Tiny Birthday Portraits
This weekend was a fun-filled crazy one, as my siblings, family friends, and I threw my Mom a huge surprise 60th birthday party! We spent over a month planning, crafting, and setting up a pop-up party for our favorite lady. So much work, but so very worth it!
I made these tiny portraits of my Mom from the 1970′s, her/my dad today, and their dog, Jack, that were made in to small magnets for the guests to bring home with them. I have to say, they turned out pretty cute.. And I think they were a big hit! :)

NY Times Op-Ed: A No-Fly Zone for Knives
I did another quick illustration for the NY Times Op-Ed section. The piece was written by an airline stewardess who opposes T.S.A.’s decision to allow passengers to carry small knives.. I had fun coming up with ideas for this one!

Life After Work
It’s been an insane few months, between trying to crank out paintings for my upcoming show at Gallery 1988 and the few freelance gigs I can squeeze in.. Let’s just say my house is a disaster, sometimes Iwear sweatpants until 2pm, and I haven’t had a haircut since, well, I can’t remember.. But my hair’s so long, I could probably go topless outside and not be arrested.
Anyway, this week I was able to do a quick illustration for the NY Times Sunday Review section, b/c I needed a break from painting & I loved the article entitled, “Is There Life After Work?“ Special thanks to the wonderful Aviva Michaelov, who art directed!

HelloGiggles & Gallery 1988 Present: Young Adult
Recently I’ve had to turn down quite a few awesome theme shows, in order to focus on my 2-person show in May. But I just couldn’t pass up the upcoming all-girl show, a collaboration between HelloGiggles (founded by Zooey Deschanel, Sophia Rossi, & Molly McAleer) & Gallery 1988 entitled Young Adult. The show is geared towards a younger female crowd, with all pieces based on various book series, including The Baby-Sitters Club, Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High, and Goosebumps.
I spent my pre-teen summers reading literally all of these series, as far into them as my middle-school years would deem socially acceptable. For my piece, I ultimately decided on Sweet Valley High, because at age 11, I had an older cousin who gave me over 30 of her old SVH books. Even though my mom told me they were too old for me, I read them anyways.. thinking I was reading a taboo, adult series of some kind. Anyway, I loved them, and would constantly flip back to the covers as I read, checking out the hair styles and clothes they were wearing.
I wanted to do a piece that reinterpreted that famous, circular illustrated cover that usually portrayed Jessica & Elizabeth Wakefield in various dramatic poses. It’s painted on a circular wood panel, with Flashe paint, and is sealed under a layer of resin. The show opens in LA on February 2nd.

Hitman Trilogy Art Book
I was honored to contribute an original piece for the Special Edition Hitman Trilogy art book, out this month with the Hitman HD Collection release. Each artist was asked to reinterpret a specific scene from one of the first 3 games, mine being Agent 47′s failed clones. I thought it might be fun to have the original 47 play his less-than-smart clones at poker, since he would probably end up winning every single hand. Prints of the piece are available here for a limited time.

Press Paws
I’m more than thrilled to be a part of Press Paws, a charity art show taking place on February 9th, at Gallery Nucleus. All proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to the ALL volunteer animal rescue, Whats Up Dog LA. Each artist was asked to pick their favorite animal from a video game & create a piece based on it.. I chose a Spiny from Super Mario Bros, who I always found to be both cute, and sort of annoying. :)
More info on the great event, and a chance to donate HERE.

Bloomberg View + Updates
Things have been a little slow here on the blog, but then again, very busy in my studio! I have two, sorta-secret projects in the works (more on that a little later), and I’m trying to take a few fun freelance jobs along the way. This week I did a little piece for the Bloomberg View, on the historical vs. modern interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. Read it HERE.
In fun news, my husband and I bought the tiniest pickup truck of all time. It’s ridiculous. Anyway, I’ll have a bit more info after the holidays about the cool things happening in 2013. Until then, have a very warm, safe, & Merry Christmas!
Sunday Review NY Times
I did a fun little piece for the Times this Sunday all about science & buzzwords. See full article HERE.
