It’s one of my favorite days of the year.. the annual, the anticipated, the notorious American Illustration/ American Photography book release party! Comparable to Christmas, it brings together some of my favorite creative people and everyone eats, drinks, and blabs without boundaries.. this party never disappoints!
I was so excited to have one of my best friends, Courtney Wotherspoon, in town from Toronto for the party.. Both books looked amazing this year, showcasing the most talented in the fields. I am honored to be included in the book for my 5th year, with these two pieces seen HERE.

I spent the weekend in Georgia enjoying the weather and eating until I dropped!
A Monday-morning-I’m-still-sleepy sketchy.
I was recently invited to participate in SMart: A SMod Art Show at Gallery 1988, which celebrates the release of Kevin Smith’s new book. 25 artists were each assigned a SModcast episode (or a portion of one), to base their piece on. SModcast is a hilarious weekly podcast featuring Kevin and long time friend, Scott Mosier, and is definitely not for the easily offended.
I received a segment of Episode #37, entitled Jennifer Connelly Remake, which basically explores the possibilities and scenarios if Jennifer Connelly decided to remake the life of Scott Mosier. I can’t do this episode any justice by writing about it, so if intrigued, listen to it HERE. It’s a super long episode, so you can skip right to it starting at: 29:00 min.

Hello Fall, you have been missed.
Monday morning blues distraction.

Dublin-based film critic, John Maguire, sums up this amazing show best by saying, “Taming Light is a group exhibition of new painting, photography and illustration paying tribute to one of the pre-eminent filmmakers of the 20th Century, Stanley Kubrick.” Showing at the Light House Cinema in Dublin from October 1st-31st, the exhibition is organized on a not-for-profit basis and admission is free.
I am really excited about this show (my piece HERE), I wish I could jet to Dublin right now to see it in person! Stop by if you’re lucky enough to live in the area, or view all the art on the brand new site HERE. Below is my favorite piece from the show, by the incredibly talented painter, Fransis Matthews. It makes my eyes pop and my brain buzz:

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: I had an AMAZING time at Coach during Fashion’s Night Out last Thursday! It was also fun to see & meet some of my favorite fashion bloggers (Keiko Lynn, Clothes Horse, Coquette, nitro:licious, etc), who were also guests of Coach for the night.
Read the long version of my night HERE.
Below are a few pictures from the event, then a few of the 10 min bags I worked on, and finally the bag I did for Coach’s archive.
