art + illustration + inspiration

Happy Christmas!

Ho-ho-haute holiday illustrations

My first illustration gig for FemaleNetwork is a brightly festive and cheery project–a set of nine drawings to accompany free, downloadable gift tags!

You can download them individually or get the ready-made PDF templates HERE.

I’m really thrilled I made these! I actually had the idea to make my own set of gift cards/tags for the holidays (but got a little lazy to do them, hehe), so this really forced me to JUST DO THEM. A huge THANK YOU to Myrza and the FN team!

Holiday heels

These shoes were made for dancin’, yeah.

My first signed edition!

I just love surprises! Last week, Heima informed me that someone already made a downpayment for one of my prints! YAY!

Specifically, it was for “Tread Lightly”–which is really the central image for “Inflated Dreams.” (See the full collection here!)

They told me it was going to be a surprise gift for someone, who as yet I won’t reveal–but this much I know, we used to go to the same college and she’s a popular contributor for various feature/lifestyle broadsheet titles (I’m not sure if she’s still actively working in media, though). I super duper hope she loves this (and writes about me! Hee)!

A huge shoutout to Tita Ellen and the guys at OneWorkshop for such a great job!!! You guys make my artwork look awesomer!

Killer nails

My nails in OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark

Because every now and then, I do have a goth side…

Been looking for something with a very deep, plummy hue–that’s nearly black as well!
