Frenchman Street is famous for its eclectic mix of live music happening nightly, late into the night. Perfect for me to put the kids to bed and get out to experience the […]

A few months ago I was asked to create the 2018 cover for the Edelman citizenship report, an annual report of sorts. The cover had to encompass the 4 main principles of their corporate culture: community, people, world, and clients. After a few sketches were worked over the final color version was created. The 4 […]

I had a few sketch options which I think worked but I’m really happy with the “slanted runway” concept that was chosen. Many thanks to AD Bernadette and the NYT for […]

This story by Louisa Loveluck and Suzan Haidamous is both beautiful and painful. It’s hard to say whether I enjoyed this assignment or found it a painful reminder of the senselessness that happens sometimes in the world. I recommend any visitors to my blog to read it here. Thank you to Jason at the Washington Post […]

I was contacted last week to create a series of illustrations for the Style section of the New York Times. The illustrations needed to work with photos of different cosmetics as the article was about How to Wear Spring’s Most Inventive New Makeup. It was a bit of a challenge but challenges often lead to interesting […]

New for @washingtonpost today. Meet the #jurors of the #derekchauvin trial.
Back at it. Postponed for the #pandemic but the project is back on 👏🏼
Last June I was asked to create this new merlot label. It was a very focused project and one that I was very grateful for. It was one of the few projects that I worked on during the lockdown and it really helped keep my mind positive. It was very peaceful exploring the delicacy of wings, the design of the filagree, and the iconic ‘A’.
Last night’s fashion drawing session with @bildonovan @soi128 @offenbad
Views from my home yesterday.
If you watched my #igtv vid, here is the finished #drawing
