I can’t believe this will be my 5th time participating in Gallery 1988′s Crazy 4 Cult show! I’ve really loved creating work for this show over the past few years, it always gives me a good excuse to rewatch some of my favorite movies. This year I couldn’t decide between my childhood favorite, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off & my teenage favorite, Escape From New York.

I’m really excited (and a little hesitant) to share a little side project I’ve been working on with my husband. We’ve slooooowly been collaborating on a small line of jewelry.. No set deadline, but we’ve been working on it in between other projects. Here’s a little peek at an almost-finished prototype– The Shining maze, brass-cut necklace plate!

Things have been a little crazy around here this past month.. I recently moved (I know, again) to a little house in Chicago, as well as taking on a few freelance gigs and doing 5 new events with Reed Krakoff in NYC, Boston, Beverly Hills & San Francisco.
Anyway, I’m very excited to be participating in the Steve Martin tribute show, Exuuuuuse Meeeeeeee at Gallery 1988 Venice. Unfortunately there was a bit of a catastrophe in my studio (a real-life version of the game Mouse Trap is more like it) and the piece I had been working on was completely ruined. Without much time to fix it, I decided to leave the painting flat-lined, & just contribute this tiny one below.. Which is sort of a continuation of my last Steve Martin piece that can be seen here.

So excited to be included in the upcoming Alfred Hitchcock tribute, Suspense & Gallows Humor at Gallery 1988 Venice. Not only is this one of my favorite tribute shows, but I was also able to base a piece on one of my all-time favorite movies; the 1963 classic, The Birds.. Can’t wait for this one! Opens Friday, April 15th.

When Gallery 1988 asked me if I’d like to participate in their second installment of Is This Thing On?, I jumped at the chance. Last year I depicted the great Steve Martin, but this year I decided to take on my other favorite comic, the late Mitch Hedberg.
I was first introduced to Mitch’s stand-up years back, by my roommate who used to play his recordings while we worked in the studio. I was instantly in love. His wit, play with language, and absurd observations paired with an odd, but enduring delivery made for a great comic who continues to be missed.
I once read that Mitch suffered from almost paralyzing stage fright and often wore sunglasses while on stage, so he could close his eyes while speaking. I thought about this a lot while sketching up ideas for my piece, and decided that a straight-forward portrait of Mitch would not suit him. To me, his words are really what he’d most likely prefer to be remembered for, so I tested out a new technique and created 8 small, wood etchings of my favorite quotes. All wood panels are sealed in resin.

A few months back I worked in collaboration with the amazing Chinese fashion/lifestyle magazine, Little Thing, to do an issue based on the theme, twins. The entire issue was dedicated to all things in two, from the fashion spreads, to the artwork, to the products featured. I just received a copy yesterday and even though I can’t read it, it really looks incredible (I mean, there’s even a popup feature.. eeeeep!).
So honored to work with such a great magazine.

Can’t wait for this one, coming up on March 9th at Gallery 1988 Melrose. Over 100 artists depicting over 100 stand up comedians and Weird Al hosting should make for an awesome time. I’ll be posting my pieces (all 8) on one of my favorite comedians of all time, Mitch Hedberg, in a couple of days.. Stay tuned!
