you name it. Check out their site for more info.

Robot G.U.T.S. 3

I went up to Monserrat this week to paint with Fish McGill and a bunch of other cool people as part of Fishs' Robot G.U.T.S. 3 installation at the 301 Gallery. The project was a collaboration between Fish, Boston area artists and Monserrat students ending with all of the art being auctioned off (for free!) I couldn't go to the closing party or raffle last night but I'm sure it was awesome. And I'm sure you already knew about it because you follow Fishs' blog. Do it! I got to eat a burrito the size of my head. I met cool people like Lizzie Siegel and a a super nice Monserrat student there who shared his Polaroid printer thing with us. It was awesome. Many thanks to Jamie and Ryan for giving me a ride to the Bev and to Fish and Sheryl for taking such awesome photos.

Stickertown 5000

Did I say thanks for coming to 242 last Friday? No? I totally meant to. If you missed it you can still go check it out this Friday some 6-8pm time, same 242 E. Berkeley St place. I'm working on a sticker design for the super awesome custom sticker site Stickermule. They can make iphone skins, they can make die cuts, they can make you happy! Check 'em out.

Yes. Will it end promptly at 8pm? I cannot stress this enough. For more info go to http://www.space242.com/.

All done! Finishing up the companion piece...

Good Vs. Evil Progress

I'm working on finishing up pieces for the Space242 Good VS. Evil show...here's the progress on the first one. I loved reading and collecting X-Men growing up and later on became a big Atomics/Mike Allred fan. Cribbing from those influences and 60's era movie posters for these pieces. Really excited to finish them. Yay art.

L'il Witches

Finished l'il witches pieces...these girls were in the Freeky Friday Nights 242 show back in October. Finishing up some superhero inspired stuff for the next 242 show that opens at the end of the month.

Happy New Year! Here's a show flyer I made inspired by my love of Art Chantry and this book I got for Christmas called "Naive: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design".

Goodbye California

Pics from the wedding I went to on Catalina. It rained the entire time and looked like Lord of the Rings. Plus there was champagne! And a kid who could do the worm. And Alex and Jeremie pledging their eternal love.
