here’s a little glimpse of the new zine I’m working on ✏️ #wip
There are lots of things to love about springtime. One being buttercups, which may be the cutest flower. One thing not to love about springtime, is the explosion in the stink bug population. I used to not mind them. They don't do anything, they're slow and catch-able so you can banish them from your house. No big deal! But in the building I work at they are taking over! To the point that one found its way onto my head, and now I mind them a little more. Meanwhile, a coffee cup full of buttercups picked for me by one of my bosses' kids sits on my desk, and I just wished that if anything was going to be in my hair, why couldn't it be those little flowers instead of an imposing stink bug...
oh maannn, you were in NOBROW???? *follows* I have such love for that magazine. Someday all the issues will be mine. ALL OF THEM! :D
I was! And yes. They are awesome. Good goal!
A new little piece for the New York Times Op Ed about disparity in taxes, which just went up yesterday evening. I enjoy suit-guy's ape-like arms. Thanks to AD Alexandra Zsigmond. You can read the article online here.
Illustration for Nautilus on the migration of Waldrapp ibises. This was for their 3rd issue, In Transit, though it was pulled from their online issue at the last minute. It'll be appearing in a second print run of "In Transit" however, so that's less of a shame. It was great to work with Len Small, and if you haven't checked out Nautilus yet, go do that!
Waldrapp ibises are so ugly ♡
Sebastian Mesnard kindly invited me to take part in Gallery Nucleus' upcoming show Edward Scissorhands 20th Anniversary Tribute, and above is a little preview of the piece I did for it. I chose to illustrate the scene where Edward is rushed by the suburban housewives and all their ambrosia salads. One of my favorite scenes among tons in this movie, which made it hard to choose! It'd been years since I'd seen Edward Scissorhands so it was great to rewatch it, and I remembered just how lovely this movie is. It stands the test of time pretty well too! It's not as dated as you might expect it to be.
If you want to see my full piece, check out the Scissorhands 20th blog. There are so many great pieces by great artists in the show and it's absolutely worth a look! Thanks again, Seb!
I opened a store on Society 6! In addition to art prints, you'll also find a few iphone cases and a t-shirt featuring my moths. Go on and check it out! Is there anything I've done that you'd really like to see for sale? Feel free to let me know!
Thanks guys.
New piece for the NY Times about how educated and professionally-driven women have risen in men's tastes. Check out the article in the Sunday Review. Thanks to AD Aviva Michaelov!
