I’ve been wanting to do a run of baby/kids clothes for a while now, but I wasn’t sure how they would do.. So I’m testing it out via a drop-ship, made-to-order company, Redbubble.  Here are a few pieces I’m launching in time for the holidays!  All are black & white and are printed in the USA on American Apparel cotton onesies/and or shirts (just click the pull down menu under “style” to select either onesie, baby T, or kids T)

But when G1988 asked me about this one, it was a no-brainer.  One of my favorite movies, and a big anniversary to boot.  I decided to keep it simple, and base my piece off of one of the 1st scenes in the movie.. Dr. Peter Venkman’s ESP test.

This show will be traveling from NYC, to LA, Chicago, & then San Diego Comic-Con.  First up is NYC opening this Saturday!  Info on flyer below.

UPDATE: I’ve had a nice response to this necklace, thank you!  I may have to convince my husband to make a few more and put them on my site for sale..

So excited to be able to squeeze in this piece for the Bad Robot Art Experience happening at Gallery 1988 on April 24th!  Even though I’ve been really focused on my upcoming show at G1988 on May 3rd, I was a huge fan of Lost, so I just had to do a piece involving the Smoke Monster.  :)

So honored to work with such a great magazine.
