Early Illustration Work

Over the weekend, I visited my parents in Connecticut and stopped by Jones Family Farms. I used to work there in high school and college, and my mom still works there occasionally. For a few summers during college, my main job was painting photo-ops for pumpkin season. I was happy to see that some of mine are still in rotation. I'm pretty sure this was my first paid illustration work. [The banner in the top photo is more recent and painted by Pat Keegan, a.k.a. my mom. If you know anyone who needs a sign or mural... I'm her agent :)]

Favorites

I'm finding it very enjoyable to watch a slideshow of past flickr favorites...

2010 Calendar Preview

I just sent a 2010 poster/calendar to the printer and I am very excited to see how it turns out! It has space to write important dates under each month. It should be available to order in a few weeks.

Gloves Print

I have a brand new "Gloves" print available in my shop. This print comes in two different colors, and is a gocco print on heavy watercolor paper. For more info please visit the shop here.

U.K. Souvenirs

Here is a selection of magazines and zines that I brought back from the U.K. (Though some are actually American.) The two smallest books are from Owl + Lion in Scotland. Amelia's came with a piece of printed fabric that you can make into a bag. Another British magazine I really like, but didn't see was Lula.

London + Edinburgh Trip

I just came back from a few days in the U.K. It was my first time there. While in Edinburgh, I stopped by the Red Door Gallery to drop off a few posters to sell. The Red Door was the first shop anywhere to carry my work- it's a great store and I was happy to get to visit in person. Edinburgh is really beautiful city. I took lots of photos on the trip, and they are all here on my flickr page.

Thank You

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who ordered a Mountain poster from my web shop, and especially for bearing with me while I figured out the ins and outs of Paypal buttons and of shipping larger items like this. I know in many cases it's taken a bit more time than expected (especially for those ordering from outside the U.S.). I think this was due to the fact that the poster was shipped in tubes, so I've decided from now on to ship items flat whenever possible. The Mountain posters are nearly sold out, but I have several new projects in the works... so please stay tuned :)

Mountain Poster

I just added a new 12 x 18" poster to the shop. Each is signed on the back (an edition of 50). I'm really happy with how these turned out. For more info and to order, please go here.

Dimebag 3 Show

Dimebag 3, curated by Jordin Isip opens this weekend at Giant Robot NY. (My piece for the show is pictured above.)

Limited Edition Coloring Book

A few new drawings of mine are included in a very nicely designed coloring book put together by Lena Corwin. It also features Shabd Simon-Alexander, Christopher David Ryan, Mociun, Lena Corwin, Sian Keegan, and Valerian. You can purchase a copy here, along with Lena's new pillow designs and new "Travel" print that were shown on Design Sponge today.
