In Progress Art: Wood Red Cross, 18 x 18 inches. My inspiration of the week comes in the form of a burst of color that I pulled from a recent Boden catalog. I especially love the British spelling of color! My favorite little mythical creature Rocky HATES having his photo taken. But, when we’re shooting [...]

Anniversary photos, September 17, 2011. My print portfolio is finished and bound and I’ve taken it out for a spin quite a few times already…I just need to set aside the time to photograph it and show you! After years of reworking my portfolio, this is the first version that I’m totally happy with. Finally! [...]

A yearly tradition: standing next to George on Wall Street. The Arrival. I left for New York last Friday night and arrived Saturday morning, just in time for Bianca’s birthday party. But right away, I knew that things wouldn’t be the same this year. After all, it was September 10th, the eve of the ten [...]

This week, I had way too many late nights and in direct response to that, way too many iced coffees. My special party dress arrived just in time. It’s a piece of 60s op-art perfection and will be making its debut Wednesday night both on a rooftop and in a bar covered in damask wallpaper [...]

My custom portfolio covers arrived yesterday (you can’t tell from this photo but the wordmarks are silver foil embossed). So excited! They’re totally old-school and classic and I had the insides lined in black as well. I’m finalizing my book this weekend so I can get it all printed up and assembled. I’ll do a [...]

Slowly but surely making progress….one by one. This week, I finally finished my client questionnaire. It’s so simple but I really feel that it will help new clients know what kind of information to share about their companies. Little things like this make me really excited. Enjoyed breakfast with Joey at our favorite place, Paradox. [...]

Working on one of my favorite artpieces yet. Of course it contains a combination of bodyforms, shapes and type. Cheers! Joey, Rocky & I take a walk together most mornings and usually stop by our favorite coffee shop in the process. Red crosses are my perfect symbol, always. Beauty is in the details. Hello, world! [...]

Leather Peter Pan collar, Asos. Cities tee, Forever 21. Working on new art means that scraps are everywhere! It’s both exciting and a little scary after taking a few years off. One of my favorite type specimens from Interview Magazine (still inspiring me a year later) paired with my favorite perfume, Vanillary from LUSH. In [...]

On Saturday, Stumptown made me a very special coffee. My friend Christine stopped in town for a visit, I hit the Brewfest with my dad, we made it over to Hotel Fifty, Mama Nubs flew in from Phoenix, we had a family BBQ, Auntie Nubs had a beautiful solo art opening in The Pearl and [...]

Kristin took some snaps of her cute friend Sam holding the oversized promo cards I designed for her last month. This should give you a much better idea of the scale; they’re HUGE. I love Stumptown. Met a sweet Nubbytwiglet.com reader visiting from San Jose and did a quick little interview last night. REPRESENT. MJ [...]
